'N-Gage' Relaunched as Service

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the beating-a-dead-name dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In an interesting move, Nokia has decided to kill off the N-Gage hardware but carry on with the N-Gage name; a name branded as a failure by most of the gaming media. Still, Nokia has announced they'll be re-introducing the N-Gage as a gaming service for the Nokia network. You'll be able to download games that are very reminiscent of the N-Gage from their online service. This actually fits well into Nokia's statements when they announced the death of the N-Gage hardware. They said they would be focusing on their cell phones as a gaming platform in general, instead of just one or two."

    I bought my original N-Gage on launch day a couple of years ago, and I have been using it every day ever since (it is even sat here right in front of me now).
