Gameloft revenues increase 11% in 2009, 122 million (mostly) digital dollars made
Yep, it says it all right there in the headline, folks. Gameloft swiftly took $122 million from consumers in 2009, roughly equating to 12 million digital copies of DSiWare Oregon Trail. Alright, alright, the digital distribution-based publishers probably sold some of its other games too, we guess – mobile games (in general) represented a whopping 94 percent of the company’s sales in 2009. And despite our voracious habit for mobile games here at Joystiq, North Americans were second place in terms of worldwide sales at 32 percent, with Europeans leading at 39 percent and the rest of the world trailing at 27 percent. Good luck catching up, rest of the world!
And yes, even amidst the global economic recession, Gameloft predicted “further growth in 2010 in terms of revenue and profitability.” The publisher also pointed out its strong position in the long term, saying it will “benefit from the rapid emergence of digitally distributed video games on mobile phones, tablets, consoles, and from major technological innovations.” You catch that tablet reference in there? Yeah, we did too. Hey, it’s 2010, right? The future. We’re in it.

Put on your rose-colored glasses for the first 3D Dot Game Heroes trailer
From Software’s homage to classic 8-bit gaming in upcoming Japanese release 3D Dot Game Heroes has been expressed in the first trailer. Sure, it absolutely reeks of the original Legend of Zelda, but in an updated, tongue-in-cheek kinda way. It certainly doesn’t hurt that, visually speaking, it’s stunning from beginning to end.
We’ve got screenshots and the gorgeous video above, but only a Japanese release date so far — how about some love for the rest of the world, eh?

Battle Tanks rolling onto PSN this month for $10
Gameloft is ready to bring that most classic of ideas to the PSN: Tanks blowing each other up. The astoundingly generic name for this iteration on the genre is Battle Tanks, which will be available sometime this month for $10. Don’t let our tone fool you, we drool like any other red-blooded gamer at the idea of tanks using assorted weaponry to destroy one another.
Death Tank, Doom Tank, Panzer Pincher, Battle Tanks will support a co-op mode for the campaign — don’t see the word “online” there — and comes with 50 “maze and paint ball-like levels.” Multiplayer supports up to four players in death match and … capture the flag? Clearly we missed the part where the name was changed to Chase Tanks. Ooh! Is the flag some sort of super weapon?
