在上周末刚落幕的2010年东京电玩展（Tokyo Game Show，简称TGS，亚洲最大的游戏展览会）中，不但全球重量级的游戏开发公司成为万众瞩目的焦点，手机游戏也开始成为本届TGS的重大亮点。

在手机游戏展区中，不但苹果公司的iPod和iPad游戏精彩亮相，谷歌的Android游戏也不相让，与其同台争艳。手机游戏展台的闪亮登场表明，日本电子游戏产业格局正发生变化。有人也许认为这预示着电子游戏日渐式微，将受到手机游戏的冲击；也有人则认为这是电子游戏产业的新生而非衰退，因为这种迹象只能说明游戏平台正在不断扩张，游戏产业正在迎接新挑战。

手机游戏即通过手机下载购买应用的一种游戏类型，比如说苹果iPhone和iPad用户，就可以从该公司专门提供的苹果应用商店下载游戏应用。许多日本年轻电子游戏设计师和开发商不顾风险，正向同样年轻的手机游戏新大陆大举进军。

一些小型的游戏公司也正摩拳擦掌，跃跃欲试，试图在手机游戏领域放手一搏，因为手机游戏用户基数实在庞大，而且这一数字今后仍将不断增长。另外，还有些自主创业者也将目光瞄准了这一领域，希望争夺一些被传统大型游戏公司忽略的市场真空地带。

一句话，从本届TGS可以看出，手机游戏市场已经成为游戏设计新人与游戏开发商的最新淘金宝地。

Tokyo Game Show 2010: Rise of Mobile Game Trends

Last weekend’s Tokyo Game Show 2010 featured a lot of new video games to the delight of gamers.  Normally, the show focuses on big name companies that develop games for the global market.  But this year, the rising trend of mobile games has earned them a spot at the TGS 2010.

The mobile area of the event showcased companies such as Apple for Ipod and Ipad games, as well Google Android Games.  In this convention, the inclusion of booths for mobile games prove that the Japanese video game industry is changing.  Others may call it the decline, but others yet, see it as a broadening of platforms and an embracing of change.

Many of Japan’s young video game designers and producers have decided to strike it on their own.  Leaving the security of their careers, they venture off into the young world of mobile gaming. 

Mobile games are game applications purchased and downloaded through cellular phones.  Users of Apple’s Iphones and Ipads, for example, can buy from the application shops that is offered by the company specifically for these gadgets.

In the same way, small companies, have also begun sprouting with the hopes of hitting the jackpot.  The market is limitless because of the millions of mobile phone owners around the world and the many more that are buying mobile phones everyday.

It has become a business option for some employees who set up their own business because they get to explore other options that the more conservative larger companies may more often than not totally ignore.  In a way, the market of mobile game applications have turned into a treasure hunt wherein young designers and businessmen, try to tap the millions in profit that their product can rake in.（source:topnewsbuzz）
