Was Ultra a division of Konami? - Page 2

*Stone Ill* · 07-24-2003, 08:58 PM

I read in a magazine that Ultra was Konami's former name..or atleast some division in it.

They were a second company Konami made so they could sell more games at one time.

Actually it was so they'd appear to be less Japanese.

Ninja Tiptup · 07-28-2003, 04:07 PM

LOL, could be.

Konami were around and making games before the 1987(?) release of TMNT. so changing there company name for 1 title would seem pretty weird.

And if you look, the 1987 hand held battery operated games, were made by Konami, and not Ultra.

Obvously Ultra had the original rights to make console based tmnt games, but konami had the hand held rights. and tmnt owners obvoisly thought that Konami were doing a better job (thank god)

No sir Ultra was an extra name for Konami. Konami always had the console rights to TMNT. TMNT 1 was released under the Konami name to boot. Check out the credits on the begining of the game my man. I believe they say Konami on there somewhere (on the US version of TMNT 1 and/or 2 that is.

Plus, you can look up websites on the subject that say the same thing.

Ninja Tiptup · 09-27-2003, 03:16 PM

I wouldn't know. I never played the Amstrad version of TMNT 1.

I believe they have the history of TMNT games somewhere on www.classicgaming.com.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh Okay.
There's a rule that we don't bring old threads back, but meh who's counting.

Anyways, several sources all say that Konami started Ultra.

jasonorme666 · 09-28-2003, 10:44 AM

I think what mainly bring a debate is that Ultra really sucked arse.
But Konami Really Kick Arse.

So, i guess thats why it seems to weird

And Impetus, i love you

They are both Konami but under the name of Ultra. TMNT 1 and 2, Metal Gear 1, and Skate or Die 1 were released. None of which sucked. So how does Ultra suck? If anything the name was less than original.
