New Ngage Games

[Coldguy]

No I am not making this up.


I never really anticipated ever writing the name "N-Gage" again, but that's how unpredictable life is. Nokia's much maligned mobile gaming platform is still lurching forward in a sick parody of life, as the company has announced the addition of Konami games to the system's library. Exciting news for all seven N-Gage owners.

One of the confirmed games is Metal Gear Solida Mobile an Ideaworks3D collaboration that uses backdrops created from samples of images taken with the system's camera. Nokia states that Solida Mobile "will raise the bar with respect to graphical detail and made-for-mobile features."

Continuing this trend of unpredicability, I never expected this news to stretch over two paragraphs. It has. I bet you can't make this news achieve over two-hundred comments.

The problem is that these new N-gage games are downloadable only and I don't think they have any plans to sell physical games again. Not sure how you would "collect" a download.

Kind of like how I collect roms on a memory stick? :evil laugh:

[Trebuken]

I thought many just bought a separate memory card for each and printed a homebrew label...aren't the cards dirt cheap now???

Also there have been rumors of the N-gage being resurrected in some way...

Uhhhh... you do know he's not talking about the original n-gage right? but rather n-gage 2.0, the gaming platform for cell phones.

Am I feeding a troll or was I just trolled?!?

I suppose you could do that, but I guess I don't consider something I make to have collectible value. Owning the game would make it part of my collection I suppose.

It would have to be for the N-Gage 2.0, considering they mentioned using pictures from it's camera, and neither original N-Gage units had cameras on them.

It's all in the most recent issue of "GamesTM" magazine, from the UK, available at Barnes and Noble. Big interview with the Nokia guys discussing past failures and the big future plans for the product - which is by no means dead.
