I'm waiting for that list of good games to come out.
"Your soul better belong to Jesus, mmm-mmmmm..... cause your ass belongs to me!"
Already? Smells like damage control to me. Even so, though, they are quickly isolating their already small fan-base. Not only that, but the market they are now entering is filled with even BIGGER contenders. Do they honestly believe they can compete or even turn a profit?
Not really. Cell phone generations aren't 5 years like consoles.Originally Posted by TrialSword
Anyway the specs are nice, but I need to see a functional design.
Right, but for something touted as more of a "gaming deck" than a cell phone, not to mention Nokia's repeated promises to continue to support the N-gage, you would expect a level of devotion, especially considering the expenses. Chances are, if it had experienced any form of success, the successor wouldn't be out the door nearly as fast.Originally Posted by Frogacuda
Eh, the gaming deck thing is a crock, and everyone knows it. The QD is a cool phone if you want to play games on your phone. This looks cool too. Forget the marketing BS.Originally Posted by TrialSword
The Ngage has the same number of must haves as the PSP and DS do worldwide thus far.
If they base it on this design (Nokia 7710)
Then they're on to a winner!
