Sunsoft (サンソフト) is a Japanese video game developer based in Kōnan, Aichi. It was founded on April 16, 1971, as part of the electronics company Sun Denshi Corporation. The company debuted with two arcade titles: Block Challenger and Block Perfect, both released in 1978. In the second half of the 1980's they began focusing on home console games.
Sunsoft was renowned for its technologically advanced games for the NES, as well as undertaking sub-contract developing for other companies.
