- Ultra Software Corporation was a spinoff company created in 1988 as a subsidiary of Konami of America, in an effort to get around Nintendo of America's strict licensing rules for the North American Konami release games for Nintendo consoles. One of these rules was that a third-party company could only publish up to five games per year for the Nintendo Entertainment System in the US. This was hardly convenient for Konami, which had begun releasing more than ten games a year for both the Family Computer and Family Computer Disk System in Japan. With a greater library than they were allowed to localize, Konami formed the Ultra Games brand to extend their annual library to ten games a year. Ultra's first game was the NES version of Metal Gear. At first, Ultra was dedicated to localizing Konami's pre-existing software from Japan, but later they began publishing works from other companies as well. Some of Konami's most notable games released under the Ultra label include Operation C (an original Game Boy installment of the Contra series), Snake's Revenge (a sequel to the original Metal Gear) and the first few Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games for the NES and Game Boy. After the North American launch of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo became less strict on the number of games third-parties could publish. As a result, Ultra Games began losing its purpose and Konami shortly dropped the label in 1992. In Europe, Konami established the Palcom Software Limited subsidiary for similar purposes. Their library was similar to Ultra's, but the company also published games that were not released in America, notably Parodius and Pop'n Twinbee.
- Ultra Software Corporation oli Konamin vuonna 1988 luoma sivuyhtiö, jonka tarkoituksena oli Nintendon tiukkojen pelijulkaisusääntöjen kiertäminen. Yksi säännöistä oli, että kolmannen osapuolen tuottaja ei saisi tehdä enempää kuin viisi peliä vuodessa NES:lle Yhdysvalloissa. Tämä oli hankalaa Konamille, joka oli julkaissut enemmän kuin 10 peliä vuodessa sekä Famicomille että Super Famicomille Japanissa. Niinpä Konami loi Ultra Gamesin pitääkseen vuotuisen pelitarjontansa samalla tasolla. Ultran ensimmäiset kaksi NES-peliä olivat Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (perustui tv-sarjaan) ja Metal Gear . Aluksi Ultra Games keskittyi Konamin jo Japanissa julkaistuihin peleihin, mutta alkoi myöhemmin myös julkaista pelejä muilta valmistajilta. Joitakin Konamin tunnetuimpia pelejä julkaistiin Ultra Gamesin nimen alla, kuten Operation C sekä Snake's Revenge (puolijatko-osa Metal Gearille) ja lukuisia Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -pelejä NES:lle sekä Game Boylle. Super Nintendo Entertainment Systemin Yhdysvaltojen julkaisun jälkeen Nintendo höllensi tiukkoja julkaisusääntöjään. Seurauksena Ultra Games alkoi menettää merkitystään ja Konami lopettikin sen toiminnan vuonna 1992. Euroopassa Konami perusti Palcom Software Limited -nimisen sisaryrityksen samanlaisiin toimitarkoituksiin. Yrityksen pelitarjonta oli samankaltainen kuin Ultralla, mutta se julkaisi myös pelejä joita ei ollut julkaistu Yhdysvalloissa, kuten Parodius ja Pop n' Twinbee.

- Ultra Software Corporation — дочерняя компания, созданная в 1988 году компанией Konami of America в целях обхода лицензионных ограничений, установленных компанией Nintendo of America. В частности, сторонним компаниям-разработчикам позволялось выпускать в США не более пяти игр в год для игровой консоли Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Это не устраивало Konami, на тот момент начавшую выпускать в Японии более десяти игр в год для Famicom и Famicom Disk System и готовую к выпуску бо́льшего количества локализаций, чем позволяли ограничения. Таким образом был создан бренд Ultra Games, позволивший компании удвоить количество выпускаемых за год игр. Первой выпущенной новой компанией игрой стала версия игры Metal Gear для NES. Изначально компания занималась только локализацией игр, ранее выпущенных компанией Konami в Японии, но впоследствии также стала издавать игры других компанией. Наиболее заметные игры Konami, выпущенные Ultra Games, включают Operation C, Snake's Revenge (свободное продолжение Metal Gear) и несколько первых игр Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles для NES и Game Boy. После запуска в Северной Америке игровой консоли Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo ослабила лицензионные ограничения для сторонних разработчиков. В 1992 году Ultra Games была закрыта за отсутствием необходимости в ней. Аналогичная дочерняя компания, Palcom Software Limited, была создана и в Европе. Библиотека издаваемых ей игр была сходна с библиотекой Ultra Games, но компания также издавала игры, не выходившие в США — в частности, Parodius и Pop'n Twinbee.
