N-Gage collectors thread

[Slipdeath]

Well I bought Xmen 2 from DreamTR and it also had the bar code blocked.

[chimp69]

so how much did these games cost?

[slapdash]

It's about 50/50 whether they're $20 or $25, but the Atari ones are only $15.

[DreamTR]

Let me rephrase, I got two sets of NGAGE games, one set from Let's Talk.COM, which had the bar code blocked, and another set sent to various media. Sometimes people in the media do not get all of the games, but these particular ones did not have the bar code blocked off for some reason.

[classicb]

just got a shipment email for Mile High Pinball.

I've been looking forward to this one for awhile as well. Looks like it would be good title for waiting for a movie or the light rail or anytime you need a few minutes of fun.

BTW Rifts is amazing @_@ maybe the deepest portable game I've gotten this year... maybe ever (although I don't normally buy portable games that have alot of depth to them)

[Slipdeath]

If these games were more mainstraim, I would call this a comeback.

[zektor]

If these games were more mainstraim, I would call this a comeback.

That is really the sad part. All of the best N-Gage games are coming out right now, and nobody (at leat in my area) will carry them. It is now basically an underground thing.

[qbertandernie]

i got the mile high confirmation too, but still no sign of pathway to glory ikusa or asphalt 2...

to quote 'high seize'....."arrrrggghhh"

[DreamTR]

I had to call to order Mile High, it was not on my shipping dox, and they cancelled one of the MMORPG games....

[Slipdeath]

which one?

[DreamTR]

Spirits.

[DreamTR]

Crap, My Xmen barcode IS blacked out. Sorry for the confusion.

[Slipdeath]

That's wierd. Where did you hear that?

[DreamTR]

Let'sTalk Rep told me it was cancelled. They even removed it from my order!

52 games now released if you count Sega Rally, Mile High Pinball is on its way!

[qbertandernie]

dont mean to be rude here, but letstalk doesnt seem to know 'up' from 'down'...i dont know that id entirely trust them at this point.

though removing the game from your order sounds as though theyre fairly confident.


DreamTR: just makes a second, bar-coded version of 'xmen2' that i no longer have to persue. :)

[Slipdeath]

Does the 15% off code still work? If it does what is it?

[classicb]

Does the 15% off code still work? If it does what is it?

NGAGE_GAMES_15

you just need to buy 3 or more games. you also get free 2 day shipping if you order over $50 worth of stuff

[slapdash]

My last order included Warhammer, or so I thought -- no sign of it in my confirmation email. But then I rechecked, and it's not due until March. So maybe if it's so far out, they won't let you order? The only problem with that theory is that they let me order Atari Masterpieces Volume 2, which is also listed for March...

[qbertandernie]

you can order anything, they just wont ship your order til everything is in. so if you order warhammer, one and catan, i think you have to call to get the released games shipped before warhammer comes out.

LOL LOL LOL

yes yes....the average DP member knows more about their services than do they.

[slapdash]

That's not true in my case. I ordered 4 games. Warhammer was ignored for some reason. But Asphalt 2 and Atari 1 came (picked them up last Thursday night), while Atari 2 is still on order. I didn't have to call anyone.

the whole thing is a mess. I've had to call and make them seperate my orders and they've also done it on their own.

[Bojay1997]

I just ordered GT2, PTG:Isuka and Mile High and sure enough, my order was cancelled right away. For some reason, GT2 is showing as backordered until next week. PTG is not showing anything and I'm wondering if anyone actually has received this yet. I think someone said they got a confirming e-mail last week? Anyway, I guess I will just place the order again and see what happens. I can't believe how difficult this company is to deal with.

the automatic cancelling happened to me once as well. I had to call them and confirm I was a real person. I guess they get alot of fraud purchases.

the word on the internet is we can all look forward to more N-gage games in 2006 at the rate of two a month or with the way Letstalk does it nothing for months then 8 all at once. If its true I would expect some game anouncements soon.

[qbertandernie]

has anyone tried to order the snap on speaker or the MMC expander?

i tried to order the speaker with this order(from letstalk.com), but it was taken off the order when i finished checkout, and the MMC expander doesnt seem to be available...also gave a scathing review of letstalks service on my after order survey.

for those not 'in the know', the link to accessories is below.

[classicb]

I got the new PTG today and my Mile High Pinball should arrive tomorrow. I think it might be a while before we see anymore releases after Mile High Pinball. Which is fine by me since I all these games came out at once. I've hardly had anytime to play. I'll be looking forward to this new PTG since Red Lynx did a fantastic job on what I've played so far of High Sieze. I love the story book style animation.

http://pickledvellum.com/ptgii.jpg

[Slipdeath]

awesomeness. i think im just going to order all the games i need in one big payment with the discount.

[qbertandernie]

i got my mile high today...havent even looked at it though, just enough to say 'yup, its here'

got the other three on order(ptg, asphalt 2, and atari 2) and got a notice that they were packing the order now...no mention of a backorder on any of em. we will see i guess...

EDIT: now i check my order and evey mother lovin one of them is back ordered. back to the phones tomorrow i guess...

[classicb]

let us know if you get that Atari 2. I didn't think it was supposed to come out untill around April-March of 06 but you never know with these letstalk people.

[slapdash]

let us know if you get that Atari 2. I didn't think it was supposed to come out untill around April-March of 06 but you never know with these letstalk people.

I got an update yesterday which still says 04-15-2006 for Atari 2.

[Ulticron]

Well I broke down yesterday and decided to join the N-Gage bandwagon. I honestly couldn't resist. I got the following games

SSX out of Bounds
Puzzle Bobble VS
King of Fighters Extreme
Rayman 3
Bomberman
The Roots Gates of Chaos
Pocket Kingdom
Sonic N
Pandemonium
and Xanadu Next

all for $36.75 at my gamestop and all new. Some weren't factory sealed, but hey they were cheap and new. I still don't have the actual N-Gage yet. I'm not sure but I think they had the QD modle which is what I want, but I'm not ready to shell out $100 just yet. I am curious if there's a price cut coming for the QD anytime soon. In the meantime I'll probably end up going back to gamestop and seeing what else they have that I missed the first time.

[nhamze]

Where do you guys get your games at. I have decided to get a complete collection. I got 25 of them from Gamestop today but I am having trouble finding the remaining ones.

[qbertandernie]

congrats! halfway there!

letstalk.com has all n-gage games you want...go to phone accessories, find n-gage and theres the games.

warning: letstalk.com sucks! read above posts for additional information.

[classicb]

as far as we know the new games can only be bought here: http://n-gage.letstalk.com at least in the U.S. use the 15% off code if you buy more than three games : NGAGE_GAMES_15 and you'll also get free 2 day shipping.

the older games are super cheap at Gamestop as you already figured out. try gamestop.com to fill in a few more blanks in your collection. all the games are 6.99 or less even though at first the website says they're more just click on the games and you'll see.

and welcome to the club, will show you the secret handshake later
;)

edit: foiled again beat by qbertandernie by a minute

[classicb]

I have a request for all you N-Gage collectors that have more than just games. Things like N-Gage display stands, promo items, display boxes for games that didn't get released. I know a few of you got display stands but I forget who. I have a virtua cop display box that I'll take a picture of. The best picture you can take would be appreciated.

