History

Compile Heart was created in 2006 as a part of Idea Factory. In 2010, the company made a deal with D4 Enterprise, which holds most of the rights to Compile's properties, to make new video games using ideas from Compile's old game series. This agreement does not include the Puyo Puyo series, which D4 Enterprise does not own. Sega still holds the rights to the Puyo Puyo series.

Games

CH Selection (Compile Heart Selection) is similar to "The Best" (JP) or "Greatest Hits" (US). It is used specifically for Compile Heart's games.
