XS Games, LLC was a New York-based publisher of value-priced video games, operating in North America and Europe, that released titles on numerous different consoles as well as one title on the iPhone. Despite having no new releases since 2011, their web site continued to stay online and in 2018, was updated to show that they were now part of ePartners LLC and that their corporate headquarters had been moved to a residential address. [1] The web site now just displays a domain parking page. It is unclear what the company's future is.
In the 2000s, XS localized two unrelated Japanese shooter games to North America, rebranding them under the Mobile Light Force name. The first Mobile Light Force was a PlayStation version of Gunbird , while Mobile Light Force 2 was the PlayStation 2 version of Shikigami No Shiro . Both are very poorly regarded by fans of the genre, since XS removed many important features from the games (most notably all of their in-game plot).
XS also translated Shikigami No Shiro II , and released it for the PlayStation 2 under its own name, Castle Shikigami 2.