I'm asking because I'd like to finish this website I started a long time ago. http://ngagecollector.com/

[nhamze]

Thanks I picked up 4 more from Gamestop.com

These are the one that I need

Asphalt Urban GT
Asphalt Urban GT 2
Atari Masterpeice Vol 1
Catan
Glimmerati
Heigh Seize
King of Fighters
Mile High Pinball
MLB Slam
One
Pathway to Glory: Ikusa Islands
Puzzle Bobble VS
Requim of Hell
Rifts
Roots: Gates of Chaos
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
SSX: Out of Bounds
Super Monkey Ball
System Rush
Worms World Party
Xanadu Next
X-Men Legends 2

If someone can pick some up at their GS I would buy them off them and pay a little for their trouble. I was do the same if you need some games from my GS. It was so funny I went in today and told the guy I want one of every N-gage game that you have. He looked at me as if I was crazy hehe, then he brings out a box of about 100 games and I get to sort thru it to find all the games I need it was sweet.

[classicb]

you'll only be able to find these at the letstalk.com website but I'm going to my gamestop today so I'll keep an eye out for the others.

[qbertandernie]

ive got a tony hawk display box, one of the cingular demo units, original 'buy the ngage' press kit(with lapel pin!!) and system display ad(purchase yours today), and 12 of those NFR games...i think thats all..

if you want to pm your email address i can send them direct...can give bigger pics that way that may look better when reduced, can send all at once, and dont have to upload them.

[classicb]

since we won't be seeing any new games for a bit I thought I'd bost this -> video (http://www.rinconportatil.net/videos/n-gage/evento/accesorios.avi) <- that some guy from Spain posted on the N-Gage boards. I guess he works for a video game site in Spain and got all the goodies including a beta version of Virtua Cop @_@ He also made a video of just the Virtua Cop game HERE (http://www.rinconportatil.net/videos/n-gage/evento/virtua_cop.avi)

[chimp69]

if any one has any n-gage stuff for sale-accesories-games-nfr,games- boxes-promo stuff- let me know. shoot me a pm.

[classicb]

anybody else get this email from Nokia with this link

http://n-gage.letstalk.com/silverqd/landing_silverqd.htm

$499 is a bit much for a N-Gage even if it is limited to 10 @_@

[qbertandernie]

yow!

tempting, but thats too damn much...

$399? probably not
$299? not horribly likely
$199? yeah, maybe

[Bojay1997]

for normal MSRP, why would anyone pay 5X the MSRP of a regular QD for this?

[classicb]

I have no idea. In the eyes of most its just a silver cell phone face plate on a QD. You do get a nice collectors tin but still $400 for a tin and a silver faceplate. I'm not so sure they will even sell 10.

[esquire]

Add my name to the list of N-Gage collectors. Last week I dropped by a Gamestop that is a bit out of the way from me and I notice they had over 30 N-Gage games on display. I was curious and saw them marked at $6.99 a piece. After finding this thread, I went back today and picked up the N-Gage QD, carrying case and 22 games. I also ordered 5 more from Gamestop and EBGames. I plan on going back and picking up the remaining 10 or so games I didn't get. So far I am loving my N-Gage, especially Worms World Party.

EDIT: I Picked up the remaining 10 games I passed up yesterday, so my new count is 37. Only 14 to go!

Also, anyone have a Gamestop near them that have Crash Nitro Kart marked down to $6.99? I'd be glad to pay someone to pick one up, That seems to be the only old game I couldn't find either at the store, online or on eBay, and I am not ready to pay $19.99 for it from Let's Talk just yet.

[esquire]

here is everything I've gotten post Glimmerati which I think we all agree was the last games to be available in B&M stores.

http://pickledvellum.com/newngagegames.jpg

I just got home today and I missed another package from letstalk which should have Atari Masterpiece Vol 1, Asphalt 2 and X-men Legends 2.

now I can't wait to dig into Rifts. I've been waiting for this for a long time.

I'm glad you posted this picture. I had ordered 5 games from Let's Talk, and the package arrived today. One of the games was Rifts. The case looked somewhat different and on closer inspection it appeared to have writing on it. I really couldn't make it out, but after doing some research on the game and RPG series I discovered it was none other than author Kevin Siembieda's autograph!

At first I thought it was some computer generated signature printed on all of the game covers. I couldn't find a copy for sale on eBay and Let's Talk doesn't display the cases for the games. Then I saw your's and noticed something was missing. I wonder if it's an original signature? I am guessing it is, but now I don't know if I should open the game. Perhaps I should order another copy? Does anyone have any info on this? How many copies were signed?

FYI, the signature is in red ink running on a slight angle from the ESRB rating to the "E3 2005 Editor's Choice Winner" stamp.

I'll try to take a picture this weekend and post it later.

[classicb]

wow very cool you got one. it is real I got an email about it from Nokia before the game was released. It didn't say how many he signed but that the first batch would be signed by him. I was kind of disappointed I didn't get one of the signed ones. congrats though as all N-Gage games are pretty limited and a signed one is even more so. look forward to seeing the picture.

[classicb]

I don't know if I should open the game. Perhaps I should order another copy?

If you order another copy and it turns out to be signed as well I'll buy it from you :) I'm tempted to order another one because I think he signed a bunch but I don't want another one if its not signed and I'm sure calling letstalk.com will do me little good.

[qbertandernie]

id trade mine and some cash for that copy thats signed...im not going to open mine anyway.

[classicb]

so as the N-Gage some how some way finds a way to continue into 06 how many games do you think we'll get?

It doesn't look like anything is scheduled for January but there are reports that Nokia will release 2 games a month through to 07. If that starts in February that would be another 22 games LOL I don't think that will happen but who knows. Right now I know of only 7 games scheduled for release. If Nokia could manage another 18 games this year I think that would be good and bring the total up to 70 games :)

I finally decided to go get Sega Rally. I don't really collect non-us releases but since it was just one and the N-Gage is the only system I've gone for a complete collection with I said oh well. I think I got it from the same guy in Thailand that many of you have since when I checked his feedback I saw some familar names LOL

I'm sure most of you kept it sealed but not me I busted this game out of the wrapper as soon as it arrived so I could see just how bad it was. It's not unplayable but there is no reason to play it when we have Colin McRae Rally on the same system that just does everything right.

Also it looks like some of the accesories are in stock at letstalk.com

[Slipdeath]

I think the games are announced are the last games were going to get. But who knows, Nokia has suprised me before.

[qbertandernie]

i expect 2-3 more titles, then the system will be abandoned...

i cant imagine sales are that good on the newest released titles, and nokia will only release those games that are near completion - the rest will simply be scrapped.

then, in 2011, someone will have to hunt down the programmers who used to work at nokia and get beta copies of partly completed games and some concept art for systems...maybe a proto of the infamous 'n-gage 2'.

in an unrelated issue, does anyone have employee records for nokias n-gage division?

[esquire]

I am interested in picking it up as well, but haven't seen it on ebay lately. Can you post a link to the auction, or disclose the seller's id?


Also it looks like some of the accesories are in stock at letstalk.com

I recently picked up the Speaker and MMC switcher, and both work great. They attach to the n-gage quite well, and seem to be pretty durable. Also, if you buy 3 games with them and enter the discount code, they'll take the discount off the accessories as well. Not sure if it will work just on accessories as well, or say 2 accessories and 1 game.

