This page is no longer being updated, partially out of protest at the incident now being referred to in the press as "Raw Dangergate", partially due to my own lack of interest in much of their current lineup, but mainly because I can't be arsed any more.

Also because of Noel Edmonds.


505 Games (formerly 505 GameStreet or 505 Game Street or 505GameStreet, depending on how you space it), for the unaware, is an Italian videogame publisher and subsidiary of larger Italian company Digital Bros (who also own distributors Halifax and the G@me Network TV channel), mainly publishing games licensed from Japanese companies. The vast majority of their output has been for the PS2, with a range of full-price games and a budget line called "Simply 20" which mostly consists of D3's Simple 2000 games (although there are some other interesting things in there, if you poke around a bit), but they seem to be largely abandoning that platform in favour of the DS, and have also released a few things for the PS1, Xbox and PSP. Oh, and they never used to bother with such things as advertising and press releases (although that seems to be changing), so a great deal of people remain completely unaware that most of their games even exist.

505 have recently established a UK division, based in Milton Keynes, which seems to be responsible for improving distribution and press awareness of their games (yay!), cancelling Rule of Rose in the UK (boo!) and entering the PC market with ArmA (meh!), but as far as I can tell their HQ is still in Italy.

This here is a list of all of their known past and future releases (as of the last update, anyway), as well as what they were called in Japanese (the actual useful bit) and a very approximate release date. The inaccuracy of dates mainly stems from the fact that it used to be nearly impossible to determine when any given 505 game will be released in any given part of Europe (or other PAL regions, for that matter) - usually they came out in Italy and France first, then randomly appeared in other countries when and if someone feels like distributing them. The situation seems to be improving, though, at least from a UK perspective - new 505 games are appearing in shops, and play.com has pretty much all of them. They aren't exactly easy to find, but then mostly niche titles like this never are. Also, any Japanese name marked as "unconfirmed" is just speculation based on an announced European title.
