i put it on hold...good thing i stopped there yesterday and noticed it. ill post a scan when i get around to it. hopefully today.
maybe it'll turn out to be the rarest ngage game ever and ill have it! LOL

well I just called a bunch of Gamestops (5 to be exact) seems like they either didn't get any because they don't stock N-Gage games anymore or they got 1 copy. All stores that I called that got 1 copy had already sold it.

to my knowledge the gamestop i am going to is the only store in toledo that carries ngage stuff anymore, or id happily pick up extras for anyone who cared.

so I see it's still sealed. will you be opening it and playing it. I'd like to know how it plays in case I ever come across one.

hey when you were at the Gamestop did you happen to see if they had Glimerati yet. Its supposed to be out I was wondering if anyone has seen it yet.
qbertandernie
07-15-2005, 08:56 PM
did not see glimmerti, but did get some interesting info from the new store manager, who is apparently close to the ngage rep and is an ngage dork too...
she said the rep told her that a megaman compilation is on its way soon, as is the pirate game i mentioned a while back. she couldnt remember any other games he had mentioned, but said he was confident in these being released. thats encouraging at least...and she said shed check on any newer NFR games, and ask about a store display. id love to have a dual ngage store display!
though i expect you(classicb) and i(me) are the only ones keeping tabs, im still looking for the other two(or more) NFR games i need...ashen is one, ive forgotten the other.
classicb
07-15-2005, 09:12 PM
well its not just you and me I know that at least DP is as well. BTW I have an extra sealed copy of Ashen if you want to trade something.
Megaman on the N-Gage would be great but Capcom is draging its feet with the system as they still haven't released Catan yet.
The pirate game looks great its seems to be basically Advanced Wars but on the sea and Online. Should be great along with Rifts.
It seems that Nokia is fine with just trickling out a few releases to the hardcore fans untill their new smartphones come out that will allow people to download all the N-Gage games released so far. I think at this point Nokia with hype up their systems again. From what I understand of their new plan their will still be MMC card releases (although probably very limited) of the games even when the new smartphones come out. This will last untill the N-Gage 2 comes out when we will see if they give up game card type distribution all together.
Also I just found a Gamestop with Xanadu game but they won't hold it for me. "we don't really do that but I don't think it will be a problem your the first person to ask about it... its N-Gage game we don't sell many of those". Well I hope its their when I get there.

I thought I'd just throw this out there. Any of you N-Gage collectors want to help me build a N-Gage Collecting website. I already have the site http://www.ngagecollector.com I just need help with the content such as which games have NFR versions (i don't really follow that stuff) variations of console unit colors, accesories ect... Anyway if any of you are interested send me a PM and we can work something out.
I decided to do this since it has everything I like about collecting rolled into one.
-its an off beat unique system
-every release is limited
-most people hate a negative opinion of it (i love the underdogs)
-unique packaging and game cards
-i can learn foriegn languages reading the manuals
Plus I always wanted to make a website related to video gaming and collecting. This seems niche enough for me to manage. I don't know how DP does every freaking video game system.

I like it because I've always wanted a system with games small enough to eat. Somewhat off topic: Xanadu Next has the best music of any portable game I've ever played. Simply amazing.

What is wrong with people and Ngage games? Why is there next to none on eBay? Sealed ones are even harder to locate too, even on eBay! I have to really scrape eBay dry to actually get a sealed Ngage game these days, and only manage one per month at the rate it is going as people just don't list them at all.
And I must live in the very worst place on the planet. There is only two places that sell brand new Ngage games here, and that's either Comet or GameStation...
Comet have a few good titles, but want £39.99 for them (Older first release titles are around £34.99) ~ And is it any surprise that they have not sold a single game since February! (So the sales lady was teling me) Ha!
GameStation want stupid money for their new releases as well, off which they don't stock each new release (Xmen Legends II and WWE being the only two current releases they stock). Even their pre-owned Ngage games are twice the price that brand new ones cost on eBay...

I can help you a little, I don't have Not For Resale MMCs of games, but I have some Media Review versions of some titles, the labels of the MMCs are like the pic Satac posted and the covers different. I suppose every game has a NFR version.

