GLOBAL – This week a comment on our N-Gage moving to Ovi Store story sparked our brains into thinking about what else could fill the Ovi Store shelves. Right now we have apps, games, ringtones, wallpaper and videos kicking around, but what else could exist there? The comment in question raised the notion of it becoming a new home for Beta Labs. There are myriad reasons why that wouldn’t work (which we’ll cover below). As we’ve seen recently, improvements to the Ovi Store are coming thick and fast, and show no sign of abating. The team there are working 24/7 to whip things into shape and make the store the best place possible for as many users, and devices, as possible. Continue reading>>
GLOBAL – He’s probably the busiest person at Nokia right now, but we managed to snatch a few minutes with the man responsible for games at Nokia yesterday. With the backdrop of last week’s news about the move for Ovi Store to become the new home for games at Nokia, Mark spoke quite candidly about the move, and let slip a couple of treats we have coming up – and no, the touch version of Dance Fabulous isn’t one of them (even though that is incoming on Ovi Store).

GLOBAL – As N-Gage begins its transition to the heaven for mobile gaming platforms, a new home is emerging with a whole host of treats lined up. Ovi Store has been sporting an ever increasing range of games since its launch and now that’s set to accelerate further as it picks up the gaming torch from N-Gage. Moving mobile gaming to one central home alongside apps and other content makes complete sense to me and I’m looking forward to seeing what it brings for users. Continue reading>>
GLOBAL – Recently we were lucky enough to grab a quick chat with Mark Ollila, Director of X-Media Solutions at Nokia. An intriguing job title, indeed, backed up by an exciting role. See, Mark is responsible for running a worldwide team focused on creating new cross-media services, cross-media games (including N-Gage) and evolution of current services such as Ovi Share (whilst juggling and balancing plates on his head). Certainly, no small task. We spoke to him briefly at NW09 about the hot topic of location-based gaming and he gave us a better idea of when we can expect what he calls “casual location” games to leap out of the conceptual arena and spring to life.

GLOBAL – Over the past few weeks we’ve run a series of polls asking you what the most important feature in a camera phone, web browsing device, and most recently, a music phone. This week we thought we’d dust off our thumbs and point them at mobile gaming devices.
Now, N-Gage is arguably the best gaming experience you can have on a Nokia device, with the most sophisticated service, best graphics, online connectivity, yada, yada. But what’s most important to you? And let’s not forget Java games that funnel fun into the palms of most people using mid to entry level devices.
Throw your hat in the ring and vote for what matters to you most!
GLOBAL – This week marks one year since the the N-Gage Feedback Forum first cleared its lungs and screamed into existence. This smart online social media tool enables N-Gage fans to rally together and have their suggestions heard, evaluated by their peers, and ultimately acted upon by the N-Gage team in many cases. We’re stoked to have witnessed its rapid evolution and the amount of engagement it has inspired. Congrats and happy birthday!
We’ve rounded up it’s achievements to date, highlights of what’s in the pipeline, and some of the best suggestions that are planned and under consideration. So read on for a quick snapshot of what the N-Gage development team is working on.

ESPOO, Finland – Today sees the arrival of a new type of game on N-Gage. Dance Fabulous combines gaming with music to create a new experience for users. The idea of the game is to score points by creating new moves to music for your on-screen avatar. What makes this one unique though, is that users can use any music stored on their device to play the game. Users can also download more music from the Nokia Music Store (great for Comes with Music users) so they can continue to get more out of the game. Continue reading>>
