Nokia is touting its next generation N-Gage platform, which is a social-oriented game service. N-Gage will let you buy and try games on a range of Nokia Symbian S60 3rd Edition Smartphones with points, pictures, reviews, scores and rankings. The platform launches in November 2007, but there are already compatible phones on sale. So far the compatibility list includes the N73, N81, N81 8GB, N93, N93i, N95, N96, More phones will be added to the list over time.
Gizmodo just posted a hands-on video at MWC’08 HERE!
the games for our devices begin more interesting. It’s very nice graphic for mobile games. I think i will need to get a mobile device to test N-gage.
Mobile phones have all the attributes of a games machine: a screen, memory, processing power and an input device. They also have the advantage of connectivity. So it is of little surprise, given the sheer numbers, that the most distributed and the most played game in the world today is Snake on Nokia handsets. Yet this is a false beacon because mobile phone gaming is a very tiny fraction of the size that it should and could be.