Also, @classicb - I'm sure you've seen Glimmerati by now, but I thought I'd mention that I saw ot about a week ago at GameStop, alongside Xanadu. It looked decent on the back of the package, I wonder if it's any good?
classicb
08-04-2005, 12:29 AM
Yeah I've seen Glimerati at my Gamestop along with Xanadu but I had already ordered it online. The real trick will be finding the next four releases in a store. Catan which is supposed to come out this month isn't in the Gamestop computers. The next game they show is Rifts. That skips System Rush, Atari vol1, Hiegh Sieze and Catan which are all scheduled to come out before Rifts.

yeah N-Gage.com I've heard mixed reviews about ordering from them. They seem fine to me though. I hadn't gotten the last three releases so I took advantage of their 3 for 15% off deal with free 2 day shipping and had no problems. I'm all up to date on my n-gage untill Catan comes out.
Gizmondo? ??? I really don't what to think of it yet but I am interested in it. I always seem to be drawn to the odd ones in the bunch that have high chance of failure. I also think the smart adds are kind of interesting.

Well the only release for the N-Gage in August has been shipped according to N-Gage.com. Also the only place that you can get it right now.
Only time will tell but it is my feeling that this game will not show up in stores since when I tried to pre order it at Gamestop it didn't show up in the computer. That along with no sign of an upcoming release on the gamestop.com website make me feel that they are done with the N-Gage. I also spoted the 50% off sale thread here today that furthered my theory of them ending N-Gage sales. After EBgames had their sale they got WWE and that was it.
So if anyone sees a Catan out there let us know. I'm curious if this game finds its way to actuall B&M stores.

my gamestop said theyre dumping ngage all together(hence the 50% off sales). i figure ill get caught up with games too while theyre $10 each new. i have also placed an order for catan, high seize, rifts, one and mile high pinball. guess ill see if they show up. it came to $97 for all 5 games, shipped (if they ever do) from ngage.com.
also got three more NFRs(titles stated by GizmoGC)....still wondering if they made one for every game? anyone know an ngage rep or worker that may have this info?

ngage.com uses letstalk.com to sell their n-gage games. yes its the 15% off when you buy more than 3 games and free shipping. its directly conected to the n-gage.com site. People have given them mixed reviews but right now it seems to be the only choice and last time i used them i had no problem at all.

To be clear to others, ngage.com doesn't. The correct URL is n-gage.com.
But I know the letstalk.com site...

I've only ordered once, and I had no problems either. I must not have noticed how close to release Catan was, else I should have waited, or preordered. Now I've gotta go back in! :-)

GameStation seem to be making a very small effort to stay on top of Ngage related things...
Following their dire efforts to sell ECW and Worms at £34.99, they now have copies of Glimmerati in stock, again, at £34.99...
Luckily, I purchased my sealed one for littlle over a tenner from eBay! :-P
I just wish that there could be one dedicated seller of Ngage games on eBay (One which doesn't originate from Hong Kong)
I also make a weekly phone call to my local Comet to see if they have yet dropped their prices for the games they have, but no such luck. They seem confident that they will sell them at £39.99... @_@

I don't believe Catan is out yet...at their booth at Gencon, all they had were video screens showing the game...not a playable demo as of yet. The game looks good, looks to be a version of the wonderful board game. There were never many people at the NGage booth (I saw several of the helpers napping throughout the day), but people who stopped were being pleasantly surprised by their offerings.

Wouldn't that just technically be a silver fascia though? not really a true LE in my eyes. At the end of the day, it's still a QD, which is still inferior to the original cornish pie model...

Well for anyone interested here it is. At the end of the day I guess it is just a silver faceplate but that's what happens when you have cell phone roots. At least they made an attempt at being an LE with the tin and MMC game case. I'd like to get one since I use my QD everyday and it shows. It'd be nice to have one in good condition just for the collection.

I don't see where they are listed as available. Everything I see has them listed for September. I've also heard September 22 to be the exact release date but who know with Nokias constant delays.
I can't wait for this next batch of games I've been playing the System Rush demo and I think its looking to be a fine new racing game for the N-Gage. The Catan demo should be out within the next week too.

I guess we just have to wait and see for a US release. I called letstalk.com and it seems to be pushed back even farther into October to the 17th. Nokia is supposed to make some big anouncement on October 13th so maybe they're trying to get themselves back in US stores for the release of these upcoming games.
I hope we get US releases for these upcoming games since they looked to be some of the best N-Gage games yet.

Got a great deal this week! Pocket Kingdom and Call Of Duty, sealed, BIN for £9.99 and £8.99 respectfully. I snapped them up, and then a few hours later I noticed the seller had increased all his (What were once cheap) N-Gage games from under a tenner each to three times what they once were. Someone must have tipped him off, or he must've actually checked to see what the going prices were.
Either way, I am very happy to have snapped them up at the price I did when I did! :)

so letstalk.com runs the official N-Gage store on the N-Gage website but they are not associated with Nokia x_x
I'm starting to feel like we might not get anymore US releases since Catan and System Rush have been out for sometime now overseas. Nokia has always released their games at the same time everywhere (except Sega Rally).
This would really suck if we didn't get anymore US releases since some of the best games are yet to come.

at least the game has actually been released this time. i guess...
they had the game listed as relased before and its been psuhed back, so who knows.
i have to preorder three more games to get the 15% discount and get system rush on my list. i somehow forgot to add it last time i ordered, though catan should be coming soon if its released...

