Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. is proud to announce that social game "Professional Baseball Dream Nine" was awarded the "mixi Game User Grand Prize (Smartphones)" at the 1^st mixi Game Awards hosted by mixi, Inc.

The 1^st mixi Game Awards was held to celebrate particularly outstanding games nominated in either the feature phone and smartphone categories, and the "mixi Game User Grand Prize" is an award given to the game that received the highest number of user votes.

"Professional Baseball Dream Nine" is a social game licensed by Nippon Professional Baseball that lets users collect player cards to build their very own dream team and then go head-to-head against online rivals. Its tremendous lineup of cards includes registered NPB players as they are now and were in previous years, plus managers and even mascots. This already formidable roster is constantly under improvement with new cards that reflect players' monthly performance.

The game has attracted both gamers and baseball fans due to the way it combines card collecting & team upgrading elements with events that mirror the progress of the real professional baseball pennant race. The reception of this prestigious award is thanks to their continuing support.

Konami will continue to provide fun, high-quality social game content to its ever-growing consumer base.
