Japanese gamers know this one well, because there are over 6 million of them playing it on their mobile phones. It's called Dragon Collection and it's a card based battling game that Konami games development, or rather their Dracolle Studio, is fixing to bring to the United States. There is likely a distinct difference between what Japanese gamers like and what American gamers like. The producer Kenichi Kataoka has some concerns about it as he has declared this release as simply "testing the waters". Kataoka hasn't dipped into the American market as far as what those particular gamers want and expect, so Dragon Collection is going to be the catalyst for future game development, in regards to how well the new port is received. Kataoka went on making this statement about the matter:
“Although we are trying to achieve a similar or larger fanbase than we achieved in Japan… We’d also like to learn — because we are new in the U.S. market — what people are thinking and playing, and what kind of devices they are using. By learning the difference between U.S. and Japanese markets, then [we] will be able to develop another game tailored to U.S. market.”
It's a good thing Konami games development is this open minded to other countries and wants to tailor games like these to them accordingly, I have yet to actually play Dragon Collection myself, but judging from the screen shot below, it doesn't look too bad does it? Seems like a fun title as millions of Japanese gamers are digging it. Konami games development has also made a mention about an IP that everyone should know currently in production for mobile devices. Really?, wonder what that one is, hmmm.