[classicb]

here is the seller ID:iamsiamz

and he has an Ebay store as well: LINK (http://stores.ebay.com/eXglue-AnyThing-EvryThing-in-THAI)

looks like he has a BIN Sega Rally for $49.99 but I got mine in a regular auction for $30 and I saw others even get it for as little as $13 @_@ so you might want to wait until he puts some up as regular auctions.

[classicb]

something else you might want to try is PM Amy Rose here on DP. I saw she gave someone Sega Rally in the Secret Santa thread. She lives in Australia so she might have acess to them. Just a thought.

[qbertandernie]

might as well pick up sega rally too i guess. id hate to have one game in the library missing, even if it is import only.

and im glad to know the speaker and game switcher are available now. i quit watching letstalks site when the games i wanted all arrived.

looking at my excel list, the average price for an n-gage game has been $9.14. how many supported systems can you have a complete collection for at that cost? i love n-gage!

classicb: whats the 52nd game? my count had it at 51 if counting sega rally. so another 18 games this year would be 69?

[classicb]

classicb: whats the 52nd game? my count had it at 51 if counting sega rally. so another 18 games this year would be 69?

I'm not sure. I was just going off what I had wrote on the first page of this thread. I edit it everytime a game comes out but I could have screwed it up somewhere. I have 51 US and then Sega Rally 52.

[qbertandernie]

oops, my mistake!

i was missing tiger woods golf from my list...came free with my display and i forgot to record it!

so the count stands at 52!

[jonathonwillie]

does anyone have any extra n gage games for sell/trade. I happened to be in EB games when i picked up a bunch for 1.89 each so im starting a collection now

[classicb]

I tried to use the 15% off code and it said it was expired. :( it was bound to happen.

I ordered the headphones (the cheap ones, I can't believe they have $79 headphones even if they are bluetooth), speaker and MMC card expander. I wanted to get one of those new cases but I can't find them anywhere on the site.

you know what other accessorie I would like. I'd like a screen magnifier like the old Gamegear and Gameboy had (although smaller). Not for playing games though since I think it would get in the way but for watching movies and stuff on the N-Gage.

[Slipdeath]

hold on is it 51 or 52 w/out counting sega rally?

[classicb]

hold on is it 51 or 52 w/out counting sega rally?

51 US releases + Sega Rally Non US release = 52 overall

[MasterChief78]

I tried to use the 15% off code and it said it was expired. :( it was bound to happen.

it told me that as well, but still gave me the discount and free ship. weird hu?

[classicb]

hey does anyone have the N-Gage Insider magazines. I got vol #2 from a former N-Gage collector here on DP I think he had 9 of them so I would guess some of you got one as well. I was wonder how many issues there are? My guess would be around 4 or 5 since it looks like they just make them for the big video game events.

[blue lander]

I guess I'm an N-Gage collector, too. I've got about 10 games for the system. I'm particularly interested in the N-Gage games that are mail-order only. I assume if the N-Gage takes after the Atari 2600 pattern, the final batch of mail-order only games will become the rarest games for the system. I can't wait for the Civilization port to come out in particular.

on top of being rare they are actually some of the best N-Gage games which should make them even harder to come by at a later date.

[blue lander]

The only two N-Gage games I've ever really enjoyed are Xanadu Next and Pocket Kingdom. I hope these latest releases reach that level of quality.

Wasn't there supposed to be a sequel to Pocket Kingdom, by the way? I wonder if it's been cancelled.

[swlovinist]

I have been suprised by the level of games still coming out. I was also wondering who here knows what type of promotional displays N-gage released to display their games. I have an extra n-gage QD dual mounted wall mounted dispay kiosk that I have up for trade or sale.

[Gamereviewgod]

I figured I should jump in here.

Got a QD for Christmas. At first I didn't think it was possible for a system to have controls this awful. My fingers were in agony because the buttons and pad were so stiff. I switched with an extra faceplate and that cleared it up quite a bit. Thank god that was included in the deal.

I'm more than impressed by the games. I love Tiger Woods, Sonic N, Pathway to Glory, and Colin McRae. I believe if the media gave it a little more credit, the original model wasn't so poorly designed, and the graphics looked better in screen shots, it would have had a chance. There are some great games, and now it's just a matter of getting them all.

It's great to get a solid collection from the start and for so cheap. EB and Gamestop shipped quick, and with the other deals from DP members, I'll have around 20 games. Not a bad start!

(Classicb I'll get back to you soon on that trade!)

while I haven't played the original taco design I've heard people say its got an excellent d-pad and there are also spaces between the buttons which I imagine would help too bad you have to take the battery out to change games though. x_x

[classicb]

I got my accesories today :) I got the MMC card expander and snap on speaker. I wonder if they had made something similar to the MMC card expander for the original N-Gage if it would have helped anything. Anyway pretty cool little thing. Its nice to be able to have access to one N-Gage game and a MMC card full of extras at the same time. I think using it might also expand the life of that little rubber flap you pull down to put the game in.

[qbertandernie]

yeah, i thought the game expander was ingenius. the speaker was pretty nice, but when you can have a portable system that you can stick two games in, not having to worry about losing one, thats cool.

[SegaAges]

I haven't posted here in a long time, so I figured I would hop in and let others know how I am doing with my collection.

I currently have 39 N-Gage games.

I have 3 left to get from the old batch (which is a deal already in the works from a fellow DP N-Gage collector).

I have 1 of the new games, Atari vol. 1.

I just ordered system rush and catan today from letstalk.com (what is that code, I didn't know it and couldn't find it, or else I would have ordered 3 games).

I have warhammer on backorder from letstalk, so I will be getting that gama as soon as it is in stock.

The only accesory that I own is the small case.

I seriously rarely play my n-gage, but I am very much enjoying collecting for it. I am acting on collecting this now before it goes the way of the virtual boy.

EDIT:
Also, anybody got an extra cord so that I can hook my n-gage up to my computer and get some demos put onto my mmc card?

Also, has anybody played alien front online or virtua cop, I am curious about those 2 games

yeah Nokia announced Shadow Born and Hobo Island at a big N-Gage even in Spain a few months ago. They launched the Shadow Born site just after the first of the year I would think Nokia is still planning on releasing more and more games. www.shadow-born.com/

[slapdash]

Hey, I've got a question... All the games have icons on the back of the box for "Single Player", "Multiple Players", "Bluetooth" and "Online" -- but I noticed that one of the newer ones (Atari Masterpieces Vol. 1 IIRC) has "Hot Seat" listed. What the hell is that?

Hot Seat is playing with one game pack and one system with two people. You just trade the system back and forth between turns. Works well with a game like High Seize.

sega has a new game on the official games list called 'shadow-born'...no info or a page link, but a good sign that games are still being put into production...for those who don't have the link

http://www.n-gage.com/en-US/games/All_Games/


yeah Nokia announced Shadow Born and Hobo Island at a big N-Gage even in Spain a few months ago. They launched the Shadow Born site just after the first of the year I would think Nokia is still planning on releasing more and more games. www.shadow-born.com/

That's a fun site, especially the personality profile.

It lets you take an ink-blot test and then rates you. The first one I did honestly... all the inkbnlots are obviously supposed to look like demons and monsters and hellspawns and such. Of course, I am "Shadow Born" and perfect for the game.

Then I said everything looked like "bunnies" and "panda bears" and "fluffy cats." It told me I had an unnatural obession with animals.

Then I said everything looks like "penis" and "vagina" and "breasts." Of course it told me I was a sexual deviant.

