At this year’s Brand Licensing Europe (BLE), the biggest brands will gather in Europe to showcase some of the most active properties in the global consumer product market.  

One such exhibitor is Konami Cross Media NY. As a member of Konami Group, Konami Cross Media specializes in multiplatform brand management and production, taking a 360-degree approach in managing the rights to global intellectual properties such as “Yu-Gi-Oh!,” “BOMBERMAN,” “Contra” and “Frogger.” 

 The “Yu-Gi-Oh!” brand continues entertaining and engaging young audiences globally through its TV series, feature films, consumer products, mobile games “Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links” and “Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel” as well as a trading card game.

At BLE, Konami Cross Media NY will launch the Bershka line for “Yu-Gi-Oh!” apparel while Heathside Trading will introduce its latest product line, including the “Yu-Gi-Oh!” board game.

Originally launched in 1987 for NES, “BOMBERMAN” is a globally known action video game which found its way back to gamers in 2017 as “SUPER BOMBERMAN R.” Now, the “BOMBERMAN” Brothers are set to return in the upcoming “SUPER BOMBERMAN R 2,” recently released and playable on Nintendo Switch, PlayStations 4 and 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and Steam.

Frogger”– a video game so intrinsic to the 80s zeitgeist that it even had a comedic cameo appearance in the long-running NBC series “Seinfeld!” – recently received an array of new “Frogger” consumer products in support of the property’s 40th anniversary by Konami Cross Media NY.
