G-mode announces the first release of Conceptis Fill-a-Pix puzzles for NTT DoCoMo mobile phone subscribers in Japan. Branded locally as Nurie-Puzzle, G-mode will offer the first version of this new game to customers with iMode Java enabled phones. The first release includes three Nurie-Puzzle packages; Volume 1 with five entry-level puzzles, Volume 2 with five beginner level puzzles and Volume 3 with five medium level puzzles. All puzzles will be accessible to NTT DoCoMo iMode mobile phone users from G-mode's Get!! Petit Appli website starting March 5. According to G-mode official announcement, there are at least two additional Nurie-Puzzle volumes; number 4 and 5, planned to be launched within this service. Also, according to G-mode, the monthly fee for this service will be 100 Yen for a three-package program and 200 Yen for a 6-package program. Each Nurie-Puzzle package contains 5 puzzles. By purchasing both the 100 Yen and the 200 Yen programs, each subscriber can enjoy nine different packages with 45 puzzles. All together, G-mode offers a selection of 81 different entertainment packages to NTT DoCoMo mobile phone users on their Get!! Petit Appli website. The entertainment packages include a wide range of products such as; crossword, logic and movie puzzles, card, board arcade, coin, simulation and strategy games, detective mysteries, pachinko, slot machines and many more. G-mode was established in July 2000 as the world's first mobile network game contents provider specializing in Java game software. Its establishment was a direct response to consumer demand for diverse new types of mobile contents that can convert moments of monotony into hours of fun. On January 26, 2001, taking advantage of the introduction of Java-compatible mobile phones in Japan and the evolution of mobile communications culture, G-mode launched their first two game sites for NTT DoCoMo mobile phone customers in conjunction with the release of the first Java-compatible mobile phone. The Company has grown exponentially since. The number of customers accessing G-mode services through DoCoMo's i-appli service has swelled, as new games were added one after another and services were expanded to include Internet competition games and other offerings. Mobile network gaming is as yet unknown to many members of the mobile communications society. To gain their recognition and acceptance of this brand-new entertainment medium, G-mode has joined forces with some of the world's leading contents providers in constructing allied network architecture. According to G-mode, the company plans to begin providing users in other countries with game contents in the near future - thus enabling mobile communicators around the globe to share the fun and excitement of this new addition to the mobile communications society.
