N-Gage unleashes interactive gaming experience
SYDNEY
-- Nokia recently displayed its new mobile game deck
device, the N-Gage, in London and Sydney. The device
enriches the interactive gaming experience with its
innovative wireless multiplayer platform for local and
remote gaming. Its unique platform provides opportunities
for network operators, game developers and other service
providers to generate revenue streams and develop service
concepts.
Tyler
McGee, vice president--sales, South East Asia Pacific,
Nokia Mobile Phones, said: "Nokia N-Gage starts
a whole new mobile gaming experience, with an ergonomic
design optimised for playing games. Nokia is working
with world-renowned game publishers, including Activision,
Eidos, Sega, Taito and THQ, and developers to provide
an appealing catalogue of high quality games to the
marketplace. Titles will include the latest blockbuster
games and a variety of titles across game genres. The
gaming 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, 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."
Games
for N-Gage game deck are sold separately on game cards
that enable a new kind of mobile game play experience
with richer graphics, enhanced sound and more extensive
game worlds to play. Nokia will also act as a game publisher
to create branded Nokia N-Gage game titles and develop
an evolving game portfolio. The devices and game titles
will be available in all major game-specific or video
games retail outlets, as well as in regular mobile phone
delivery channels in major markets. The Nokia N-Gage
will be commercially available in Q4 of 2003 in Europe,
America, Africa and selected markets in Asia Pacific.
