By the year 2000 , Jaleco, still active in the development of arcade and console video games, hadn't produced any hit title in years and was in a struggling state. Its American division Jaleco USA had already left the arcade industry in 1993 . Then on November 1 , 2000 , Jaleco was acquired by Hong-Kong company PCCW . Jaleco was renamed PCCW Japan, thus giving the PCCW Group a foothold in Japan . PCCW heavily restructured the company, shutting down Jaleco's arcade division and other non-profitable departments in order to focus on video game for consoles of the Sixth Generation Era . PCCW Japan itself acquired on April 2001 the '''VR-1 Group''' which included VR-1 Entertainment , a U.S developer of Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game s, in order to bring a more global focus to its current and future Software endeavors. On October 2002 , PCCW Japan merged '''Jaleco USA''' and '''VR-1 Entertainment''' to form '''Jaleco Entertainment''', its new U.S division that would be based in Buffalo , New York instead of Illinois . PCCW Japan reverted its name back to '''Jaleco''' in 2004 . Jaleco is today a highly active publisher of video games for Microsoft 's Xbox , PC games, and Sony 's PlayStation 2 . It holds a top 10 publisher slot moving into 2004 . Jaleco is the official subsdiairy of the whole PCCW Group in Japan which includes many activities unrelated to videogaming such as Music , Web Application and Mobile Phone Content . Jaleco's Japanese video game division is a mixture of employees from the former Jaleco and the VR-1 Group. VIDEO GAMES
