3DO Overview

Profire Co Ltd appeared on the original Developer list in 1993. It never produced any 3DO games. Even though the formation date of the company is 3 years later, I am confident it is the same company, as it was a alliance between 4 developers rather than a solo company.

Overview

Profire Co., Ltd. (株式会社プロファイア) is a computer hardware and software development company based in Nagoya, with an office in Tokyo. It was established on April 1, 1996.

In June 2000, Profire established a game production subsidiary called Profire NDC (now Phonoca).

Profire is part of a "strategic business alliance group" called Byakugun with four other game development companies — Alfa System, Matrix Software, Meteorise, and Studio Artdink — to cooperate in each other's development projects.
