Editing Dimps (section)

==History==
In 2000, [[Takashi Nishiyama]] resigned from [[SNK]], and was soon approached with offers for employment by various [[Tokyo]]-based companies. At the same time, SNK's core development team members left the company, assuming Nishiyama had plans. Nishiyama decided to form a new company in [[Osaka]], named Sokiac, to avoid having to move his team members and their families. To better reflect its mission to create games for a variety of genres and platforms, the company later changed its name to Dimps, short for "'''Di'''gital '''M'''ulti-'''P'''latform'''s'''".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.1up.com/features/the-man-who-created-street-fighter?pager.offset=4 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160402113045/http://www.1up.com/features/the-man-who-created-street-fighter?pager.offset=4 |title=The Man Who Created ''Street Fighter'' |last=Leone |first=Matt |website=[[1Up Network|1Up.com]] |publisher=[[IGN Entertainment]] |date=December 14, 2011 |archive-date=April 2, 2016 |access-date=February 27, 2023 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The company was supported by capital from [[Sammy Corporation|Sammy]], [[Bandai]], [[Sony Computer Entertainment]], and [[Sega]].<ref name=GBASonicDimps>{{cite web |url=http://pocket.ign.com/articles/093/093601p1.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020602000331/http://pocket.ign.com/articles/093/093601p1.html |title=Game Boy: GBA ''Sonic'' Developed by Dimps |last=Harris |first=Craig |website=[[IGN]] |date=April 18, 2001 |archive-date=June 2, 2002 |access-date=February 27, 2023 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
