Mobage Town launched World-wide English Service MobaMingle

Posted on September 19th, 2008 by Akky Akimoto

DeNA Global, 100% subsidiary of DeNA, who runs Mobage Town, the Japan's biggest mobile social networking site with casual games, started its global service MobaMingle .

DeNA Global is located in California, USA, but the MobaMingle can be accessed from 70 countries, including UK, France, Germany on cellular phone.

Access from Japan is blocked so we cannot see how it is. CNET Japan took some screenshots by finding missed block setting, but now it is mended (inaccessible).

If you can use it at http://mbmgl.com/ from your cellphone, please let us know how it is, and if you think that mobile social gaming network would be welcomed in your country.

    ! That is definitely a huge potential (compared to internet broadband at least). In this era of globalization, may be cloning a successful foreign business model is worth an effort? UPDATE: Mobage Town has justlaunchedits global service MobaMingle, in English. But targeting 70 countries? That would be tough in terms of localization and marketing. However, it is currently accepting registration from only 5 countries, namely US, UK, France, Germany and India.
