that targets a global audience. MiniNation started out with four games
in English, all of which are based on popular titles found on DeNA’s
Japanese social gaming portal, Mobage-town (which boasts 18M members).
The avatar system is already in place, and according to DeNA, the first
four games (Bandit Nation, Mini Solitaire, Mini BalloonHunt and Mini
NumberPlace) are just the beginning. FULL ARTICLE @ TECH CRUNCH
