G-Mode Corporation (株式会社ジー・モード, Kabushikigaisha Jī Mōdo) is a Japanese company that specializes in games for Java-compatible mobile phones. The company also licenses content for mobile telecommunications operators, as well as being involved in the original equipment manufacturing of mobile phone games.
History
G-Mode Co., Ltd was founded in July 2000 and merged in March 2014 with ONE-UP Co., Ltd. (a corporation established in 2006) which became G-Mode Corporation. G-Mode is headquartered in Tokyo.
G-Mode saw the potential in mobile gaming and managed to obtain the rights to Tetris in Japan in 2001, and currently uses this license to remain a major player in the mobile entertainment industry in Japan. In 2004, G-Mode acquired the back catalogue of Data East Corporation. In 2005, GungHo Online Entertainment invested in the company. They currently license out these Data East titles on the Wii Virtual Console, Gametap, and Mobile Platform. G-Mode released an official Data East website in December 2008. In 2010 is revealed that the company will publish several Data East titles on the Zeebo console in Brazil and Mexico. On March 1, 2012, after several years of Wii Virtual Console support, G-Mode delisted all of its PC Engine/TurboGrafix-16 games from the service while continuing with the ones originally released on Nintendo consoles.
In April 2020, G-Mode announced that several old mobile games from the company made in the 2000s will be re-released on Nintendo Switch through the G-MODE Archives label. Following the success of such re-releases, G-Mode announced G-MODE Archives+, which consists of re-releases of third-party mobile games, starting with Detective Ryosuke Akikawa Case Tan Vol.1 "Masked Illusion Murder Case" by Genki. The G-MODE Archives series debuted on Steam in 2021.
Business
G-Mode Co. Ltd. reported earnings results for the fiscal year 2006. For the fiscal year, the company reported consolidated net profit of $440,700 a $1.7 million consolidated recurring profit and a $31.1 million consolidated revenue. The number of subscribers to official websites for NTT DoCoMo handsets rose to 1.48 million at the end of October 2006, up 34% from the end of March 2006, which mainly contributed to the upward revision. The company revised its earnings guidance for the fiscal year 2007. For the period, the company revises consolidated net profit to $594,000 from a previous forecast of a $169,500 consolidated net loss. Consolidated recurring profit was revised up to $2.8 million from $1.7 million. The consolidated sales revenue was revised up as well to $41.1 million from $39.8 million.
Data East games rightsholder
G-Mode owns the rights to more than 100 Data East titles. The following list mostly includes video games mentioned either on G-Mode's original Data East webpage in 2009 or the current version launched in 2017. In some instances, a game can be absent in both of G-Mode's Data East webpages but still be mentioned here if there's a third-party source proving the company's ownership for it (in such cases the reference will be attached next to the title). Although G-Mode published in 2007 a remake of Data East's Super Famicom title Heracles no Eikō III: Kamigami no Chinmoku for mobile phones, this title is not included in the following list because that license is owned by Paon Corporation.
