Finnish mobile games attack the Japanese market, even in LINE GAME

Recently, I see many articles of Finnish game & IT industries in the Japanese Web media. Is it influence of SoftBank and Supercell? Anyway, the attention degree to Finland rises in the Japanese Tech industry. Possibly LINE aimed at this timing. They released action game "LINE Dongurissu" in their mobile game platform LINE GAME.

Well, this is This is LINE version of "Noble Nutlings" which Finnish startup Boomlagoon developed. LINE released only Japanese and Korean mobile games until now. This is the first time that they release a European game. What does Dongurissu mean? It's a Japanese coined word. "Donguri" means an acorn and "Risu" means a squirrel in Japanese.

What is different from an original? At first, all the texts are Japanese. They are not literal translations, and expressed with slang only by Japanese. they are natural and comical.

Furthermore, there are a lot of charging items and the play number of times per once is limited by five times. Okay, it's charging! The Japanese is used to charging from mobile. So, this is an effective method.
They are going to release the LINE ticker in future. This is one of the popular sources of LINE.

Son brothers conquered the Finnish and Japanese mobile game industry

Many articles had been already written, Japanese mobile company SoftBank  and game company GungHo purchased Finnish mobile game company Supercell. SoftBank became the mobile game company which made money world's most. Does Japanese money flow into Finland? Does Finnish money flow into Japan? and does this purchase change Supercell? Nobody yet understands them. However, there is an important point. SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son and GungHo chairperson Taizo Son are brothers. In other words the Son brothers would conquer Finnish and Japanese mobile game industry. What a powerful brothers!

By the way, Supercell's mobile agriculture game Hay Day started Japanese support at once.

I don't know whether it is accidental, GungHo's subsidiary Acquire added Finnish character in their new game for PS3/VS Vita "AKIBA 'S TRIP2". Her name is Kati Räikkönen. She is foreign students and works part-time at a maid cafe in Akihabara.



These were announced on the same day.

When we look back on past business style of SoftBank and GungHo, some kind of cross-collaborations are carried out from now on.

Let's beat HENTAI in a mobile game!---"Oshioki Punch Girl"

Needless to say, Japan is HENTAI big country. Various HENTAI are excited somewhere in Japan everyday. Japanese startup e-DragonPower released a game for iOS where a high school girl hit HENTAI. Japanese startup e-DragonPower released a game for iOS that a high school girl beat HENTAI. The title is "Oshioki Punch Girl". "Oshioki" means "Punishment" in Japanese.

Oshioki Punch Girl is a full 3D kick boxing action game. The player operates Momiji Akiyama of the high school girl and fights against various HENTAI.

Surely, HENTAI are weird. However, 3D graphic is a high quality and motion is smooth. This is fun as an action game commonly. It is high score when players aim at a vital part of HENATI(In most cases, it is a crotch). Furthermore, players change a fashion of Momiji Akiyama and can enjoy the coordinates. It is the popular element which is deep-rooted in Japan.

By the way, this is the FIRST game apps of e-DragonPower. Cool!