LOL

Heh, they should have called it Hot Potato...

But does it say "Hot Seat" on the High Seize box? Now I've gotta take a closer look at my boxes...

[classicb]

High Seize doesn't have the hot seat logo but it does have the hot seat function

[slapdash]

High Seize doesn't have the hot seat logo but it does have the hot seat function

Ah, guess they didn't think about "advertising" it until later... Or maybe the publisher gets a choice, who knows.

[Slipdeath]

There's no point in advertising since it's not on shelves.

[slapdash]

There's no point in advertising since it's not on shelves.

But with that logic, they shouldn't have bothered listing "Hot Seat" on Atari Vol. 1 either, yet they did.

Heck, with that logic, why list any of the options anymore? Why print the insert in color? Why print an insert at all? Why bother with the box? Heck, why a cart?

Nah, they're still treating releases as if they could be found on shelves, so it's odd either that High Seize doesn't say "Hot Seat", or odd that Atari Vol. 1 does. We'll see if any other "Hot Seat" games list the option on the back insert or not I guess.

[Slipdeath]

Is it me or are the manual's covers made differently now?

[chimp69]

ill check it out. not sure, to be honest, havmt opened any of the new games to check the manuals. just to let people know, im gonna post a thread with my sealed n-gage colleciton up for grabs. some are already gone, so let me know. this is just an advance warning. None of the newer games are for sale, but all the basic titles.

[fishsandwich]

Whoa... I just got one of these in the mail and almost all the games for it (just waiting for four more to come and I'll have the whole set.) This thing is AWESOME. I know the PSP and DS outpower it, but I don't have either of those and this thing is SO SMALL! I never though I would play such a nice-looking Tomb Raider on a handheld. Damn this thing is cool. Buttons are a bitch, though. Have to get used to those. The vertical-inclined screen is not nearly as bad as I thought. This little thing really is a portable PSone.

@_@ @_@ @_@

Now to try some emulation...

Can someone point me to an NES/SMS emulator for the Ngage? I suppose it's in this LONG thread somewhere...

:D

[classicb]

here are a couple of links.

http://ngage.dcemu.co.uk/
http://www.zophar.net/consoles/ngage.html

the verticle screen starts to become an issue with emulators. the Vampnet GBC (http://vampent.com/emu.htm) is the best emulator for the n-gage. It plays full speed and full screen. NES plays full speed but the screen options aren't that great.

non-gaming related

you can do other cool shit with the n-gage too like using it as a remote control for your computer (if it has blue tooth).

this site converts movies to fit your phone. nothing like a little Family Guy while waiting for the bus.

Yep. The same one, I stumbled across here and found some people that actually dig the system so I thought I'd sign up.

Whats your arena username?

[classicb]

same. although recently it wouldn't let me login in with my name so I made another one "pickledvellum" I still use classicb though when playing games over the arena. Any idea why it wouldn't let me login

btw n-gage fans around here are small although this site as a whole loves all video game systems. you'll even find some 3DO and Jaguar fans around here

[funkyflea]

Did you try contacting one of the administrators?

Lots of people have had some account troubles for unknown reasons.

[fishsandwich]

I just got an Ngage and a mess of games. I must say this is one amazing little system. I know it's less powerful than the PSP or DS, but the DS is just too damn big for me and the PSP is still too expensive and I understand that battery life and disk loading are issues. This leames me with the Ngage.

Question-

What's the best FPS on the Ngage? I'm getting pretty deep into ASHEN (this game is cool) but I found that RED FACTION appears to suck. Does Red Faction get any better? Any other cool FPS? I know there are some Tom Clancey (Splinter Cell?)games, but aren't they more stealth-oriented? Anything else like Ashen that's just straight-up DOOM shooting?

:D

[classicb]

Red Faction and Call of Duty aren't that good. I thought that Ghost Recon was the best FPS on the N-Gage but I liked the overall feel of Ashen more. There have been rumors of an Ashen sequel but who know if will ever see it this late in the N-Gages life.

also there is a free version of Doom on one of those links I posted.

[DreamTR]

I got one of those NGAGE SILVER Collector's Edition thingies sent to me in the mail for press a couple of weeks ago if anyone cares...

press? N-Gage still does press? none the less I'd love a picture. did it come in the collector tin? if you want to sell it let me know.

[dbiersdorf]

Ashen was really fun IMO. If you can get past the awkward controls, I think anyone can appreciate it. I used to play that all the time during class last year.

Oh and does anyone have any N-Gage games for sale? I'm getting bored of playing Puzzle Bobble Vs. all the time, especially considering the game is simple.

Wtf? You can actually play that game? Kudos.

[classicb]

what we have to look forward to as of now. who knows if we'll see more or less than this but this is what we know:

Civilization - February
Warhammer 40,000 - March
Atari Masterpieces Vol. II - April
Payload - Announced
Spirits - Announced
Hinter Wars - Announced
Shadow-Born - Announced
Habbo Islands - Announced

not much but I would expect some new game announcements at the Game Developers Conference if we're to get any at all.

[SegaAges]

I already have warhammer preordered, I just ordered gt2 and high seize from there on thursday, so hopefully these games will be good.

It looks like others are just as far along as I am, if not further, with the collections.

[dbiersdorf]

I've beaten it on hard mode over a dozen times now. LOL

I can play Ashen but not Puzzle Bobble VS.

[dbiersdorf]

I was talking about Puzzle Bobble.

[Slipdeath]

I scanned both Virtua Tennis variants, but imageshack and photoshop don't want to load them.

[DreamTR]

classicb: It did come in the collector tin. I doubt I will sell it because I have a complete NGAGE collection of games, and the silver NGAGE makes it look that much nice. I just don't know why it's $500 for the thing!

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I can play Ashen but not Puzzle Bobble VS.

Puzzle Bobble is hard because the game is so slow, just like Puyo Pop. Just like Java games on mobile phones. Far too slow for my liking.

Plus, the coloured balls / bubbles tend to blend in with each other after a while, especially on the original model N-Gage...


Ashen is a good game. I liked it, and the controls aren't too bad. I have seen worse and better, but I wouldn't say Ashen is as bad as everyone makes out

[fishsandwich]

Newbie Question...

It seems that I can play GB, GBC, SMS, NES, and some MAME without too many problems via emulator on the Ngage. Is that correct? SNES is probably slow? How about Genny and TG-16?

What do I do to make it work? I have a laptop but it's not Bluetooth enabled.

I'm thinking of buying a 512 card based on what i've read earlier in the thead. Is anything bigger just too big?

What next? I've seen card readers that connect to the PC via USB. Is that what I need?

Then what? Download an emulator to my PC then onto the card to put in the Ngage? Do I add the games directly to the card? Is there some sort of menu?

Total newbie here with a basic working knowledge of some things and that's about it. I've read some guides but they don't address emulators directly. I'm going to give that DVD-to-ngage readable file thing a try, too.

Anyone?

:D

[classicb]

What next? I've seen card readers that connect to the PC via USB. Is that what I need?


yup. that's the way to go even if you did have bluetooth computer.

once you drag the emulator onto the card and the roms (should be roms folder) you have to install it on the N-Gage. done like this

Menu/Tools/Manager/Find emulator on list/Install

make sure you install it to your MMC card you'll have the option to install it to your phones memory and you should never do that.

there is also on piece of software that is highly recommended that you get: FExplorer. It will alow you delete and move files around on your MMC card while in the N-Gage without it there may be big proplems ahead for you.

their Ebay value seems to be quite low now. I've seen two just recently one sold for $75 and one didn't sell with a BIN of $199

[DreamTR]

I was talking about the retail price on the Nokia store, not eBay....I'm not surprised it's low on eBay...

