Zynga Sets Up Big Name Partnerships - The UpStream

The Zynga platform, officially announced last week is already building up quite a partnership catalog. In its first week of existence, Zynga has managed to rope in some pretty big-named studios, including Playdemic, Rebellion and Konami.

While no games have been officially announced, there is a lot of potential here for Konami to bring some popular games to the platform. With franchises like Dance Dance Revolution, Contra, Castlevania, Metal Gear and Silent Hill, there are a lot of popular games that would be easy to port to Zynga with a high success rate. According to Kazuhiko Uehara, senior vice president for Konami,

This new partnership accelerates Konami's continued success as a top global social games developer and underscores our commitment to provide high quality gaming experiences to the ever-growing social space. We are thrilled to partner with Zynga to bring Konami games to the heart of the gaming audience on Zynga.com and Facebook.

I am personally hoping to see some DDR-inspired, StepMania-style games hit the platform. What Konami games do you hope come to Zynga through this partnership? Tell us in the comments section.
