Japanese social mobile games giant DeNA has launched its Mobage platform globally for Android, working with its ngmoco subsidiary to roll the service out to English-speaking countries.

Mobage is now available to download from Android Market, and DeNA says that more than 100 games are being developed for it. The service is also being launched in China, with other countries to follow.

"The opportunity in front of us is to build Mobage into the definitive destination for games and entertainment across territories and mobile operating systems," says ngmoco boss Neil Young.
