MarvelousAQL has announced that its U.S. publishing subsidiary XSEED JKS is being rebranded as Marvelous USA, with Shinichi Suzuki as the president and CEO. This new division will retain the XSEED Games brand for publishing PC, console, and handheld games and Marvelous Online (bolstered earlier this year by the addition of the Atlus Online team) for mobile and social titles.

“Marvelous USA unifies our U.S. operations under the global Marvelous brand while giving our customers topnotch products and support for both traditional and online social and mobile games,” said Suzuki. “Our XSEED Games console and PC brand will continue to offer the quality games and service for which it is known, and Marvelous Online gives us expanded reach into mobile and online social gaming markets.”

Ken Berry will continue as executive vice president of the XSEED Games label, managing all publishing, marketing, and localization efforts for the brand while Marvelous Online will be run by the recently appointed senior director Tatsuya Nishioka. Both Berry and Nishioka will report directly to Suzuki.
