Nokia now N-Gage-ing in December
Posted By LordAbLeading mobile phone carrier delays built-in gaming service “a couple of weeks” due to extended software-testing period; Warner Music pulls support.
In August, Nokia announced it would be reviving the N-Gage gaming platform. Eshewing the clunky “sidetalkin’” N-Gage hardware of the past, the latest incarnation of the service will be built in to new Nokia mobile phones and will be based on software downloads versus game cartridges.
The N-Gage service was scheduled for a global was launch this month, However, Reuters reports today that the service has been postponed due to an extended software-testing period. “N-Gage is coming in December. Software testing is taking a bit more time than what we had expected,” said Nokia representative Kari Tuutti. “We are talking about a couple of weeks.”
When the service does go live, it is expected to offer mobile versions of The Sims 2: Pets, Tetris, FIFA 08, Crash Bandicoot and other games for around $8 to $14. Models thus far slated to be compatible with the service include Nokia N73, N81, N81 8GB, N93, N93i, N95, and N95 8GB.

I’ve tried to think it over and I guess this is just a rumor. I hate rumors that ruin private life so advise you not to believe it and leave your comments by yourself.