Yeah they're not associated but when I called they said, "The official Nokia distributor"

My prediction is that Rifts will be the best N-Gage game yet. It will be popular enough to see a port to the GBA.

I am one of the few soldiers that also collects for qd. I just started collecting 2 weeks ago, and I am up to 15 games. This next paycheck, I plan on getting at least 5 more, and I have a trade going on for 3 more. I will have a complete collection.
Which games are harder to find so I know what to keep an eye out for?

well I think you can still get all of the games from letstalk.com for around $15 plus another 15% off if you buy 3 or more with free shipping.
As far as in the wild I don't see many: Puzzle Bobbles or Xanadu Next. Finding N-Gage games at any store is getting harder to find.

I guess we just have to wait and see for a US release. I called letstalk.com and it seems to be pushed back even farther into October to the 17th.
Here's the weird thing... LetsTalk has been sending me daily updates to tell me the games I have on order are backordered, and occasionally the dates slip even further. But for the last couple days the estimated dates have been "00-00-0000". Uh... Is that a system problem, or a bad indication? :/

I have had several new games on order from Lets Talk for a few weeks now and never received a confirmation or updates. I also don't believe you can get a status report from their site. I know the order went in because I received a few of the older games I ordered from them recently which were part of the order.
I know I can order from the UK, but I would rather own the real deal US versions with the ESRB ratings as opposed to the European rating logo on the case.
As far as rare games, Lets Talk does not stock Virtua Tennis, but this is readily available from Gamestop. Sega Rally is Australia only and can still be purchased from a few on-line retailers down under. Only seen it once on Ebay though.

OK I'm starting to get the hint now. I don't think there will be any more US releases. Catan and System Rush have been released overseas for awhile and now Atari Masterpeice vol 1, One, and Heigh Seize have all been released at least in the UK and maybe other place overseas.
At this point I have a complete US collection but I'd hate to see it end here with so many great games on the horizon.

I don't believe it is over yet. Most of the upcoming games have been submitted to ESRB which is a good sign. But if they do get released they will be in very limited numbers, maybe even under a thousand.

games are still 24.99 at letstalk.
I am going to be stocking up on some games tomorrow (that is when I get paid).
And if they are done, or at least slowing down to the point of near completion, of making n-gage games, I am going to stock up as muchas possible before eBay sellers start selling games for 50 a pop
(this place i found here in omaha is selling new n-gage games for 5 to 7.50 a piece with the most expensive games being 12.50)
So Far, I have noticed that splinter cell: team stealth action has been a game that is a little harder to find than the others

I think like the Game.com, N-gage games are going to have a resale value below their current retail value. There may be a few exceptions to this, but probably only the stuff that comes out over the next few months which will be in relatively limited release.

other than the fact that the game.com sucked, and ngage actually has good games and fair graphics....
it wont be as main stream as most of the other systems, but i think will end up with more of a cult following than the game.com.

so have any of you guys who pre ordered the newer games recieved them yet? People over on the N-Gage board are also trying to figure out how to get games in the US and so far only one kid has recieved anything. He said he ordered System Rush and Catan from letstalk.com and recieved System Rush and a note that Catan was back ordered.

what was the word on System Rush? Is it really shipping or is the kid on the N-Gage board just making stuff up.

I am now up to 23 myself. I really want the new tony hawk, but I will probably wait for the price to drop.
I usually go out and buy 5 games a week. That means that this week is my sports games week, which will take me up to 28 after tomorrow.
As long as I can find a cheap splinter cell: stealth team action, I will be able to find many of the other games out there.
Have any of you checked ebay for catan or system rush?

system rush is on the hook for an october 31st acquisition at letstalk, to be shipped along with catan(according to the warehouse supervisor). the girl i talked to(who checked on the games) said all of those on my list with the exception of mile high pinball were to be shipped then....meaning high seize and the others mentioned below.
interesting news though, the official n-gage site has high seize, one, atari vol 1, catan and system rush listed as released, but letstalk has them all backordered. nokia has screwed up several times with posting as released when they arent, but lets hope theyve all been released and will ship on the 31st.
check it out!

they are all released in the UK. Plenty of kids from the UK are talking about these games over at the n-gage.com boards and the UK site allack.com has been shipping these games since their official release dates. I don't know what letstalk.com's delay is in getting these games.
