"Famista 64" was Namco's first video game on a Nintendo platform since 1994, following several long arguments between the two companies since the late 1980s that ended with Namco preferring Sony and their console, the PlayStation, becoming one of the system's dominant third-party developers.It is also one of the few titles published by the company for the Nintendo 64, alongside "Namco Museum 64" and a port of "Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness", and the only one to be released in Japan.
