Nokia N-Gage™ mobile game deck showcased Major
global games publishers excited to publish on N-Gage™ multiplayer
platform
Nokia today showcased its new mobile games,
the Nokia N-Gage™ game deck, at "Get Ready to N-Gage"
events in London, UK and Sydney, Australia. The Nokia N-Gage game
deck enables an enriched interactive gaming experience by introducing
an innovative wireless multiplayer platform for both local and
remote gaming. The Nokia N-Gage game deck allows users to play
the latest high quality titles in a new way - multiplayer games
connected locally via Bluetooth wireless technology or over-the-air
games over mobile networks.
"The
Nokia N-Gage brings the start of a whole new gaming experience to the
market, with an ergonomic design optimized for playing games. Nokia
is working with world-renowned game publishers, including Activision,
Eidos, Sega, Taito and THQ, and developers to provide an appealing
and balanced catalogue of high quality games to the marketplace. Titles
will include both the latest blockbuster games and a variety of titles
across game genres," said Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President,
Nokia Mobile Phones. "The game experience can further be enhanced
when network operators and service providers enter the value chain
by providing game related mobile services such as downloadable game
levels, additional features and game characters or even running online
multiplayer games and communities. With these building blocks in place,
the Nokia N-Gage platform will help to unleash the creative and innovative
spirit of the games industry." The high performance
games for Nokia N-Gage game deck are sold separately on game
cards (using the MultiMediaCard standard). Game card distribution
enables a new kind of mobile gameplay experience with richer graphics,
enhanced sound and more extensive game worlds in which to play. Nokia
will also act as a game publisher to create branded N-Gage game titles
and develop an evolving games portfolio. Nokia N-Gage
game deck devices and game titles will be available in major retail
outlets, game-specific and video game retail outlets, as well as in
regular mobile phone delivery channels in all major markets. Besides
gaming, the Nokia N-Gage mobile game deck also features a digital music
player (MP3/AAC) and stereo FM radio, as well as a tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900
mobile phone. The Nokia N-Gage game deck is planned to be available
in volumes across five continents in the 4th quarter 2003 well in time
