UK-based Moshi Monsters creator Mind Candy has announced a partnership with Japanese mobile social game network GREE to bring its hit franchise to smartphones and tablets.

Gamasutra reports that Mind Candy has agreed to create two different Moshi Monsters games for the GREE platform, which is expected to go global before the summer. These two new mobile games are slated for release in the fourth quarter of 2012--in other words, winter.

GREE has signed a number of different launch partners for its upcoming global expansion, and has even opened its own U.S.-based game studio. But GREE has the power of the Beaver now, and what's to stop that?