[Bojay1997]

This system was never really $500. They just wanted to sign you up for cell phone service and if you agreed to a contract, the unit became $200 which is still expensive, but not insane.

[funkyflea]

DreamTR, you have a complete collection?

I kinda stopped using my N-Gage in december. So my collecting halted there too.

I am missing Spiderman, bomberman, ptg 2, high seize.

And one or two others. But it's not too far off complete.

Waiting for two more games in the mail for mine to be complete. I got wrapped up into this little device FAST.

Has anyone had a problem getting Monkey Ball to play on the QD? The card seems to have a groove/indention that the other cards don't and my QD won't accept it. Won't even go into the slot more than a fraction of a centimeter (I suppose that's a milimeter.)

Anyplace to get the memory cards cheaps? Ebay looks sketchy, and Office Depot didn't eben have one. Is the memory card (for emulators and such) hard to find? How about the USB thingie???

I don't know if it is just my qd, or if i have a faulty game, but I was trying to play sonic n last night, and when i get to the 3rd level, the game quits out and it says that there was some error. this happened with pathway to glory (i think) as well. it has only happened to me with 2 games, but i know sonic n is one of them. anybody else have this type of problem?

I've heard this happening when people save to much stuff to the phones memory. Might want to make sure your phones memory isn't too full.

Well I don't im really trying not to use letstalk. But I guess im going to have to for the last couple.

[fishsandwich]

Well I don't im really trying not to use letstalk. But I guess im going to have to for the last couple.

I used LetsTalk for the first time last week... the guy on the phone was fairly coherent and very helpful. He couldn't find all the games I wanted very easily, but he eventually found everything after some hunting (their system must suck.) Quite friendly. I guess I was lucky... judging by other's comments it seems that LetsTalk isn't the best company to order from. The only thing he got wrong was Atari Collections 2 (not available yet) but I wasn't billed for it.

Games arrived three days later.

Spiffy. :D

[Slimedog]

I'm about to put together a big order with them for all the letstalk exclusive games, but I'm kind of waiting for a sale of some sort. Does anybody know if they are currently doing any sale that isn't listed on the web site? They used to have a 10% off deal that would save me a ton of cash, but it looks like thats dead now.

[fishsandwich]

I asked what kind of specials they were having. The guy looked it up and said there was a 15% the total order special that was not listed on the website. Good enough for me. There's also some specials if you buy certain combinations of games but they usually include at least one older title.

Have fun.

:D :D

ps

Anyone know what will on Atari Masterpieces 2?

[qbertandernie]

ive got an extra copy of atari masterpieces 1 if anyones interested.

[classicb]

so just for fun i added a poll to this thread to see why we all collect the N-Gage.

[qbertandernie]

i started to collect it simply because i figured it would be one of those overpriced 'this is great' systems that ends up disappearing in a year. since the first acquisition of the taco press kit, ive been on an ngage kick, buying pretty much everything on the system. i love it! even though i never play it.

still have some nfr games for trade if people have any i dont.

[poopnes]

Anyplace to get the memory cards cheaps? Ebay looks sketchy, and Office Depot didn't eben have one. Is the memory card (for emulators and such) hard to find? How about the USB thingie???

:D

Ebay is pretty much your best and only bet. I nabbed a new 512MB MMC card a year ago for around $50 shipped on a BIN. The only place around me that still had MMC cards was best buy and they wanted $40 for 128MB--NO THANK YOU.

As for getting items on to the card you have two choices. Either buy a USB SD card reader or buy a bluetooth USB kit. They'll do the same thing, but the USB card reader will be faster I believe. But by using bluetooth you can backup your contacts and calender and crap, and you can use Nokia's software for converting movies to 3GP--which actually is decent and pretty fast.

[SegaAges]

I have been using letstalk for the past 6 weeks and have not had a problem with them at all. I have gotten about 6 games from them, and they ship really fast. It sucks having to pay retail for the games, but then again, I might as well seeing as I got most of the games for 3 or less when I started collecting for it anyway.

[funkyflea]

If anyone is interested I write some reviews for acegamez, which can be found here:

And no, I didn't write that tony hawks review, I like the game.

LOL , I swear i'm not biased, just understanding of the system, and I have actually played the system.. ;)

[SegaAges]

I was playing High Seize last night, and found it to be very similar to advanced wars (or the portions of advanced wars that I had played). the game is pretty fun. i recommend you guys to go out and get that if you haven't already.

yeah its one of if not my favorite N-Gage game as Advance Wars is one of my favorite GBA games.

last year Nokia did a poll to see what people wanted to see on the N-Gage and Advance Wars was the highest voted so I think High Seize was their solution to what the N-Gage owners wanted.

IGN even gave it a pretty good review.

[Oobgarm]

I just noticed the poll.

I've been collecting N-Gage on and off since I got the system back at launch. It gives me things to play on my phone other than NES games. Plus, it's been nice to go into stores and find stacks of games for $6.99 or less.


How about the USB thingie???

If you want to go the USB route, go buy a PSP USB cable. They both use the same thing. Matter of fact, I use my N-Gage one for the PSP. LOL

[Slipdeath]

'Tis a sad day indeed. I got my N-Gage stolen in the locker room, fuckin public high schools!

[slapdash]

Yeah, I've had a sad month... I finally ordered a QD, but it was stolen out of my apartment rental office. :-( Luckily the vendor replaced it (though with the wrong carrier's SIM card, so I STILL can't use it for a few days), and Cingular has been good about it -- not charging me for a second activation, helping me get ringtone orders I didn't make off my bill -- but I've already paid for a whole month in which I didn't actually get to use the phone I'm paying for. Grr...

[Slipdeath]

Yeah I used my N-gage for everything, even the alarm clock. I left it on vibrate so when I called with my friends phone I looked around to see if there was any reactions but p.e. has over 300+ students

[slapdash]

Sorry to hear it. I had a handheld game stolen out of my locker when I was in high school. That sucked enough, but a phone/game, dang.

[fishsandwich]

I just got my last two N-Gage games for a complete lcollection, SSX and Puzzle Bobble. I have decided that Sega Rally does indeed suck, just like you all said. What a waste. I am playing the hell out of three games... Ashen, High Seizes, and Mile High Pinball. Looks like this thing is going to keep me busy! I also ordered and MMC card and I'm interested in playing some emulators and watching some movies. I'm done now.

OK. I'm lost now an i'm an idiot. Need help. Everyone has been so helpful here so I came here first.

I have a QD. I also have a 1g MMC chip. I DO NOT use my QD as a cell phone. I have Sprint as a carrier and they don't support the N-Gage.

1. I downloaded the DVD convertor and got a DVD converted over the the correct file type fine and I got it into to the MMC chip. My phone recognizes the file. However, I do not have the DVD player in my applications file on my QD. How the hell do I get it?

