It’s been two months since the initial roll-out of Mochi Coins, and we’ve been hard at work improving Mochi Coins to make it the most comprehensive Flash games micro-transactions platform out there. Thanks to the interest and feedback from the developer community, we’re always adding more payment providers, features and tools in our system. We’ve launched over 45 games in the last two months, and today are announcing partnerships with Zong and Rixty.
On the community side, we’ve launched the first in our series of best practices and a series of developer chats with Nitrome, Ninja Kiwi and Sean Cooper. These developers have shared their thoughts and advice across a broad range of topics including game design, website creation, micro-transactions and iPhone ports. We’ve also had Ninja Kiwi share real numbers on their game “SAS: Zombie Assault 2″ which generated more than $20,000 in transaction revenue in its first two months. In addition to all of this, today we’ve announced new payment providers (with more to come in the future) as well as some amazing Mochi Coins games.
New Payment Methods – Rixty and Zong
This month, we’ve also expanded Mochi Coins consumer payment options through partnerships with Rixty and Zong. Rixty is a leading alternative online payment system designed for the youth market, that enables consumers using Coinstar systems and convenience stores to cash in their cash and change for Mochi Coins. Zong is the leading mobile payment service enabling consumers to purchase through their mobile phone. Opening up these additional payment options makes it easier for gamers around the world to spend money to access great content in Mochi Coins games.
Highlights of New Mochi Coins Games
This month, we’ve released several Mochi Coins games and wanted to highlight two in particular: Sean Cooper’s Shadez 2 and “Street Fighter II: Champion Edition”
Shadez 2
Shadez 2 is currently in beta release as the follow up to Shadez: The Black Operations. More control, more explosions, more fun… take on this unknown force of killing machines with Helicopters, Troops, Tanks and Airstrikes. Construct a base to keep reinforcements coming.
Street Fighter II – Champion Edition
Street Fighter II – Champion Edition. This is an official (approved by Capcom and Gametap) port of the classic game. Pick one of the 12 characters available in this Champion Edition: Ryu, Ken, Honda, Chun-li, Blanka, Guile, Zangief, Dhalsim, Balrog, Vega, Sagat and M.Bison. After every third match you will participate in a “bonus game” including car-breaking, barrel breaking and drum-breaking for additional points.
Got Feedback?
As we continue to build this out, thanks for all your support and please feel free to send us a note or comment below, we’re listening! We’d love to hear your thoughts – feedback@mochimedia.com.
I think the street fighter port isn’t a good idea : a game like this is virtually unplayable with a keyboard.
The worst part is that it’ll most likely make lots of money anyway because everyone will try it “because it’s street fighter duh”, so I guess it’s good for mochi.
Shadez is much more interesting IMO.
Incredible! I can’t believe I’m actually able to play SF2 online. I think it’s a great idea. It looks great.
There should be more ports like this. I would love to see Super Mario Kart – that’s definitely possible with Flash.
Geez…. How can we compete with CAPCOM?…
@Indie Dev: we can’t, but players wants to play lots of great games, they will not play SFII all the time for the rest of their life, in some point the player will look for more games and that games can be yours.
We don’t need to compete against big publishers, we can coexist with them.
