Return to BNDCY - Bandai Co., Ltd.

This company is known for its Nintendo games, Power Rangers, and other toys. Recently it has had less than impressive performance and some people wonder if it was a one-hit wonder. Also, in January it announced it was merging with Sega (another has-been?) to better compete with other console game manufacturers (e.g. Sony and Nintendo).

I had completely ignored this company until I read a news story on the Nando Times web site about a new craze in Japan called tamagotchi. This is a new toy craze which is currently sweeping Japan and which will hit our shores some time this summer. Will it be as big a craze here? Will Bandai see its former glory? Will its ADR, BNDCY, rise to amazing heights from its current 4 1/4? It could be an interesting ride.
