N-Gage 2 Coming Later This Year
Nokia seems to be eager to release a follow up to one of the biggest flops in handheld gaming (besides Gizmondo, of course). While everyone knows that the N-Gage was a piece of rubbish; only managing to sell under two million units, far less than Nokia anticipated. Apparently that doesn’t discourage them from giving it another try, as the N-Gage 2 is coming later this year, according to the official N-Gage blog.
Only two publishers are supporting the platform at the moment, EA, with their EA Mobile brand, which isn’t surprising at all, and the mobile game publisher Gameloft. Nokia will have to get support from more publishers with great titles in order to sell its new handheld. But seeing how the original N-Gage had decent games, it still flopped. The competition from Nintendo and Sony is simply to much, the N-Gage 2 will most certainly cost more than the DS and PSP.
