Namco Networks and G-Mode Partner to Bring G-Mode Games to the North American Mobile Market

Namco Networks, a leading publisher and developer of wireless games and network content, today announced a strategic partnership with G-Mode, one of Japan's largest mobile content providers.

Recognizing Namco's dedication to quality and strength in the U.S. mobile games industry, G-Mode selected Namco to publish G-Mode's acclaimed mobile content, which includes a vast line-up of puzzle, action and RPG games.

"With Namco Networks being a major mobile content provider in North America, offering such games as PAC-MAN® and Dig Dug®, this pairing should prove to be impressive in terms of technology, development and market expansion," said Takeshi Miyaji, President and CEO of G-Mode.

As leaders in the mobile game industry, the combined strength of these companies further meets the growing demand for casual games in the North American cell phone market.

"Partnering with G-Mode expands our already large catalog of entertaining games, meeting the ever-increasing consumer demand for casual content," said Kenji Hisatsune, President and CEO of Namco Networks. "G-Mode's games have been hugely successful in Japan, and we believe this popularity will continue in North America."
