Fujisankei Communications International, Inc. is the American arm of the Fujisankei Communications Group, an important Japanese media conglomerate of television and radio channels, magazine, newspaper, record and video game companies. The Fujisankei Communications Group owns about 100 companies, like Fuji TV in Japan, among others. Founded in 1986 in New York City, FCI makes productions from FCG available to the United States and the rest of the western world.
FCI was well known for videogame publishing as well, being one of the early third-party developers for Nintendo's NES system. Originally, FCI merely published in North America translations of video games that were released in Japan by Pony Canyon, another company from the Fujisankei Communications Group, who did the development. FCI was well-known at this time for the many RPG/Adventure games they released for the NES as conversions from PC games, e.g. the AD&D and Ultima series.
