Mobile gamers who would like to have classic video game titles on their phones might want to check out the latest releases from Taito Corporation. The company recently announced that Chase H.Q. 3D and Elevator Action 3D are now available on select models of Sprint Nextel mobile phones (i.e. Sanyo MM- 7500, MM-8300, MM-9000, SCP-6600 Katana and SCP-8400).

Chase H.Q. first appeared on arcades back in 1988. It's an adventure racing game that features an unmarked police car and the dispatcher Nancy on their quest to hunt down criminal suspects. The upgraded mobile version of Elevator Action 3D, on the other hand, offers an FPS twist to the timeless classic.

"Chase H.Q. 3D and Elevator Action 3D offer mobile gamers the thrill of action arcade games in a conveniently smaller package. They're pocket-sized adrenaline rushes," said Taito Corporation Game Producer Keiji Fujita. Both games are available for US$ 2.99 (monthly subscription) and US$ 6.99 (unlimited use).

We just came across reports that motion-sensing specialist InvenSense has secured a second round of funding, a whopping $11 million, to develop technology for gaming and mobile handsets.

The firm has impressed investors and electronic manufacturers like Sanyo and is set to pursue market opportunities for motion sensing devices in mobile phones and in other consumer electronics. The company's gyroscopic technology is currently in use in digital cameras, camera phones, and computer mice.

Motion sensing tech for the games in your cellphone? Certainly a possibility that's worth looking forward to.

As for the gaming side of things, InvenSense better look towards Microsoft, as the other two contenders in the console wars already have motion sensing tech. It would seem a bit to rash for them to look to third parties for motion sensing this late in the game.
