Fuzhou Waixing Computer Science & Technology Co. Ltd. [外星电脑科技有限公司成出品 - Alien Computer Technology Co., Ltd., though now just called 外星科技 - Alien Technology] is a Chinese company known for making Famicom pirates and other electronics. Their games are notorious for their usual poor quality (bad music and poor programming). They also tend to release games under their own name, even if they are just a Chinese translation of a Japanese game (for example, Fire Emblem). Waixing is also the parent company of - or at least in close cooperation with - Subor, a reasonably prolific manufacturer of Famicom clones.[1]
As well as stand-alone Famicom games, Waixing also develops games built into various consoles - including Subor's and Macro Winners' - notably for various Wii clones such as the Zone 40 and MiWi. Some are Famicom-based (either standard Famiclone hardware, or with an enhanced colour palette) while others use 16-bit or 32-bit architecture. Some of these games were developed by Nice Code Software, but have different titles and graphics to the versions released elsewhere, and feature Waixing copyright numbers on the title screen.
ESC Co. Ltd. (Which likely stands for Extraterrestrial Software Company, as their Chinese name is Alien Technology. They used this name between 1993 and 1996)
