Smartphone content provider Handango and Capcom Interactive have announced a partnership to distribute Capcom's top franchise-based games, including Who Wants to be a Millionaire and Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?, to North American smartphone users.
Capcom Interactive believes that this partnership will ensure that its franchises reach the widest number of customers possible. Handango intends to launch Capcom's Who Wants to be a Millionaire mobile titles first through its service's online storefront and on-device client available for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile platforms.
Said Handango CEO Bill Stone: "At a time when smartphone sales are exploding and more and more users are downloading mobile games than ever before, Capcom's blockbuster titles offer our customers access to some of pop culture's top brands. A key part of our growth strategy is to expand our offering to include more leading-edge content for our customers. Capcom is a market leader in games for consumers of all ages and we are pleased to make their titles available through Handango."
