was a joint-venture between Electronic Arts and Victor Entertainment. They made sports games for the Family Computer, Super Famicom, and the Mega Drive. This brand name is unknown outside Japan and the emulation community (since the brand only appears on the game's cover and/or in the media). Some concepts include J-League association football, American football, and NHL hockey.
In December 1997, Electronic Arts acquired Victor's 35% stake in the venture, and in May 1998 signed a similar joint-venture deal with Square to publish EA titles in Japan, called Electronic Arts Square.
