Nokia’s Revised N-gage Release Dates

Nokia have revised their N-Gage release schedule, pushing Sega Rally back to April and Marcel Desailly Pro Soccer to March. Plus there is still no sign of Taito Memories. A possible explanation of why there is nothing to be launched January & February is that Nokia are increasing the security of their copy protection. The UK N-Gage release dates look as followed:

March
13th Marceille Desailly Pro Soccer

April
9th Virtua Cop
16th Sega Rally
23rd Alien Front Online
23rd Requiem of Hell

May
Tiger Woods- PGA
Ashen

2nd Quater
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon
Operation Shadow: Theatres of War
Worms

Ahh Still the N-Gage offers nothing of interest. Old games translated poorly and new games badly made. When will this thing do anything other than make you look stupid when making a call?

I think we should lay off the N-Gage, we seem to be treating it pretty harshly...

NAH!

(to the tune of 'Ere We Go!)
Na-Gage sux,
Na-Gage sux,
Na-Gage suuuuux,

Na-Gage sux,
Na-Gage sux,
Na-Gage suuuuux......

Nokia have reported 100,00 n-gage units sold in the UK.

Oh wow... <_<

OMG thats a poor amount. Considering its "FREE". Looks like I was right.

*lol*

Someone I know's got one. Damn it looks horrible. Sounds alright, though, I suppose...

Yeah, but sound ain't that important, is it?

Not incredibly - I mean, look at FIFA and Pro Evo.

I love the fact that we have games with massive ochestral soundtracks in 5.1 digital surround sound. Beeps and boops dont sound as good coming out of my home theatre

BUT I'd rather play a game with crap sound but great graphics and gameplay than a game with fiddly controls, shite graphics, shoddy level design, mind numbing difficulty, a shoddy storyline but the worlds greatest ever soundtrack featuring the ghosts of Elvis and Hendrix, a choice selection of the greatest, most talented orchestras the world over and shatteringly high prod values. Even if it featured Marilyn Manson I wouldn't be swayed!

Yeah but I was saying that if ya remember the tunes that the 48k Spectrum speaker ( which was built in under the keyboard for those that dont know ) beat out (sounded like a flea with a drum kit) then you will apreciate the sound we have on games these days. Except for thos THPS games, te music is just drivell

Mostly yes. Unless of course you're talking MetalGear Solid or Final Fantasy type music.

Cor, that brings back memories. Final Fantasy 8 had, in my opinion, the best soundtrack in any game EVER!

...and how in hell's name can you get Virtua Cop on the N-Gage? A miniscule light-gun?

It's going to be a FPS

Ah - je comprends.

FPS on handhelds still dont cut the mustard, should be interesting though considering i was quite impressed by the n-gages graphics compared to those of the gba.

News Flash: N-Gages market share in the hardware market has gone from 0.3% to 0.4%! WOOOOOO!
