Nokia N-Gage - Gaming Phone?

[Mingo3k]

Have a look for yourself...
Think it will take of as a new handheld to rival the GBA?

Nokia has teamed up with a number of developers to ensure a number of titles, including a collaboration with Sega.



The new mobile is due for release February 2003.

Ang gues who will make games for the "thingy" ??

Capcom

Sega

Taito

NAMCO(no link found but you can be sure of it )

Right now there are mobil phones with JAVA support in Japan , and there are already many many games on them (check the screen's )




The games are not free , but the cost is minimal (200-300 Yens)

[Macca]

there is supposeably an ericsson one coming too, and then i'm sure it'll be followed by every other phone company

chances of rivalling the gba? about this much |-|

[vampireuk]

I think they are trying to appeal to the idiot market here, they forgot what a phone is actually for and will end up buying it to "look cool"

lol yes vampireuk Remeber those far off days when a phone was a plain old Phone lmao

/me sniffs and wipes away a tear

The good thing is that attempts to compete with GBA, even if they are doomed to failure, might push Nintendo to unveil the rumored GBA2 .... lighted screen, 4 action buttons, etc.

I'm getting really sick of all these new handhelds. Even the GP32 sucks ass. They will all fail anyway. How can they try to compete with Nintendo at their own game. Jeez!
