'''Paon DP''' (株式会社パオン・ディーピー), known before as '''Paon Corporation''' and '''DP Inc.''' respectively, is a Japanese video game company that makes games for [[Nintendo]]. Paon was initially founded on January 20, 1999, and merged with DP on August 3, 2004. When [[Rare]], Ltd., a company that made games in the {{uv|Donkey Kong}} series for Nintendo until it became a subsidiary of [[Microsoft]] in 2002, left Nintendo, Nintendo used Paon to develop certain ''Donkey Kong'' games such as ''DK: King of Swing'', ''DK: Jungle Climber'' and ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''. In addition to making ''Donkey Kong'' titles, they were also one of many game developers to buy the rights to many franchises previously owned by Data East after its bankruptcy, including ''Karnov'' (who still appears on ''Fighter History'', which is owned by G-Mode), ''Atomic Runner'', ''WindJammers'', ''Kuuga'' and ''Glory of Heracles'', which would later get an installment for the Nintendo DS in 2008 published by Nintendo titled "''Glory of Heracles: Proof of the Soul''" (Released in North America as simply "''Glory of Heracles''"). They also worked on re-releasing old games for the [[Wii]] Virtual Console.