2. I downloaded a bunch of emulators. They all require Bluetooth to connect with the QD. What do I do? My PC doesn't have it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a newbie to the Ngage collecting world, or at least kind of. My girlfriend got me a QD system for Valentine's day, so I can finally play all of the games I picked up while Gamestop/Eb were blowing them out. I'm at 41 games right now and am looking at getting some of the newer releases from LetsTalk.com. Are there any that are becoming harder to find? How many titles are there right now? I've seen a few emulators for the system, but what else can I do with it? I've already unlocked it and have a 128mb MMC, so I think I'm ready to go!

The NES emulator is SUPER COOL. The MAME and SMS emulators depend on the game you're running. The SNES emulator... not so much.


You can convert your DVD's into a file format the Ngage can read.

The rarest game I know of (and I'm not the expert... that would be classicb) would be Sega Rally. It was only released in the Pacific region (Australia, some Asian countries) and it SUCKS. Not very many tracks AND they didn't even bother to use the same tracks from the Arcade/Saturn version! Your car just seems to float along. It's the only game that hasn't been released in the States.

They probably will be the last and if it were any other company I'm sure they would have been canned long ago. I don't know how or why Nokia does it, but god love em. They can't be making any money on these things.

I think the true indicator will come at this years GDC in March. If no new games are announced then I think its safe to say we're not getting anymore games.

However, I think we will hear about some new games. I think Nokia wants to continue developing games so they have some really good titles when they launch the download system for their other Nokia Smartphones.

For people who don't frequent the N-Gage Arena it is still active and Nokia continues to hold tournaments where you can win stuff. Nokia is still active with the N-Gage and I would be surprised if we heard nothing come this March.

I could see Nokia giving up on the US market though since the N-Gage is all but dead here with only one online retailer. The N-Gage is much more popular overseas in Spain and Germany.


Also to add to what fishsandwich said I like the GB/GBC emulator for the N-Gage. It runs and looks great its really the only one I use.

[Slipdeath]

Nokia is already scheduled for E3, so I guess we might yet receive more games.

[classicb]

So letstalk.com decided to put release dates on their upcoming games. Who knows how accurate they are but i don't remember them ever doing this before.

Warhammer 40,000 - March 23rd, 2006
Civilization - March 28th, 2006
Atari Masterpieces 2 - April 18th, 2006
Payload - May 23rd, 2006

There could be something to this delay though since the Game Developers Conference is March 20-24. Maybe Nokia will have some big news. Nokia does have an event at the confrence called "The Next Generation of Mobile Gaming by Nokia"

[Slipdeath]

Fuck man after I get my N-Gage back, I fuckin run over it. Jesus today is probably one of the worst days of my life.

I ran into a GameStop yesterday that actually had Ngage games for sale. A whole shelf of them too, all $7 naturally. Ended up getting Elderscrolls, Xanadu, and Requiem of Hell. I think the only RPG I'm missing now it Rifts, which irnoically is the only game I've ever really wanted for the system.

Rifts WAS released right?

[classicb]

Rifts WAS released right?

it sure was but if you live in the US the only place you can get it is online here http://n-gage.letstalk.com I'd also recommend getting High Seize if you liked Advance Wars at all.

Fuck man after I get my N-Gage back, I fuckin run over it.

Nope , the screen inside is all messed up, but outside the case just has some serious scuffs/scratches and some buttons are missing.

Mine was sent thru a wash cycle and a partial drying and stil worked after all of that.

[neuropolitique]

I recently picked up an Ngage. I opted to pay $100 and get a cheaper mothy rate. Works out to be $20 less in the long run. I got 4 games at that time; Catan, Worms, Pocket Kingdom, and High Sieze. I was surprised to find a pack-in Tony Hawk when I received the system.

Today I went to Gamestop to see what they had. When I asked the manager if they had any, he said "No,....errr yes." Not a good sign. I picked up Glimmerati, The Roots, and Requiem of Hell, each $6.99. The guy who checked me out said Wow when Ibrought them up. I asked if it had been a long time since he sold any. He said it was the first time. O_O

Overall, I'd say that I am a bit surprised by the Ngage. I'm having more fun than I thought I would. But it is still a flawed machine.

I do have to say, though, that the game case design is brilliant. I keep two of those platic holders snapped together, so I can carry 8 games in one small package.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I'll second the comments made about Sega Rally being the rarest / hardest to get hold of N-Gage game out there. I got mine by pure chance, and I remember a time when we were all speculating whether or not it even existed...

Also, Nokia recently announced these games, so there may be hope yet:

Unreleased / Coming Soon

Atari Masterpieces - Volume II (March 06)
Hinter Wars: The Aterian Invasion (Just Announced)
NBA 2006 (Just Announced)
Payload (April 06)
Shade: Wrath Of Angels (Just Announced)
Shadow-Born (Just Announced)
SPIRITS (TBA)
Warhammer 40,000: Glory In Death (March 06)
Xyanide (Just Announced)[/i]

Whether or not all of them make it is another story... Although, I do agree with what was said above about Nokia maybe wanting a few more games added to the list ready for the new wave of compatable smartphones that they intend to integrate N-Gage technology in as standard...

[classicb]

Also, Nokia recently announced these games, so there may be hope yet:


Shade: Wrath Of Angels (Just Announced)
Xyanide (Just Announced)

I was under the impression that these got canned some time ago.


NBA 2006 (Just Announced)

I hadn't heard about this yet. Where did you see this?

[fishsandwich]

here are a couple of links.

http://ngage.dcemu.co.uk/
http://www.zophar.net/consoles/ngage.html

the verticle screen starts to become an issue with emulators. the Vampnet GBC (http://vampent.com/emu.htm) is the best emulator for the n-gage. It plays full speed and full screen. NES plays full speed but the screen options aren't that great.



GREAT. The GB emulator was so fantastic that I bought it. Then I had to reformat my memory card. Now Vampent's site (the emulator writers) has been down for four days and I can't get my activation code and my e-mails are bouncing. I'm back to SMS now.

Anyone know what happened to www.Vampent.com?

[fishsandwich]

UPDATE. Vampent is now back up and running... I have no idea what happened. I tried to make due with a SMS emulator with a bunch of SMS and GB game, but it just wasn't the same thing for many reasons. Number one- the games available for the SMS and GG just aren;t as good as the GB/GBC games, especially when you're talking about portability. The SMS games are fit to the N-gage screen, amking them weird-looking and the text near impossible to read. The GG games fare better as they are letterboxed, but the GG library simply isn't as good or as bountiful as that of the GB/GBC. Number two- the emulator just isn't as good as the GB/GBC one. It seems the emulator won't run the largest games (VF Animation being one) and you have to keep exiting out and going back to change games. It S a nice way to run rare GG games like Panzer Dragoon Mini and Gunstar Heroes, though. Plus the emulator is free. That being said, I'm glad Vampent is back.

aparently Civilization is shipping now on letstalk.com Several n-gage arena members have gotten their copies. I haven't ordered mine yet but I thought I'd give everybody the heads up that this one might be out.

Has anyone here got theirs yet?

[DreamTR]

I got mine, bar code is blacked out!

[classicb]

I got mine, bar code is blacked out!

hey have you gotten anything else recently?

[swlovinist]

Well, you can give Nokia crap about their advertising, but dang they sure stick with their products to the bitter end...I just pray that I can find some of these final games down the road. I also know how they are funding these games...I just sent them my cell phone bill, LOL

[DreamTR]

Atari Vol 2 is on its way to me...

