XS Games, LLC was a New York City -based publisher of value-priced video games, operating in North America and Europe, that released titles on numerous different consoles as well as one title on the iPhone. The company is still listed as operating and recently,[when?] as a division of ePartners LLC, but has not released any new titles since 2011. In addition, their corporate headquarters is now listed as a residential address and their web site has displayed a basic coming soon page since 2022.[1][2] It is unclear what the company's future is.
In the 2000s, XS localized two unrelated Japanese shooter games to North America, rebranding them under the Mobile Light Force name. The first Mobile Light Force was a PlayStation version of Gunbird, while Mobile Light Force 2 was the PlayStation 2 version of Shikigami No Shiro. Both are very poorly regarded by fans of the genre, since XS removed many important features from the games (most notably all of their in-game plot).
XS also translated Shikigami No Shiro II, and released it for the PlayStation 2 under its own name, Castle Shikigami 2.
