is a
video game series developed by
Tose (who also developed the
Game & Watch Gallery series) and published by
Nintendo. The series is the only franchise for which Tose owns the copyright, which they share with Nintendo. (As a result, Tose, which normally doesn't put their company name on their games, does so in the Starfy series.) The series began in
2002 with
Densetsu no Stafy for the
Game Boy Advance, and four sequels were released. For its first seven years,
Starfy games were not officially released outside Japan. The fifth game in the series was released as
The Legendary Starfy in North America on June 8, 2009.
