Hudson signs up 5 for OpenFeint's Free Game of the Day promo

Aurora Feint's expansion into app discovery is gathering pace, with the news that Hudson Soft has signed up five of its releases to OpenFeint's Free Game of the Day set-up.

The publisher says the games in question World RPS, Shooting Watch, Catch the Egg, Aqua Forest 2, and Haunted Pics will be pushed by OpenFeint through during June.

All of the titles already support OpenFeint's online gaming services.

"OpenFeint has great online gaming services that are important to the player experience," says the president of Hudson Soft's smartphone business division, Masato Shibata.

"However, we chose to feature our titles on OpenFeint because it has amazing social gaming and cross promotion features. This is an exciting opportunity to reach millions of engaged, connected game players."

Ready for Game Center

OpenFeint which Aurora Feint has confirmed will be fully compatible with Apple's forthcoming Game Center boasts more than 22 million users and 1,800 compatible games on the App Store.

Free Game of the Day is a move to expand the OpenFeint set-up to make it even more relevant for studios, helping provide an all-encompassing model that merges a ready-to-go online framework with end-user marketing.
