The company name was apparently an [[acronym]] for '''C'''omputer '''A'''musement '''Vi'''su'''a'''lizer, although the company web site also claims it refers to [[caviar]].<ref>{{ja icon}} [http://www.cavia.com/jp_web_data/index.html Cavia<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The company was founded on March 1, 2000 and has its headquarters in [[Tokyo]], Japan. Its shareholders included [[Amuse Capital]], [[Tokuma Shoten]], [[Tohokushinsha Film Corporation]], [[Nippon Television Network Corporation]], [[Tokyo FM]] Broadcasting, [[Mitsubishi Corporation]], and [[Hayao Nakayama]]. Cavia usually developed games for already existing franchises, like ''[[Naruto]]'', ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'', ''[[One Piece]]'' or ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]'' for various publishers. On October 2005, the company’s name was changed from Cavia Inc. to [[AQ Interactive]] Inc. AQ Interactive Inc. becomes a holding company responsible for the management of subsidiary companies as well as sales and promotion of game software. The old company’s game planning & development business is transferred to a newly established Cavia Inc.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cavia.com/en_web_data/company/index.html|title=Cavia Company Profile|date=October 2005|publisher=Cavia Inc.|accessdate=2009-08-13}}</ref> In July 2010, it was officially announced that the company would be disbanded and absorbed into AQ Interactive. The company would henceforth stop developing games, with [[Nier (video game)|Nier]] which it released in May 2010 being the last game developed by Cavia.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gamingunion.net/news/nier-to-be-cavias-last-title-company-ceases--2175.html |title=NieR To Be Cavia's Last Title, Company Ceases |author=Darryl |date=2010-07-12 |publisher=Gaming Union |accessdate=2010-07-08}}</ref> ==Games== *''Nihon Daihyo-senshu Ni Naro'' - (2002, [[PlayStation 2]]) *''[[List of One Piece video games|One Piece: Nanatsu Shima no Daihihō]]'' - (2002, [[Game Boy Advance]]) *''[[Resident Evil: Dead Aim]]'' - (2003, [[PlayStation 2]]) *''[[Drakengard]]'' - (2003, [[PlayStation 2]]) *''Takahashi Naoko no Marathon shiyouyo!'' - (2003, [[PlayStation 2]]) *''Kamen Rider Seigi no Keifu'' - (2003, [[PlayStation 2]]) *''Soccer Life!'' - (2004, [[PlayStation 2]]) *''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (video game)|Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]'' - (2004, [[PlayStation 2]]) *''[[Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors]]'' - (2004, [[Game Boy Advance]]) *''[[Steamboy]]'' - (2005, [[PlayStation 2]]) *''Soccer Life 2'' - (2005, [[PlayStation 2]]) *''[[Drakengard 2]]'' - (2005, [[PlayStation 2]]) *''[[Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles]]'' - (2005, [[PlayStation 2]]) *''[[Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance]]'' - (2005, [[PlayStation 2]]/[[Xbox]]) *''[[Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2]]'' - (2005, [[Nintendo DS]]) *''[[Tetris: The Grand Master|Tetris: The Grand Master Ace]]'' - (2005, [[Xbox 360]]) *''Tsuushin Taisen Majyan: Toryumon'' - (2006, [[Xbox 360]]) *''Zitsuroku Oniyomenikki: Shiuchi Ni Taeru Otto No Rifuzintaiken Adventure'' - (2006, [[PlayStation Portable]]) *''[[Dragon Quest: Shōnen Yangus to Fushigi no Dungeon]]'' - (2006, [[PlayStation 2]]) *''[[WinBack 2: Project Poseidon]]'' - (2006, [[PlayStation 2]]/[[Xbox]]) *''[[Love Com|Lovely Complex: Punch de Conte]]'' - (2006, [[PlayStation 2]]) *''[[Bullet Witch]]'' - (2006, [[Xbox 360]]) *''[[Zegapain XOR]]'' - (2006, [[Xbox 360]]) *''[[Naruto: Konoha Spirits]]'' - (2006, [[PlayStation 2]]) *''[[Zegapain NOT]]'' - (2006, [[Xbox 360]]) *''[[Death Note#Video games|Death Note: Kira Game]]'' - (2006, [[Nintendo DS]]) *''[[Victorious Boxers: Revolution]]'' - (2007, [[Wii]]) *''[[Fate/Tiger Colosseum]]'' - (2007, [[PlayStation Portable]]) *''[[Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles]]'' - (2007, [[Wii]]) *''[[Sega Bass Fishing]]'' - (2008, [[Wii]]) *''[[KORG DS-10]]'' - (2008, [[DS]]) *''[[KORG DS-10 plus]]'' - (2009, [[DS]]/[[DSi]]) *''[[Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles]]'' - (2009, [[Wii]]) *''[[Nier (video game)|Nier Gestalt]]'' - (2010, [[PlayStation 3]], [[Xbox 360]]) *''[[Nier (video game)|Nier Replicant]]'' - (2010, [[PlayStation 3]]) *''Cry On'' - (Cancelled, [[Xbox 360]]) ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== *{{Official|http://www.cavia.com/index.html}} {{ja icon}} *[http://games.ign.com/objects/567/567222.html IGN company website] [[Category:Companies established in 2000]] [[Category:Companies of Japan]] [[Category:Video game developers]] [[Category:Software companies of Japan]] [[Category:Japanese video game companies]] [[Category:Japanese games]] [[Category:Defunct video game companies]] [[Category:Companies disestablished in 2010]] {{Japan-videogame-company-stub}} [[es:Cavia inc.]] [[ja:キャビア (企業)]] [[pt:Cavia (companhia)]]
