Now with Nintendo supporting mobile, we might actually see SEGA vs Nintendo. Also with the Hideo news, it looks like more companies are making console games less of a priority. What do you guys think? Mobile gaming has been rising since 2006, almost a decade and it continues to grow.

We did a write up on SEGA Networks future (they have 3 animes in the works for their games and more) if you want to read it:

Oh but wait? Weren't some people proclaiming SEGA was dead? And I was about to put on my black suit, head to the cemetary and proceed to say my eulogy! :rofl:

In the sea of change currently happening in the gaming industry, SEGA is alot more malleable compared to other companies. Reducing overhead costs is a smart move. Smaller is better, allowing them to behave like a shark rather than a sluggish, directionaliss whale.

Rep given for providing the info!

Thanks~ :)

it's means they roughly gross 250(265 usd) million euros in 2015 alone!

There's so much money in mobile gaming now it's insane.

Sega was a pioneer in embracing mobile gaming. Sega Mobile began all the way back in 2002.

However, honestly, I have no idea what most of those games are that are pictured in the OP. I suspect the bulk of their success is in Japan, with only the odd hit in the West (e.g. Sonic Dash).

It'd be cool to see SEGA bring those Japanese mobile games over to the rest of the world. Same with their console and PC stuff. SEGA going all guns blazing with their full library in all of the biggest markets could rejuvenate the company and bolster fan support. Heck, I might even upgrade my phone!

Chain Chronicles (the one next to Puyo Puyo) and Dragon Coin have gotten a western release date. Sadly Chain Chronicles was published by Gumi and not SEGA (for some lame reason) and has been a success for Gumi in the west (and I find the game pretty fun but people tell me its way behind on updates).

As for the rest, yes, sadly mostly are Japanese but SEGA is planning on changing that in the near future with the newer batches of games.

Here is a look at the food from Puyo Puyo Fever Cafe that is build to promote the free app (or made with the same name at least):

Damn some Japanese girls can eat.
