'''Sega Sports R&D''' (also known as Sega Sports Japan) is the group responsible for creating the ''[[Let's Make a Soccer Team!|Let's Make a]]'' series, [[90 Minutes]], [[Sega Worldwide Soccer]] series, [[Virtua Pro Football]], and the ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' series. |

==History== |
|||
===AM6 (1994-1998)=== |
|||
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:Team Andromeda Presents.jpg|thumb|left|The "Team Andromeda Presents" logo from Panzer Dragoon Saga's opening teaser.]] -->Initially founded in mid-1994 as part of Consumer Software R&D Dept. 1, [[Team Andromeda]] became a separate internal development team during the [[Sega Saturn]]'s lifespan. The group produced three Panzer Dragoon titles and, after the release of its final game ''[[Panzer Dragoon Saga]]'' in 1998, was then dissolved. Different teams of the same division were responsible for the ''[[Let's Make a Soccer Team!|Let's Make a]]'' series, which are made till today, and the [[Sega Worldwide Soccer]] series. |
|||
After the restructuring, many of the group's members joined Sega's [[Smilebit]] and [[United Game Artists]] development teams. Former Team Andromeda staff have also developed video games at other studios, including [[Polyphony Digital]], [[Artoon]], [[feelplus]] and [[Land Ho]]. |
|||
===Smilebit (1998-2004)=== |
|||
Key members of Team Andromeda were folded into the new second-party Sega studio Smilebit Corp., which crafted such titles as ''[[Jet Set Radio]]'', ''[[Panzer Dragoon Orta]]'' and ''[[GunValkyrie]]''. On July 1, 2004, Sega's subsidiaries, [[Sega Wow#Wow Entertainment|Wow Entertainment]], [[Amusement Vision]], [[Sega AM3#History|Hitmaker]], [[Smilebit]], [[Sega AM3#Sega Rosso|Sega Rosso]], and [[Sonic Team#United Game Artists|United Game Artists]] reintegrated into Sega following the merge between Sega and Sammy in 2005, and a [[holding company]], ([[Sega Sammy Holdings]]), was formed. The subsidiaries ceased to exist and were renamed. |
