The full details won't be announced until a press conference next week in Japan: but then, the current hot couple of mobile gaming - DeNA and ngmoco - will reveal how they plan to integrate and extend their technologies.
With the goal, and the commercial muscle, to become the world's leading social gaming platform, DeNA's Mobage technology and ngmoco's Plus+ are already proven in their respective territories.
These will be combined with ngGame, a platform ngmoco has been working on during 2010, and will provide developers with the ability to rapidly author content within a web environment and publish socially integrated games globally, albeit with separate layers for Japanese and Western deployment.
Light the blue touch paper
Labelled as being a radical upgrade to the platforms the companies have been operating, it also promises to unlock the synergies inherent in their $403 million deal.
Its potential is underlined in the combined companies' goal of having 100 million monthly active users.
Or as DeNA CEO Tomoko Namba told ngmoco CEO Neil Young during the sale negotiations, the first step in building a company that will be more valuable than Nintendo.
