N-Gage hits Malaysia together with a new version of Snake

June 11, 2008 by nigel

This might seem a bit out of context with the regular postings here but since mobile gaming is a form of gaming as well, we decided to put it up. Malaysians can now, together with the rest of the world, enjoy the new Nokia N-Gage mobile games service with more games, additional compatible devices, and an expanded online offering. Millions of Nokia device owners can now find, try and buy high-quality made-for-mobile games directly from their mobile device. Players can also connect with one another through the N-Gage Arena community. They can meet friends, find others to play multiplayer games, discuss topics on the message boards and via live chat, and participate in tournaments and hosted events.

Games already available include: EA SPORTS FIFA 08 and Tetris by EA Mobile; Brain Challenge, Block Breaker Deluxe and Asphalt 3: Street Rules by Gameloft; World Series of Poker Pro Challenge by Glu Mobile; and Hooked On: Creatures of the Deep, Space Impact: Kappa Base, Mile High Pinball; and System Rush: Evolution by Nokia Publishing. Nokia also released its latest 3D version of the iconic Snake game called Snake Subsonic.

These games will be followed closely by The Sims 2 Pets by EA Mobile; Dogz by Gameloft and Metal Gear Solid Mobile by KONAMI. Starting today, players will have access to a range of high-quality games, many of which are exclusive to the N-Gage platform. N-Gage games incorporate exclusive, industry defining online community features, and in many cases, graphical experiences never before seen on a mobile device.

With the N-Gage application on their device, people can create a Friends List, send and receive private messages, and take part in instant messaging style chat. N-Gage Points can be earned for playing games and participating in community activities. Moreover, the experience can take place via the N-Gage web portal on the PC. Here players can interact seamlessly with the N-Gage community or purchase new games and download them to their N-Gage compatible devices.
