Are you game?...

N-gage needs no introduction to any of us. All of us, in our boring lectures when half of the class is asleep, while going to office in the car, sitting idle waiting for someone, workless, have had our Nokia phones and gamed away to winning glory! Nokia N97 is the next big N-Gage device. One gets nothing less than astonished when discovers the possibility of widescreen gaming, touchscreen games, accelerometer support and the possibilities that the N97 brings for N-Gage games.

The Future of N-gage :
With the N97 changing things for N-gage through the introduction of new kinds of games and technologies, next year promises to be pretty exciting. Context is king in that location is going to play a much bigger part in gaming in the future. Music too will have tighter integration and Nokia is already in the process of developing new music based initiatives.

N-gage on the Nokia N97 :
In the next video, we can hear Jaako Kaidesoja, vice president of N-gage, to find out what we might expect when it launches . As he says, it is the first device which gives you the full scale and capabilities to run the most amazing of the games. Widescreen games is the first thing, with current and future games getting the full widescreen treatment. Touch, and tilt based gaming is also on the cards. All sounds pretty exciting.



The future of N-Gage sounds good, but will it be enough to compete with the variety of new iPhone games being released.

I think YES.

What do you think ?

  1. dis fone's not a typical n-gage kinda design...as in regarding the keypad... i think it wont be tht easy to play games on it...plus when one spends so much on a fone, on doesnt wnna hurt the keypad by gaming away!! so...dont think this feature is that appealing...

  2. One, you're forgetting about the QWERTY keypad, specially the thumb button on the left -> perfect for gaming! (dts what even Jaakko says in the video), and also, a lot of games will be accelerometer based! Trust me, I have a 5800 and touch games are amazing fun!

  16. Am getting so excited to buy this phone.. Can u comment on one reason not to buy this phone

    ReplyDelete
  17. One main reason which I see why iphone is so popular because its users are developing variety of applications for iphone..which are becoming so popular... Symbian surely will have already SDK for developing applications and games but how much easy or popular it is..this will be a deciding factor for nokia.
