Remember the N-Gage? The N-Gage was a great idea of bringing a phone that also acted as a dedicated gaming platform. Unfortunately, a combination of weird usability and a lack of general interest saw it moving to the wayside. Nokia has revived the N-Gage but this time it isn't a phone per se but more of a gaming service that you'll start finding in most of the Nokia phones.
The service allows you to try all N-Gage games for free from any one of the tens of millions of compatible Nokia devices in the market. Once captivated, you can conveniently download and buy a game on your device or PC and continue the fun. You can also share the fun by connecting with friends, challenging players around the world, and participating in community activities in the N-Gage Arena.
The N-Gage service will be available globally in November 2007. At that time, the free N-Gage application can be downloaded from http://www.n-gage.com (PC or mobile) and installed in compatible devices. Later, the N-Gage application will be embedded in a wide range of Nokia devices, including the new Nokia N81 and Nokia N95 8GB, so consumers can play straight out of the box.

Furthermore, support for N-Gage continues to grow with EA SPORTS(TM) FIFA 08, The Sims 2 Pets, Tetris, and Tiger Woods PGA TOUR being developed for the platform as well as new publishers Capcom and Vivendi, and its famed Crash Bandicoot, on board. Nokia Publishing also announced new titles: Snakes Subsonic and Bounce Boing Voyage.
The indicative pricing for N-Gage games sold through the N-Gage store will range between six and 10 euros excluding local taxes and can be bought with a credit card or charged through operator billing where available. Operator billing is supported in over 20 countries and credit card billing is available globally. Daily and weekly game licenses are also available at lower prices and all games are free to try before purchase. Moreover, whether you choose to get games over the air or over the internet, managing your games catalog is a breeze with simple store and sync to your PC.
N-Gage is a made-for-mobile games service available in compatible Nokia Nseries and other S60 3rd Edition devices from Nokia. N-Gage makes it easy to find, try, buy, play and manage high-quality mobile games as well as connect to friends and other players in the N-Gage Arena, Nokia's mobile gaming community. Nokia is working with the world's leading publishers to deliver a broad portfolio of games.
