History

Niitani decided to found COMPILE◯ in order to publish his new development, Nyoki Nyoki, and as a new venture after the company he founded previously.
In an interview with Fumio Kurokawa, Niitani talks about the success of Puyo Puyo and how a game potentially on par with Tetris grew the company he founded in 1982. He also mentions that «entrepreneurship is "but me", and there are no objectives» and «the common people only know tactics», criticizing the big companies and their commercial objectives. He also mentions that «the opportunity to start a business is "alone or as a company"», which led him to create his own company, spirit that he would maintain throughout his life when he founded COMPILE◯ and developed Nyoki Nyoki.
