1，The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has issued its Recommendation of HTML5, effectively naming it the final version of the standard used to build web pages and applications.

The evolution of HTML5 has been complicated and slow, with the last HTML standard (4.0) reaching this status all the way back in 1997. A core part of the problem has been keeping up with the way the internet has grown and changed, and the new ways that people want to interact with it – through smartphones and applications, for example.

“Today we think nothing of watching video and audio natively in the browser, and nothing of running a browser on a phone,” said Tim Berners-Lee, director of W3C, in a statement. “We expect to be able to share photos, shop, read the news, and look up information anywhere, on any device. Though they remain invisible to most users, HTML5 and the Open Web Platform are driving these growing user expectations.”

In reality, locking down the spec for HTML5 will make little immediate difference to internet users, most of whom will already be using browsers that carry many of its features. But much of the progress made in web games can be attributed to HTML5, which has been dissected, championed and shot down as a viable platform for game development on this very website.

“It’s a historic moment – a world of connected devices will connect to the cloud through the W3C HTML5 open standard,” said Jean Paoli, president of Microsoft Open Technologies, in a statement.

“At Microsoft Open Technologies, we’re proud of the collaboration and leadership that came together within the W3C to build an Open Web Platform, encouraging interoperability and opening doors for the next generation of the Web, graphics and games.”（source：gamesindustry ）

2，Mobile game developer and publisher Animoca Brands has announced the launch of Magimon Adventures on iOS devices. The “gem shooting” strategy game combines elements from the card collecting and RPG genres, and allows players to collect monsters and take them into battle against increasingly challenging enemies.

Like Pokemon, Magimon Adventures begins with players choosing one of three creatures for their team. Each monster has one of five elemental affiliations: fire, water, nature, light or dark energy. Similar to a game of “rock, paper, scissors,” these elements are particularly strong against one element, while also especially weak against another. Nature, for instance, is strongest against water, but weakest against fire.

The game’s level-based battles resemble those in other puzzle battle mobile games, as users make matches with gems in order to cause their team of three monsters to attack enemies at the top of the screen (a fourth, temporary and semi-random monster is available to recruit before each battle). However, where other games offer match-three puzzle gameplay, Magimon Adventures utilizes a system that resembles a bubble shooter.（source：insidemobileapps.com ）

3，Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has resumed his full duties after having a tumor removed several months ago, according to a Reuters report. Iwata had surgery to remove the growth in his bile duct in June, forcing him to skip the Electronic Entertainment Expo on his physician’s orders.

Appearing before the press to present Nintendo’s first half earnings, Iwata said he had lost some weight, but still felt healthier overall.

In some ways, Nintendo’s financial health mirrored that of its president, as the company said it was “gathering momentum” after a rough patch for the Wii U console. For the six-month period, Nintendo posted revenues up nearly 13 percent year-over-over and net profits of ¥14.2 billion ($131.5 million), about 24 times the slim margin it posted at the same point in its last fiscal year.（source：gamesindustry ）

4，It’s not been confirmed by the US company yet, but according to Japanese publisher GungHo Online, it’s bought a majority 70 percent stake in PlayPhone.

The news comes as part of GungHo’s quarterly financials – currently only available in Japanese.

No details have been given in terms of pricing.

The advantage for GungHo Online is that it has a lot of cash from the success of Puzzle & Dragons, but this is mainly generated from Japan, while Android- focused social gaming network PlayPhone has strong relationships with the main US carriers and is expanding rapidly into emerging markets in Asia and Latin America with the likes of Claro Brazil and SingTelIt runs a white label mobile social gaming network including a curated app store that is typically plugged into the supporting carrier’s store, allowing them to generate gaming revenue from carrier billing.

In this way, GungHo will gain massive distribution for its games globally, as well perhaps enabling it to expand into wider publishing operations. （source： pocketgamer ）
