Ngmoco has announced that they will be shutting down four of their games permanently. While three of these games are not on Android at all, one of them happens to be on Google Play and has been for quite some time and has between 500,000 and 1 million downloads. That means there is a decent amount of people on Android who play We Rule that will soon lose the realms they have created.

DeNA has released a new game onto their Mobage platform called D.O.T. Defender of Texel or just D.O.T. for short. This isn’t the standard type of game though that you might be thinking it will be since it’s on the Mobage social gaming platform. This is, instead, an 8-bit retro style RPG filled with all the retro visuals you can handle.
Just like they did with Halloween this year, DeNA / Mobage are celebrating this holiday season with a variety of in-game events and special promotions to help put you in the mood. While these special events and promotions are not happening in every single one of their games, the ones that are holding the events are some of their most popular titles.
A couple of weeks ago we talked about a rather unique looking Final Fantasy game that would be coming to Android but instead of Square Enix publishing it, they teamed up with DeNA instead who then published it on their Mobage social gaming platform. The game we are talking about is Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade and you will either love it or hate it.
Back in November we talked about an unnamed FPS game that made an appearance in the financial earning for Ngmoco / DeNA as an upcoming game for Android and iOS. Well now Ngmoco has let the word out that this FPS game is called The Drowning and that it is coming with some pretty high-end graphics for mobile gamers.
It looks like the release of Final Fantasy games on Android won’t be slowing down anytime soon. Last week we reported on GREE and Square Enix teaming up to bring a Final Fantasy game to Android and now it appears that DeNA and Square Enix are also teaming up to bring a Final Fantasy title to Android called Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade.
We’ve seen this happen before with really popular mobile game developers such as Funzio which GREE paid $210 million for after their Crime City game spent months on the top of the Top Grossing games chart on Google Play. Now, DeNA is getting into the action but instead of buying the company outright, they have decided to buy into Cygames, developers of the widely popular action trading card game Rage of Bahamut, taking a 20% stake in the company for 7.4 billion Yen which converts to approximately $92 million USD.
You have to love rumors or vague statements which could or could not be true. Usually in the mobile world, this involve photos by Mr. Blurrycam half the time, half of which are usually faked anyways. In the gaming world, this usually involve reading between the lines of what some people say, doing some hunting of your own, and trying to piece together what is truth and what is not. Sometimes it ends up being wrong but the majority of the time, the truth is usually found out.
There seems to be a lot of announcements coming this week from game development companies and publisher over future gaming line-ups and releases heading our way soon. Today is no exception to that as DeNA/ngmoco has announced 10 new partners have come on board to release new games onto their social gaming platform called Mobage for Android and iOS.
Another Marvel Universe based game is on the horizon and this time it will be coming in the form of a TCG called Marvel: War of Heroes.

First, we know that this TCG will be coming integrated with DeNA’s social gaming platform (Mobage) which means this will also be a free-to-play title.
