Square-Enix and one of America's largest wireless networks, Verizon, announced today a joint venture to provide an array of cellular phone games for those members of the latter's Get It Now service.
The first game, Brave Shot, is a full-color and vertically-scrolling shoot-'em-up along the lines of such classics of Gradius or Raiden. The release of Brave Shot also marks a milestone, as Square-Enix has released this software in the United States first, before being made readily available in Japan.
The game can be picked up by Get It Now customers for either $1.99 per month, or a single $4.99 payment for unlimited use. More information on the service can be found here, while more general information on Brave Shot and other Square-Enix mobile gaming content can be found at Square-Enix's official site.
Special thanks to our member eestlinc for the lead.