[qbertandernie]

got vol. II today. i imagine everyone else will too. really poor job blacking out the bar code, but its nice they didnt try to update the games...it claims they are originals, and screen shots make it look that way too. i hate when the classic games are updated to appeal to younger audiences.

[fishsandwich]

Atari Volume II was waiting for me when I got home from vacation. I am charging my deck now and I shall be giving it a try shortly. I also just ordered Civilization from LetsTalk. It was my second order from LetsTalk and my second LetsTalk employee who seemed reasonably intelligent. Let's hope the luck continues!

:D

[swlovinist]

can someone explain the blacking out the barcode thing O_O.?

[qbertandernie]

i assumed they gave the item a barcode but because it has not been released for sale from a store that would require the bar code that it (the code) was reassigned. because the orders are all online, i guess theres no need for the code. this is just a guess, however.

anyone have more certain information?

[Slipdeath]

can anyone take a picture of the new games?

[fishsandwich]

can anyone take a picture of the new games?

Which ones? Atari Volume 2 and Civilization?

The bar code on Civilization is completely black. They did a much better job blacking it out than they did on Atari 2.

[qbertandernie]

civilization is shipping? im gonn a have to call letstalk...again

[classicb]

so we're almost done with collecting the physical mmc cards for the n-gage. we're at 54 including Sega Rally. it seems we'll only get two more with Payload and Warhammer. Nokia made it pretty clear that they're moving ahead to the download format. So it looks like our N-Gage collections will top out at 56 games.

I know there are other games Nokia has announced like Shadow Born but my thinking now is those games will be launch titles for their download system.

on a side note this thread is almost a year old now

I've heard the N-Gage is much more popular in certain overseas markets. Might they get some physical releases that the States might not get?

I'm really looking forward to Payload. Hate to hear that Shadowborn might ne download-only.

I'm glad this thread is still active. None of the gaming mags have reviewed any of the recent releases as far as I can tell. Gotta get my news somewhere!!!

[qbertandernie]

talked to the folks at 'letstalk' today...after convincing the salesgirl that they sold ngage games('sir, youll have to check with the supplier for games...we dont sell them'), she informed me that payload is listed as 'in stock', so we may see that sent out sometime next week.

Ah, you got a LetsTalk idiot. I have been lucky enough not to encounter one, but I've heard stories. When I called late last year, even my seemingly knowledgable salesman said that Atari Volume 2 was in stock. I wasn't... it still had months to go. They didn't bill me for it and instead automatically shipped it when it was released.

[chimp69]

Oh, no... I was charged. I guess my post might have given the impression that I was never billed. I was charged when they shipped it out several months later. There you have it.

[Slimedog]

Letstalk has the Warhammer 40K game listed as a new arrival and its off the Coming Soon list. Has anybody received this one yet? I've been putting off a big order until this one is out.

[Slipdeath]

Better question, is classicb alive?

[classicb]

Better question, is classicb alive? LOL

man i haven't had much time for games lately but I'm still keeping up with the N-Gage since no matter how busy i get I still always have my phone with me.

[Slipdeath]

Yeah me too man, fuckin women.

[Postermen]

Does anyone know what happened to the Leisure Suit Larry game that was supposed to come out around the same time as the Xbox and PS2 game?

[classicb]

Does anyone know what happened to the Leisure Suit Larry game that was supposed to come out around the same time as the Xbox and PS2 game?

It got cancelled

[Postermen]

do any prototypes exist of it?

[classicb]

i don't really follow that type of stuff but I do believe the game was at least part way through development so there might be something floating around out there.

[classicb]

Has anyone recieved Warhammer yet? Its listed as instock on letstalk.com now.

I didn't get a shipping confirmation but it disappeared off my back order list of two games. Now only Payload is left.

[K3V]

Just had to pop in and say something in this thread. I got an N-Gage the other day in the big clearance and I'm converted :)

First, I was able to unlock it to work with my T-Mobile SIM card. Then I got UltraMP3 on there, along with MAME and a handful of games. Then I got into checking out Smartmovie and its capabilities and am completely impressed with everything the N-Gage can do.

It's too bad the original system had such obvious design flaws that the general gaming public ran it into the ground with (sidetalkin, having to remove the battery to change games, etc). The QD really is a great little system, though I would prefer stereo output when listening to MP3's but I'll let that slide for it's versatility.

Games wise I've been enjoying Tony Hawk, Snakes, Worms World Party and King of Fighters. As far as the newer releases that are up on LetsTalk, has there been any indication how long they will stock the games? I'm definitely interested in High Sieze and Mile High Pinball and don't want to miss out on them if they'll be disappearing any time soon.

Wow, big rant...but I really am impressed with this little system. For the closeout price it was a steal.

[NESVIDIOT]

Not having read the whole 18 pages of this thread, I noticed the request for a pic of the spine of Virtua Tennis with graphics. You can see it here:

http://videogamecollectors.com/gallery/room_of_nintendoom/HPIM0388

I love my N-gage QD- although I probably would not have gotten into it if I hadn't found 29 titles at EB games just after X-mas 05- in the bargain bin at 2$ each tax incl Canadian. Makes making a collection REAL easy- especially when you buy up most of the available stock and resell the duplicates to pay off the stuff you want to keep.

[K3V]

I actually read all 18 pages of the thread :embarrassed: :D

Oh, I had another question - do any of you guys play in the N-Gage arena? Think it's worth getting a data account on my phone for it?

[qbertandernie]

guys at my EB told me that target was picking up the ngage...anyone else heard this rumor?

[classicb]

I wouldn't get a data account unless you're using it as your cell phone. You can access the arena through your computers internet with bluetooth. A quick search should turn up some instruction on how to do it.

I had a data account for a bit and it was pretty fun playing people over the arena on the bus or train. Now there aren't as many people online so you have to check the arena boards to see when they have events lined up. Pathway to Glory and High Seize are great arena games.

[heyricochet]

Warning for anyone ordering an n-gage through letstalk.com, theres no way to get the 4 free games listed on the site as available. I even tried calling them and they were completely lost. I eventually gave up, so my n-gage will be here either friday or saturday! Its going to be a great new phone, and a great match for my 33 games and car adapter I have. It is really a disappointment that sidetalkin and removing the battery is what drove the n-gage too far for the QD to bring it back, it really seems like a great phone.

[classicb]

Warning for anyone ordering an n-gage through letstalk.com,

as many of us here have discovered it really takes talking to the right person and finding that right person might take five different phone calls x_x some letstalk.com employees don't even know they sell n-gage games or even what a n-gage is. it is however also possible that the 4 free games is expired since they hardly ever update the site.

Cool, thanks. I am using it as my phone but maybe I'll look into getting a bluetooth adapter for my computer and get on that way.

[qbertandernie]

hey guys, anyone reading this thread i figured might be interested in seeing this. this is the fourth ngage display i know of, the other three being the wall mount two in one, single stand alone(like from cingular) and the two in one stand alone(which was about 6' tall).i just got this one today...too bad the GM made the guys take the ngages off...i was able to get another NFR though - Ashen.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/qbertandernie/display.jpg

EDIT: the photo makes the background look rainbow, but its all silver, with little swirls all over it.

[classicb]

yeah i just saw one of those the other day at a Gamestop in San Francisco. It was at the one in the mission if anyone was thinking about trying to get it. I personally don't have room for display units although i think they're cool.

