N-Gage collectors thread

[classicb]

I was able to order Catan and System Rush. They should arrive at my house on Monday so will see if they're both there.

Atari Masterpeice Volume 1 is now in the shopping area at letstalk.com but every order I try and make now is cancelled??? That can't be good. I still have Rifts on back order but everything else keeps getting cancelled. Anyone else get their order cancelled?

The future does not look good.

Just order directly through the official N-Gage website. Atari Masterpieces is pretty good btw!

letstalk.com is the official N-Gage website. look at the address when you order its n-gage.letstalk.com

So you were able to get Atari Masterpeice Volume 1 !!!

you are a very lucky man indeed. They seem to sell out of games as soon as they get them.

Just thought I would post it here what I scored this week. A wall mounted N-Gage kiosk, 36 games(with the rest on the way). Also noted a sealed copy of Sega Rally

Very nice. I tried to get one of those N-Gage kiosks but they said they couldn't let me have it because Nokia is supposed to come pick them up. I'd love to pick one up. What's the secret.

I'd really like to get the free standing one.

What is the best brick-n-mortar retailer for buying N-gage stuff? I get flack whenever I ask about the N-gage in my local Gamestops.

got system rush and catan, having trouble getting hold of atari masterpieces...

any way you can link to the site you ordered it from? i cant get anyone on the phone who has the game for sale...???

SWLOVINIST: how much did you have to pay for the ngage display? that one rocks!

ive only got the stand along one they had at cingular stores...though i bet the EB games employees would give them away. i had hoped to get a big cardboard stand alone one they had at the Eb near me, but no dice...they sent it back.

this display is the one i have....$85, but i like it bunches!

[qbertandernie]

ok, after hours spent trying to order this game, i go to letstalk.com and find it for $14.95. huh. the people on the phone have no record of this game existing....etc.

ah well, order went through ok. should get it in the mail i guess.

interesting thing i just noticed, if you go to walmart.com, there are several games not listed on nokias site. alienfront, shade:wrath of angels and virtua cop are all listed as set to release in feb. 2006. i had seen virtua cop listed on gamestops website too...time will tell i guess.

So you actually received System Rush and Catan? If so can you take a pic?

[qbertandernie]

yeah, system rush and catan came last week. ill get a photo later today.

[swlovinist]

I will be working at the same Gamestop as I scored the kiosk. The people there nice, friendly, and are actually gamers. I scored the kiosk for free

[SegaAges]

I'm up to 28 n-gage games. I need to get catan and system rush, but will probably try to get some not for resale games as well.

[qbertandernie]

heres a photo of the two games i got from letstalk.com. also in the photo a few NFR games i got today as well, including Glimmerati, which im not sure i knew existed.

the new accessories have finally been listed on the n-gage.com(letstalk.com) website. They are all backordered at this moment but the fact that they even listed them makes me think they might be getting them. In a lot of ways it makes me think they will end up getting most all of the games it just might be awhile.

for me I've been looking forward to those aluminium cases and the speaker.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Now that is something that may convince me to go out and buy the new model. Maybe even a new MMC card as well! Perhaps even the silver one. I have been looking for something like this for a while for my other phone, but thi is a nice compromise. Anyone have any idea what the output on that thing is?

[dojosky]

I bought 2 official NOKIA MMC for N-Gage systems they were 64MB and 128MB ones for only $6.99 each at my local gamestop. I have checked about 5 other Gamestops they had ZILCH of those so check your local gamestops. i know its not a big deal to some of you but who knows it'd become a collectible items for the N-gage but then maybe NOT ! .

[Slimedog]

BTW, is Catan any good? I'm having a hard time getting info about it. I hear its kind of a board game. Is it similar to Battle Hunter? Culdcept? Monopoly?

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Question: What is the largest MMC that the N-Gage can Handle? I heard that the most it could handle was the 128MB (Which is what I have), but I have also heard that it can handle 256MB and maybe even 512MB as well... Is any of this true? Can it handle any more than 512MB?

I'm pretty sure zektor has a 1GB MMC but I'll let him confirm that.

I also saw over on the n-gage.com boards that Gamestation is running some holiday specials for you UK collectors.

cut and pasted from the n-gage.com board:

1) N-Gage Games - 2 for £15 (titles include):

Rayman 3
Sonic N
Tiger Woods PGA 2004
Tony Hawks
Tomb Raider


2) N-Gage QD + Sonic N / Rayman for £79.99 (Gamestations own package)

3) N-Gage QD + SSX / Splinter Cell Choas Theory for £79.99 (the original pre-bundled package)

However on November 10th (hopefully) they are going to start selling the SILVER N-GAGE QD...and heres a cool offer.

4) Silver N-GAGE QD + ONE / Pathway To Glory : Ikusa Islands / Ashpalt Urban GT 2 for £79.99 (gamestations special package)

that 4th one looks good since you were thinking about getting the silver QD

[Enixis]

The n-gage supports MMCs till 1GB. However, MMCs 512mb and above will have slower access rates for applications and games. The most ideal would be 256mb, imo.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Access rates don't bother me too much so long as the storage capacity is all there. Iwould willingly sacrifice access rate for twice the storage capacity... So long as A) The storage is cheap, and B) The ratio is somethin equal to half the access rate, double the capacity...


And yes, that fourth option does look grand, seeing as the Silver QD is what i'd be after, and seeing as I have none of those games listed.... Be a bargain at £79.99! If I'd bought them separately on eBay, it would probably cost me that much to pay for the games alone! Depends on whether or not my skanky GameStation sells these bundles or not....

I use a 512MB card in my QD. In fact I was afraid to buy a bigger one because I was scared that the slower access times would be really slow. Honestly I think 512MB is big enough, but I only have 2 N-Gage "roms" (that I own the cards for), a handfull of MP3s/videos, and about 150 GB/NES roms (again that I own the cartridges for). I still have 300MB left.

edit// I have to comment on that speaker. It would be a great idea if the QD had decent sound. MP3's no matter what bitrate sound like crap. And so do the games. Don't get me wrong, LOVE my QD, but I hope the "nextgen" N-Gage improves on the sound quality.
