Infinity Blade X for Mobage goes free in Japan, supported by virtual goods sales
6
DeNA, Japan's most successful mobile internet company, will offer a free-to-play version of Epic and ChAIR's incredibly successul iOS game, Infinity Blade. Over there it'll be called Infinity Blade X for Mobage, and promises to offer multiplayer and co-op features through DeNA's immensely popular Mobage network -- the game will be free to play and supported by the sale of virtual goods.
Infinity Blade, which is considered a "premium" title everywhere else but Japan (see: it costs more than a buck), was just recently updated with head-to-head multiplayer and survival modes. The game's latest milestone saw it surpass $10 million in sales.
Infinity Blade X for Mobage is scheduled to launch in Japan sometime this fall.

Gotta love the Japanese and their unnecessary use of subtitles.

Yeah, the game is great to play, but I'd prefer a game with worse graphics that I could play without losing half of my batter power in ten minutes.
