N-Gage Mobiles

What happens when you have regular releases, and everyone expects a game on a certain day? You have a good feeling building around your platform. Will Nokia continue the regularity of the N-Gage game releases in 2009?

Not only that, but the titles coming out are strong genre titles. Boom Blox has a strong pedigree thanks to its design input from Steven Spielberg. Both Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid have huge recognition in gaming circles, even casual players will know these names mean something. And now Crash Bandicoot, while less well known to the public, is a recognised multi-platform franchise in gaming circles.

Now there is a worry that rather than the beginning of something approaching common sense relating to the release schedules, this was clearing the cupboard before Christmas. No matter what decision started this regularity, the short term effect will be to that anyone with a new N-Gage capable phone on Christmas Day is going to open up the client and see the big names from above. The question is what will happen in January?

Lets assume all the PR and Office closures mean that getting a release processed this Friday (Boxing Day) was never going to happen - hence Crash on Monday. And you wanted to have the big hitters ready for Christmas morning. I'd even argue that the Friday following that, January 2nd isn't going to happen either (at least in Scotland we sensibly have the second as a Bank Holiday because we know nobody in the country will be fit enough to even add up numbers).

So the date to watch is going to be Friday January 9th. If we have a marketing team that has enough ammunition, that has a remit to give a regular fix to mobile gamers, that understand how to build up a good vibe around a platform, then I fully expect to see a strong title released then.

If we don't see a release then, we're back into a circle and wait for scraps, like hungry vultures in the desert. This could be mitigated by some statement of release dates from Nokia, in a similar way that other gaming platforms do. That keeps the anticipation option available for others, I don't see why the Finns won't adopt it either.

Nokia's new N-Gage gaming service goes live

It's apparently saving the full, official announcement until Monday, but Nokia just dropped word on its N-Gage blog that the final version of its new N-Gage gaming service / application is now live and ready for your taking. To take advantage of that right now, however, you'll need an N81, N81 8GB, N82, N95, or N95 8GB handset, although Nokia says that support for additional N-Gage compatible devices is "coming soon," including the N73, N93, and N93i. If that doesn't preclude you, you can download the application straight to your device from Nokia's mobile site (n-gage.mobi/d), or you can hit up the link below to download it the old fashioned way.

Nokia N96


Overview

As is probably obvious by its model number, the Nokia N96 is an evolution of the all-conquering nokia N95, retaining its kitchen-sink approach to features while improving build quality and style. It's a tough act to follow however, and the N96 has got to be pretty special to lure dedicated N95'ers away from their beloved handset. So has Nokia succeeded? Of course they have! Luckily for us, the N96 is just as much a range-topping flagship as it's predecessor
