Nokia to Pull Plug on N-Gage Platform

Nokia has finally decided to mercy kill the long-suffering N-Gage gaming platform. I think this is more newsworthy because it shows that Nokia was still actually supporting the N-Gage. I don’t know anyone in all my circles of gaming/geek friends that has an N-Gage in use. Maybe it’s big in Europe, like the Hoff.

Instead of N-Gage, Nokia wants customers who are interested in gaming to turn to its Ovi application store. "As mobile gaming evolves and begins to encompass social gaming, we want to offer one store front with an even broader portfolio of games -- games for everyone. It's much more convenient to have one place to get all your mobile games, and this is what Ovi Store provides," it said.
