Mega Man and Street Fighter could be among titles for new N-GageWith several blockbuster game titles such as Street Fighter, Mega Man, Resident Evil and Dino Crisis under its belt, Capcom has today announced its commitment to the new and upcoming N-Gage platform, the latter to be unveiled globally on August 29. New games from the gaming developer are expected to be available on selected devices in 2008.
The first 2003 N-Gage was succeeded by the N-Gage QD the following year. However, then N-Gage devices weren't quite the success projected against Nintendo's DS and Sony's PlayStation Portable. Although earlier issues such as having to remove the battery on the N-Gage in order to swap games and the sideway placement of microphone and speaker was corrected on the follow-up, the N-Gage QD, it still wasn't perfect. Nokia's clearly giving its portable gaming device a third chance, after a break of about two years. On August 29, the Finnish company looks primed to set things right with the launch of its new N-Gage platform for compatible Nseries and S60 3rd Edition handsets. Several games developers have been roped in leading to the launch, including India's Indiagames, California-based Digital Chocolate, mobile entertainment company I-play and, most recently, Japanese-based Capcom. The launch is also widely expected to see some new S60 devices announced along with a music download service, though Nokia as usual is keeping mum.
