Namco’s Jon Kromrey Sees Longevity, Acquisitions For New iPhone Group

General News

Summary

Pac-Man and Tekken publisher Namco confirmed with us that *Apple* vet Jonathan Kromrey would be heading up its new iPhone-centric games division, but didn’t reveal many details about his new role. So when will Tekken fans like me see an iPhone app — or are their specific kinds of games that lend themselves to cross-platform development? I can’t say that we’re specifically launching the same thing, but creating a platform for other developers that want to stay independent is something that we’re very interested in doing as well. Companies like MobilityWare say they’re clearing $10,000 in monthly ad revenue from their iPhone games. We’re trying to launch games with feature sets that take full advantage of the capabilities of each Apple device.
