I-play to make casual games for N-Gage

Nokia has announced that I-Play will develop casual games for the upcoming N-Gage platform coming Fall 2007, proving once again that the N-Gage name will live on.

If you thought the N-Gage was extinct you are partially correct. The N-Gage gaming phones have almost gone the way of the Dodo bird but the name will survive in the form a mobile game service with content compatible on Nokia Nseries and other S60 3rd edition devices.

The first two games by I-play will be World Rally Championship and Super Mah Jong (from the makers of Jewel Quest), and will be available in 2008. I-play specializes in what it calls “one-thumb” mobile games.
