Nokia to Re-Launch Handset Gaming

Aug 27, 2007, 9:22 AM by (staff)

Nokia is set to re-launch the N-Gage brand as a gaming service that will be compatible with S60 handsets. The new service will allow users to sample games before buying them, as well as allow them to see what games are on their friends' phones, and whether or not they are available to play against. It will also show players' skill levels, so gamers can match up more evenly. Games will be available from a number of large and small game-developing companies, but will be focused more on casual gaming. Nokia will officially announce which handsets the service will work with later this week, though it plans to have games available for most S60 handsets by next year.

This could be great for the US Handset market

I really hope this product takes off. If it's really successful we are going to see allot more HIGH END Nokia coming stateside, in a timely manner(Instead of a year after its release,ie N95) Just think if ATT starts carrying more High end Nokia's and More Apple phones they might be come unstoppable.

jskrenes

It all depends on how well it is designed and what games are available. The Nintendo DS and PSP are pretty strong contenders, so Nokia and whatever carrier are going to have to figure out if they want to compete with Nintendo and Sony or not. Both s...

phones do not equal game controllers

i think that is one thing they did right with the Ngage. say what you want about how fugly they both were, but the ngage series were the best gaming phones from an input standpoint. not even the n95 has buttons on both sides of the screen (that are accessible at the same time). full qwerty's will probably work best with this, since qwerty phones are meant to be used with two hands.

Omagus

Yeah, I'm not sure how exactly this is supposed to work. I'm curious to see which handsets will be compatible. QWERTY would make the most sense, but then that would limit this to the E-Series. Isn't the N-Series the multimedia line (which I would a...
