The N-Gage!?

[duo17]

So it looks like Nokia is coming out with a phone/gameboy looking thing that they call the N-Gage. What are everyone's thoughts?

Here is the Penny Arcade comic:

can't wait to get the n-gage its my next big gadget thing to buy

penny arcade always jokes

 

[keeno_uk]

any idea on the price duo17

 

[duo17]

Oi, I was having trouble with my account.

Anyways, they haven't released a price but they said "Games will be less than console games!" That's all I have. I bet the actuall N-Gage costs about 200 US dollars.

[keeno_uk]

hmm an electronics magazine said it would be "reasonably priced" so I reckon between 80 and £100

 

[duo17]

There might also be a monthly subscription price, because it is also a cell phone with wireless internet, blue tooth, an mp3 player, text messaging and other features that you would expect in a good cell phone. Its too much for me. I'll probably just buy that new GBA SP.

[Race Idiot]

Bah, it has red faction and sonic.

I already have a phone, so I think i'll just go for the GBA, because of all the lovely rpg's.

 

[duo17]

Final Fantasy Tactics is supposed to come out for the GBA, and It'll look really cool with that new GBA SP.

Please tell me you're joking. Please.

 

[Race Idiot]

Nope, they go for about £230 over here.

So that equates to about $300.

Which means you can buy a GBA and a separate phone.

 

[Vasco]

They go for $240 over here...

Tomb Raider sucks on it...I played it the other day at EB.

 

[Race Idiot]

Yeah, they had one on display at GAME (formerly EB, here). Do you know if it uses cartridges like the GBA?

 

[skatenc]

the graphics are really good but its kindy pricey

the n-gage is a piece of crap. its just a giant cell phone with ports of games everyone has already played. might as well buy a gameboy. ill stick with my neo geo pocket.

Thank you!

big waste of money IMO.

Dispite what some people have said, I am actually going to purchase this when it comes out. Which is saying a lot because I'm not a fan of handhelds at all, but this one looks promising and it doesn't look like it will be all about kiddie games either.

huge waste of money, and it was just hacked. Look for hacked N-gauge games played on other cell phones using the N-gauge's chipset (Currently there are 2)

i dont care about hand helds. I dont need to play games while i walk around. Once I caught a kid in the ****in washroom playin a n gage so I decided never to buy a handheld
