About

Amazing Media Inc. developed interactive CD-ROM titles such as Space Shuttle (1994) and Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster (1997). The company is also associated with promotional releases and press kits for major Square Enix franchises, including Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XI, Mario Hoops 3 on 3, and the Kingdom Hearts series.

During the transition of the video game industry into the DVD and multimedia era, the developer's contributions shifted toward specialized production and promotional packaging for high-profile Square Enix intellectual properties. This involvement is highlighted by the creation of the Final Fantasy X [Press Kit] (2002) and the Final Fantasy XI Online [2002 Special Art Box] (2003), which served as critical marketing tools during the franchise's expansion into online gaming and sixth-generation consoles.

Additionally, the company played a role in the distribution of promotional materials for the Kingdom Hearts crossover franchise. This included the production of the Kingdom Hearts II [Not For Resale] (2000) and Kingdom Hearts 2 [Not For Resale] (2006) demonstration discs, which were utilized by retailers to showcase the action-RPG gameplay prior to launch. Similar promotional support was provided for the PlayStation Portable spin-off Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII (Promo Only - Not for Resale) (2008) and the Nintendo DS sports title Mario Hoops 3 on 3 (2006). These rare, non-retail physical releases have since become notable collector's items, representing a specific era of physical-media-driven marketing campaigns for major Japanese RPG franchises in Western markets.
