Nokia N-Gage.. What do think about it?

[cgannon64]

I'll buy a GBA, a cell phone, and an iPod. I have have spent a little more, but I would have far superior gaming, speaking, and mp3-playing capability.

Its a case of something that has a little bit of everything, which is its downfall - it spreads itself too thin.

You bought an N-Gage, didn't you? </lousy gamefaqs fad>

I heard you have to be in the same room, pretty damn close...you might as well hook up using a GBA connector. Also, there are no current games that support the Bluetooth. And at $300, I highly doubt that there's going to eight people in one school that'll have the N-Gage

I have nothing against the N-Gage except that I detest that Nokia is taking potshots at Nintendo by claiming that people would be embarrased to pull out a "kiddie" GBA on a Friday night. Like holding a taco to your head in a funny way is better.

No, I have not a N-Gage and I don't want one. I dislike Nokia, specially after another guy was choosen before me for a job in Nokia in my city... And specially when a year after Nokia closed his instalament in my city and sent many engineers to the streets. Now these engineers are choosen before me when a Telecom job arises in my city. And the sector is in Crisis in all Europe.

I hate Nokia.

But the think is that I see all Nokia products selling very good, specially between youngsters... In Spain, as I told you, Nokia is "cool" for many teenagers so I think that Nokia is gonna sell a lot of N-Gages here

BTW, I haven't buy a Nokia product in all my life... The mobiles I like the most rigth now are the Sony-Ericsson mobile phone, although that Beckham-Vodafone-Sony-Ericsson ad is awful

I think I won't be buying it. Or, to be specific, I KNOW I won't be buying it.

I'll never be spending that much money on such an ugly piece of junk. I haven't seen anybody with such a thing either.

How many games are there for it? ... Like 20 or so? And aren't half of those sports games?

No, thanks.

Not many, that's for sure. I've read that most of them are sub-par anyway, and that play control is somewhat awkward due to the button size and setup.
And no, I won't be buying one either.

Oh yeah I'm sure it would be much fun to play an 8 player N-Gage game with your friends on the schoolbus. In all seriousness.

The problem is finding 7 other people who actually have an N-Gage.

It is a horrible piece of trash, but that's just my opinion. Though apparently a version of MAME has been ported to it...

Hmm... didn't notice this thread until now. Time to crush any positives of the N-Gage whatsoever.

The N-Gage... looks horrible. Like a taco, as they call it on GameFAQs, although I hear it's not very tasty for a taco. Being a taco, it looks ridiculous trying actually use the cell phone, with the screen pointing outwards.

Oh, and the price. Started out at $300, went down to $200, now bundling their games with it. Then again, the N-Gage has already been hacked so you could play their games on a regular cell phone if you wanted. Not to mention that their games are all mostly ports of old PSOne or GBA games anyway.

Oh, and to change games, you have to take the battery out to change it. Plus there's like a million buttons on that thing but only three are used or something. And it's vertical oriented. And it looks like a taco.

Add in the fact that Nokia is trying to market it as a "gaming console" with it's grand total of TWO games (Sonic N on GBA, and Super Monkey Ball on GCN) and a couple of bad games coming out later. Then Nokia says it's an "adult" GBA and a twenty year-old wouldn't pull out a GBA Friday night, although I guess XIII does this every day now.

Did I mention the N-Gage looks like a taco? Seriously, just look at the thing.

Interesting though, is if you look at GameFAQs poll today, of how many people have the N-Gage, more people have more than one than one. Must be a bunch of Nokia execs or something.
