Camelot Software Planning

Camelot Software Planning is a Japanese video game developer established in 1990. It partnered with Nintendo to develop Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Camelot also created several games in the Mario Tennis and Mario Golf series. Prior to their relationship with Nintendo, Camelot was credited with Hot Shots Golf and games in the older Shining Force series of tactical RPGs.

Camelot was originally a sub-division of SEGA known as Sonic! Software Planning that was formed to create the Shining in the Darkness game for the Sega Mega Drive.

In 1995, Camelot officially separated from Sega but agreed to keep developing the Shining games and would not release any games for rival systems that would hurt the Shining franchise.

In late 1998, Sega began focusing their resources on the Dreamcast, leaving Camelot with their last scenario for Shining Force 3 for the Sega Saturn in jeopardy. Camelot wrapped up Shining Force III and formed a partnership with Nintendo.
