Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced Viva! Mall, a new Facebook game that will give consumers an opportunity to build their own shopping mall using their unique creative taste and style. Players of the new sim-focused game will have the ability to hire their Facebook friends, decorate and manage their mall to make sure that it is generating revenue and the highest shopper interaction.
"Konami has always been at the forefront of interactive entertainment," said Shinji Hirano, President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
