Namco Goes Social!


Yes, in fact it's true. This is a very unexpected revelation. Namco DOES do mobile, but not social.

I haven't seen it yet, myself, but it sounds cool. It makes sense - social is the new trend. Remember what I said a few posts ago; you make big bucks when you go into social gaming.

This all makes perfect sense. Ngmoco, being Namco's mobile-worker, does the Namco games for IOS, Android, and more. Presumably, Ngmoco, Namco, and Bandai will be working on this together. They will add Facebook, Twitter, and some other big social sites.

FUN FACT: Nintendo will be lagging at the tail end of social now, with pretty much NOTHING social! Funny, right? Lucky for Nintendo, they're a few years ahead of most companies in gaming standards, so they still have an advantage.

Ngmoco not only makes mobile games for Namco, they also made Pocket God for Android. Ngmoco's games are not very high quality, but they run on copying other company's games onto different systems with permission. It's kind of a new way of marketing games.

Social is not the only thing Namco is doing. They are now branching out to the new 3DS and the Wii.

Namco has now entered a new generation. More games will be coming our way!

PS: I took the pic above at the movie theatre, when I was going to watch the Smurfs movie. I thought it'd be cool. hehe...
