SETA Corporation[lower-alpha 1] was a Japanese computer gaming company, founded on October 1, 1985 and dissolved on February 9, 2009.[1] SETA was headquartered in Kōtō, Tokyo,[2] with a branch in Las Vegas, Nevada.[3]

SETA developed and published games for consoles such as the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It created development tools for Nintendo's consoles.[4] It made games in North America but mainly Japan, focusing on golf and puzzles. It developed the Aleck 64 arcade system, based on the Nintendo 64 console.[5] SETA also assisted in the production of the SSV arcade system, alongside Sammy and Visco.

In 1999, Aruze became the parent company.[6] SETA withdrew from the game business in 2004 after releasing Legend of Golfer on the GameCube. The company announced its closure in December 2008 due to Japan's declining economic state.[1] SETA officially closed on January 23, 2009, with Aruze absorbing the company's assets. It was subsequently liquidated at the Tokyo District Court on May 25, 2009.

Aleck 64

The Aleck 64 is the Nintendo 64 design in arcade form, designed by SETA in cooperation with Nintendo, and sold from 1998 to 2003 only in Japan.[18] It essentially consists of a Nintendo 64 board retrofitted with the sound capabilities which are standard for arcade games of the time.[19] Nintendo and SETA began working on their agreement for the board in 1996, hoping to recreate the business model Namco and Sony Computer Entertainment displayed with the Namco System 11, to facilitate conversions of arcade games.[20]
