You may or may not remember Nokias N-Gage gaming platform. To cut a long story short, it was a dog. The first model was incredibly poorly designed, including the fact you had to hold it on it’s side to make a call. The second, the QD, was much better, but the damage had been done by then and it ended up sinking.
Back in 2005 Nokia announced they would be re-invented the N-gage platform, but this time as a part of the N-series. It will basically allow you to play high quality games, on your N-Series device. Sounds good.
It’s all been a bit quiet recently on this front, but they the boys over at Symbian-freak post up this, a video containing some in game action from a selection of N-gage games being developed.
Now, anyone who knows me know I love my video games, but I’m not overly keen on mobile games, so this fills me with glee. Some of the graphics on there (that fighting game) look incredibly good for a mobile device.
The games from what I’ve read don’t seem to come on memory cards, they are all downloadable from a central platform. Time to invest in those 4gb miniSDs.
Keep an eye on Future Watch. It’ll keep you up to date with deveopments regarding this.
Ricky at Symbian-Guru has been a busy boy, and found a walk through of the interface. There’s a few echoes of the Xbox Live system, which is by my money the best online gaming service out there.
Second Video via Symbian-Guru. Ricky finds all the good stuff!
