Digimon is a series of role-playing video games and other genres (such as fighting, action and card battling) published by Bandai Namco Entertainment (formerly Bandai). Most of the games have been developed by Namco Bandai Games, with other companies such as Griptonite Games and Dimps also developing some titles. The games have been released for a variety of home and handheld game consoles such as the PlayStation, the Nintendo DS and Bandai's own WonderSwan. The series started in 1999 with the game Digimon World for the PlayStation. The most recently released games are 2015's Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth and 2016's Digimon World: Next Order, which are both for the PlayStation Vita.
The series revolves around the eponymous Digimon creatures and their human "Tamers", who both serve as player and non-player characters depending on the game. Gameplay focuses on battles between Digimon, with Tamers present or otherwise. The creatures can "Digivolve" back and forth between several evolutionary forms. Due to similar features and mechanics, Digimon has experienced a rivalry with the Pokémon series. However, it has maintained a dedicated fanbase.
