Safety and Security of
Products and Services

The Bandai Namco Group is actively working to offer products and services that anyone can enjoy. For example, MegaHouse’s Ittai Othello, an all-in-one product, features black pieces with a raised surface and white pieces with a concaved surface, so players can distinguish them by touch. Furthermore, the pieces are built into the game board, meaning they will never get lost. Rubik’s Cube Universal Design by MegaHouse features a different uneven shape for each color of the six sides, so it can be aligned by touch.

In the visual works field, Bandai Namco Filmworks provides barrier-free voice guides that explain the background to the story and describe the movements and facial expressions of the characters. It also displays subtitles so that people with visual or hearing impairments can also enjoy visual content. In these ways, we are working to offer products that can be enjoyed by an even greater number of people.

Bandai Namco Entertainment is adding functions to its games to ensure accessibility with the aim of developing games that can be enjoyed by everyone.

As one example, we use a color vision simulator during development so that color-blind people who have difficulty seeing certain colors can play the game without any problems. In addition to this, we are promoting the development of games that are accessible for more people through, for example, functions that allow the player to adjust the brightness of the game and add subtitles for in-game audio. We are also creating internal guidelines that outline recommended ways to implement these functions.
