Konami launches mobile games portal

It's US-only, but that doesn't stop us from checking out the playable demos

Konami launches mobile games portal
|

Konami Digital Entertainment has launched a new feature on its mobile portal that lets gamers try new games online before buying them. It's aimed at mobile gamers in the US, but Europeans can still have a go on the emulator.

Games that you can try online now include Frogger 25th Anniversary, Contra, Dance Dance Revolution, Castlevania (pictured), Frogger, Gotta Go Golf, Gradius, Silent Scope, and Track & Field.

We should stress again, not all of these games are available to buy in Europe yet, but at least the website lets us get an early look at the ones that aren't.

Each game has instructions on how to play, and a virtual mobile handset that pops up on the right-hand side of the screen, which you can control via mouse or keyboard.
