Cave is going to work with EA to develop more mobile phone games for the GREE platform.

Cave’s latest financial report. Cave is generally doing very well.

Revenue from MMO has shrunk, and is predicted to shrink even further. Revenue from social networks/mobile phones have raised by quite a good bit.

Imagine only covers half a page (page 11), similar to the previous financial report. Pretty much only states that Kakyoujou has been released.

Future plan as before is to focus more on mobile phone games, in particular Shirotsuku and Hokuto no Ken. Didn’t mentioned a single thing about Imagine’s future.

Index Holdings has released Shin Megami Tensei – Devil Hunter Zero on the GREE platform.

RIP SMT. It’s inevitable as you are now a walking zombie.

Anyone remember this interview with Nikawa? Previously covered by me on this post.

Last patch of 2010 for Imagine has rolled out, and Diaspora Ueno is no where in sight.

Earlier in the day, I received an e-mail from Cave which can basically be summarized as “do it or b&”.

Per Cave’s request, most of the information obtained via ToS violations have been removed, specifically the bulk of ImagineDump.

TL Note: Ringo = Apple in Japanese.

GMMonty Says:

To my knowledge, nothing in next week’s release requires the purchase of an AP item in order to fight a specific boss. We’ve deliberately chosen not to implement certain items that way in the past, even when the Japanese release required purchase to participate. (For example, the apples in Apple Hunt are given away in our Megaten, but were sold in Japan.) I don’t discount the possibility of AP items that make something easier — that is what many AP items do — but we try to leave non-spenders the existing methods of adventure and advancement.
