Second time lucky for the mobile giant with gaming ambitions?
Ah, the N-Gage - remember it? An unmitigated disaster in almost every way, it died almost instantly in the face of superior mobile gaming opposition like the Nintendo DS and Sony's PSP, hell even the Gizmondo was better. But Nokia to its credit has persisted, and following the First Access limited beta launch for Nokia N81 owners last February, it has now brought the world of N-Gage to a much bigger audience.
No official announcement is actually due until Monday, we just happen to be very on the ball. That and the fact that the N-Gage blog has been shouting it from the rooftops: "We are live! The games, the devices, and the community are all here for you to finally get your teeth into. The Forums are back up and the new N-Gage application is here."
The platform is only compatible with Nokia N Series phones at the mo, but wider device support is promised soon. We can hardly wait.
