=History=
+
AlphaDream has created a few original properties, but most of their games have been ''[[Portal: Mario Brothers|Mario & Luigi]]'' games or Hamtaro games. They are known for creating the ''Mario & Luigi'' RPG subseries and developing all of its games.

The company was spun off from AlphaStar, which was a staffing agency that originally specialized in construction work. [[Chihiro Fujioka]] joined AlphaStar in 1999 to lead a new video game division, and he spun it off into its own company with Tetsuo Mizuno in the following year. The spin-off company was initially called AlphaStar Software until it was renamed AlphaDream several months later. Their staff consisted of several former Square-Enix members, and the name AlphaDream was apparently chosen as a play on Square's big ''Final Fantasy'' series, as the name could mean "first dream".

AlphaDream shut down in 2019 after declaring bankruptcy. They said it was due to a mix of poor revenue and high development costs against being unable to keep up with growing debt. Their last ''Mario & Luigi'' game, a remake of the third game ''Bowser's Inside Story'', had come out for the 3DS earlier that year and went down as one of the worst-selling ''Mario'' titles of all time. The last-known game to be released with their involvement was ''Mario & Luigi at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020'', a Sega came for which they did additional work.
