SINA China uses Nokia's SNAP Mobile for connected mobile games

Nokia announced at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) China in Shanghai that SINA Corporation, a leading online media company and value-added information service provider for China and for global Chinese communities, has launched five connected mobile games powered by Nokia’s SNAP Mobile. Consumers in China can try out the new games, including 3D Pool Hall, Jellypop, Sudoku, and upgraded versions of Link Up and Stone Park, at http://mogame.sina.com.cn.

As part of the launch, consumers can download the games and play them twice offline for free. To continue playing and access multiplayer features, consumers can buy a subscription for one RMB for 24 hours of unlimited play, either online or offline.

“SINA found SNAP Mobile to be the optimal platform to build connected mobile games on. The platform provides a basis to develop games that are usable by the vast majority of mobile devices in China”, saidÂ Terry Tian, Network Business Dept Director, SINA.

“Working with SINA has really put the games powered by SNAP Mobile to the test.Â With over 500 million daily page views on SINA’s site, the traffic is monumental,” said Antoine Doumenc, head of SNAP Mobile.
