N-Gage collectors thread

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I've given you this link before but its the only place I know that sells all of the new N-Gage games in the UK besides the Gamestations http://ngage.allack.co.uk/

and I don't know much about pre-release press kits

also I thought NCAA football was a US only release. If you want that game I could easily find it for $6.99 plus whatever shipping is to the UK.

Can't buy from online stores as I don't have a credit / debit card. See the problem? Therefore i've been relying on eBay so far, and has served me well having given me nearly 40 titles. I am just bored of waiting for the remainder to appear, so thought maybe someone had some, or knew of someone who would list some on eBay or sell privately with payment via PayPal...

As far as I know, NCAA was released in the UK. It's listed on the UK release list (On the official site) and all... I'm afraid my collection is UK releases only though (With Sega Rally being the exception)


System Rush I have a pre-release version of, and I gave it a quick go, and was not impressed. It is very lo-tech, and not the usual quality like some other N-Gage games. I at least expected something a little less blurrier, and a game where it is easy to control ~ I found myself constantly crashing into walls as you just cannot turn.

High Seize I have been waiting to give a go ~ Is it similar to the PlayStation game "Overboard"?

And what about Rifts, Catan, and ONE? What are those games all about?

I put mine on eBay, and they sold to a Japanese collector.

I just got home today and I missed another package from letstalk which should have Atari Masterpiece Vol 1, Asphalt 2 and X-men Legends 2.

UPS just came and that's exactly what I got. My X-Men Legends 2 also has the barcode blacked out. Its the only one of all the new games I've gotten.

the next releases should be Mile High Pinball and the new Pathway to Glory.

IGN has some new reviews for System Rush and One. The closing coments for One seem to be true for most all of these late release N-Gage games

One is another good game for the N-Gage that I'm afraid few will play. It's sad, because at this point, Nokia is just being punished for early mistakes and so few people want to give the N-Gage a chance anymore. They're missing out on games like this, which have solid depth and play value -- I enjoyed One more than some PSP games. If you have the system, seriously consider seeking out a copy of One. It's further proof that the N-Gage, like the PS2 or Xbox, got better with age.

I don't know if any of you have seen this but Game_Hunter who post quite a bit on the N-Gage board made this great FAQ for the N-Gage and all the games up to Glimmerati. He list the games in order that they were released too if anyone was interested in that. Great stuff so make sure you check it out.

asphalt 2 came?
man, back to the phones and hours of hassle with lets talk.

ill check out that FAQ...looks great.

anyone find any newer release NFR games? ive gotten glimmerati, and someone said they had xanadu next, but im wondering if there are any stores still carrying ngage, and if theyre still making NFRs for the newer releases?

[Slipdeath]

thats weird, n-gage.com doesn't have xmen legends 2 listed as released all though many of us already have a copy. maybe this explains the barcode?

[qbertandernie]

dont know. the intricacies of letstalk.com are shocking.

most of the games ship UPS, at least they have in the past. my xmen legends 2 shipped from a different section of the company, and shipped out using fedex. different return area(same address) UPS one said 'warehouse shipping'(or something) the fed ex one said 'customer services'(or similar) and each had a dofferent contact number...ill check when i get home and edit later. i wondered if the xmen game wasnt a preview copy or something that got shipped from another area. DreamTR said his copies had a bar code on them...

[classicb]

dont know. the intricacies of letstalk.com are shocking

I have no idea either. I could call them right now and probably talk to someone who would insist they don't even carry N-Gage games.

Also I just got a shippment email for Pathway to Glory: Ikusa Islands so I guess this game is out as well.

I've also noticed the wierd shipping details. This ones shipping Fedex (most of mine come UPS)... so whatever that means. x_x

also photo of the games I got today.

[qbertandernie]

that makes 50 then?

[classicb]

that makes 50 then?

yeah Pathway to Glory will be the big 50 (unless you count Sega Rally then its 51)

I remember over a year ago Nokia made an anouncement they were going to have 50 titles out by the end of the year. Well better late than never and I'm sure some people thought it would never happen.

[Slipdeath]

Well I bought Xmen 2 from DreamTR and it also had the bar code blocked.

[chimp69]

so how much did these games cost?

[slapdash]

It's about 50/50 whether they're $20 or $25, but the Atari ones are only $15.

[DreamTR]

Let me rephrase, I got two sets of NGAGE games, one set from Let's Talk.COM, which had the bar code blocked, and another set sent to various media. Sometimes people in the media do not get all of the games, but these particular ones did not have the bar code blocked off for some reason.

[classicb]

just got a shipment email for Mile High Pinball.

I've been looking forward to this one for awhile as well. Looks like it would be good title for waiting for a movie or the light rail or anytime you need a few minutes of fun.

BTW Rifts is amazing maybe the deepest portable game I've gotten this year... maybe ever (although I don't normally buy portable games that have alot of depth to them)

[Slipdeath]

If these games were more mainstraim, I would call this a comeback.

[zektor]

If these games were more mainstraim, I would call this a comeback.

That is really the sad part. All of the best N-Gage games are coming out right now, and nobody (at leat in my area) will carry them. It is now basically an underground thing.

[qbertandernie]

i got the mile high confirmation too, but still no sign of pathway to glory ikusa or asphalt 2...

to quote 'high seize'....."arrrrggghhh"

[DreamTR]

I had to call to order Mile High, it was not on my shipping dox, and they cancelled one of the MMORPG games....

[Slipdeath]

which one?
