Minnapad | Spiritual Successors with Japan Legends

A Tokyo/Sigapore-based entertainment studio dedicated to creating original global IP in collaboration with legendary Japanese game creators.

We specialize in developing spiritual successors—new IP that inherit the creative philosophy, gameplay essence, and narrative strength of iconic titles, while remaining fully original and globally competitive.

Minnapad co-creates and co-owns IP with creators, enabling long-term creative commitment beyond traditional work-for-hire models. We focus on AA-scale PC games with lower development budgets, targeting Western retro gamers who grew up with Japanese games and demonstrate strong purchasing power. Successful titles are systematically expanded through DLC, mobile adaptations, and licensing, including merchandise and animation.
