Developed by Japan Studio, it would test your colour-matching and symbol-recognition skills, launching in 2000 to a <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210128112833\/https:\/\/www.metacritic.com\/game\/playstation-2\/fantavision\">respectable 72 on Metacritic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Japan Studio (<a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2021\/07\/japan_studio_has_officially_been_removed_from_sonys_website\">now defunct<\/a>), being first-party, meant that Sony Interactive Entertainment still held the IP rights to Fantasvision.

It&#8217;s quite a journey for a humble PS2 launch game, but perhaps not so surprising when we live in a world where <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2023\/03\/the-last-of-us-is-one-of-sonys-more-popular-pc-ports-despite-the-flaws\">Sony itself publishes games on PC<\/a>.