[Slipdeath]

So whats the news on warhammer? And does anyone (classicb) have any pics on the last batch of games?

[qbertandernie]

ngage website has both payload and warhammer as "out now", so id guess letstalk should send them out within a couple of weeks. ive preordered both and havent heard either way.

[dojosky]

i have warhammer in my hands !! thanks to my friend !!!! he also has one himself I will let him announce it if he wants to chime in here and say it that he has it anyways i can take a pic of it soon ...

[suckerpunch5]

Hey, the 2006 E3 building has a huge N-Gage banner hanging from the front. Is Nokia going to announce something big/cool? Anyone heard anything about this? If anyone is going to E3, keep us posted. I don't expect much N-Gage news from the "usual suspects."

Link to webpage (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/05/07/sneak-peek-at-e3-with-pics/)

Just the picture (http://www.joystiq.com/media/2006/05/joystiqe3_convcent_cg6.jpg)

ok, maybe not huge, but pretty big . . .

[classicb]

Hey N-gage has a site for all their E3 info. They're are a bunch of videos up now that show new games and how the new system works.

http://www.n-gage.com/e3/

[dbiersdorf]

One - Who's Next? Announced.

[qbertandernie]

there were like 10 games there that are new...look again

[djbeatmongrel]

just got an ngage this week, i bought 15 games already and have 23 more waiting for me at my jobs hold draw. what place is the easiest to pick up on the rest of the games for cheap?

[Slimedog]

Ok, are the new games going to be released for the current NGage or are these for the upcoming NGage 2? I can't imagine any new development for the current system, but who knows. Oh and why a sequel to One? That was my least favorite of the mail order games.

I've been trying to read between the lines because I think its kind of unclear which games if any of the new ones will be playable on the old N-Gage hardware. All the new N-Gage games on the e3 site are for the smartphones. The smartphones aren't backward compatible with the original n-gage games. Games like One and System Rush are more like remixes than sequels although System Rush looks quite different.

If you watch some of the videos you can see they do have QD's at the booth and some are running Shadow Born. I'm guessing that we will still see a few more original N-Gage releases. Interesting they didn't re-code Pathway to Glory for the smartphones since it is one of the most popular arena games.

IGN has an article on their wireless section about N-Gages E3 show. Talks mostly about their x-box live type system but also mentions that Nokia still has plans for releasing a game style phone in the future. They also said that Nokia may also continue retail in addition to the downloadable format.

If they release another gaming style phone I'll keep with the system.

[classicb]

here are some photos just to follow up on my previous post about some new games running on the QD

http://www.engadget.com/media/2006/05/IMG_8133.jpg

[K3V]

Cool, more games is definitely a good thing. I saw a bit of Habbo Islands on the Nokia E3 page and it looks like something new and different for the system. Hopefully more of the new games run on the old QD - some of those new N-Series phones don't look exactly easy to game on.

Prior to the N-Gage I had a Nokia 3650 which is similar to the N-Gage but not nearly as easy or fun to play games on. Another gamer-style phone would be great, especially if it has a camera on it too.

[Slipdeath]

gag so does anyone have the new games...the last batch? :roll:

[fishsandwich]

gag so does anyone have the new games...the last batch? :roll:

I gotta ask too... has anyone in the USA gotten either Warhammer or Payload (I'm talking about the USA versions.)

Anyone? I've called LetsTalk.com and they are clueless.

:popcorn:

[qbertandernie]

warhammer is in stock at letstalk...i talked to a guy who was 'gonna try to get this shipped out' - but that was two weeks ago. they arent supposed to ship parts of orders anymore, so they wanted to wait until payload was released to ship warhammer. whenever that may be...ill try again and repost later.

[qbertandernie]

according to letstalk.com, who i am on the phone with now, warhammer should begin shipping soon, as payload has been cancelled. apparently my warhammer hasnt shipped because the entire order has to be ins tock for one item to ship, thus, since payload is not being produced, it was on hold indefinately. anyone with both games on preorder may want to calla nd get payload removed from thier order, which should allow warhammer to ship.

trouble? ask for Shonteah...

[classicb]

thanks for the info. I was waiting for Payload. I called and had it removed from my order. I wonder why they cancelled Payload? It wasn't that long ago they launched the official site. Maybe its being moved to a download only game.

http://www.n-gage.com/payload/

[qbertandernie]

no idea why they cancelled it. the girl i talked to said i was supposed to call them (letstalk.com) about that game having been cancelled (though i didnt know it had been). it was noted on my order that i was supposed to call them!

everytime i call, im more astounded by what they tell me...

[Slipdeath]

letstalk.com had Payload listed as a release for today. I guess thats not going to work out.

I recently got an N-Gage from the demo kiosk at the gamestop I work at (I kept one of the systems and the game with it before they tossed the display) and surprisingly enough, I think it's a pretty cool system. I need to pick up more games for it, and I have a good idea of where to look so I'm not too worried about that. What I am wondering about is, how rare/valuable are the demo games they had for the kiosks? I have SSX somewhere in my apartment and Fifa 2005, they're full games, SSX just has "Not for resale" printed on the label, and Fifa is on a card with a plain white label that says:

FIFA 2005
ver 093004
POS

and "NOT FOR SALE" diagonally across it in red. No EA logo or anything either, it looks like something that someone uneducated like myself would mistake as a test cart for Nokia. So yeah, I plan on keeping it all, especially since it was free, I was just wondering how the market was for promotion N-Gage stuff.

I also just opened up the back of the N-Gage to check the sim card in it and it has a blank sim card, and the serial label says "Property of Nokia PROTO" on it :d

Meh. I don't think they are incredibly valuable. I have picked up a few of them for $5. Does the Kiosk N-Gage have a battery, or can you only use it when it is plugged into the wall? I know another guy who got one, and it didn't have a battery. So, he ordered a battery from Nokia, but it still wouldn't work. I'm wondering if the kiosk N-gages are somehow different. Does anyone know?

I know another guy who got one, and it didn't have a battery. So, he ordered a battery from Nokia, but it still wouldn't work. I'm wondering if the kiosk N-gages are somehow different. Does anyone know?

Mine had a battery and worked just fine. It's a QD though, so I'm not sure if that makes any difference or not.

I recently got an N-Gage from the demo kiosk at the gamestop I work at (I kept one of the systems and the game with it before they tossed the display) and surprisingly enough, I think it's a pretty cool system. I need to pick up more games for it, and I have a good idea of where to look so I'm not too worried about that. What I am wondering about is, how rare/valuable are the demo games they had for the kiosks? I have SSX somewhere in my apartment and Fifa 2005, they're full games, SSX just has "Not for resale" printed on the label, and Fifa is on a card with a plain white label that says:

FIFA 2005
ver 093004
POS

and "NOT FOR SALE" diagonally across it in red. No EA logo or anything either, it looks like something that someone uneducated like myself would mistake as a test cart for Nokia. So yeah, I plan on keeping it all, especially since it was free, I was just wondering how the market was for promotion N-Gage stuff.

I have an original Ngage and a QD that were both demo units and they both run off a battery. The batteries look the same but the QD one is a little thicker and doesnt fit right in the original Ngage.

Yep, they come complete just like the retail ones including a seal and outer wrap.

LetsTalk is the only place I know that sells the American versions of these games. Too bad much of the staff are not so smart. If you get an idiot just hang up and try again.

Your only other option is ebay.

Have fun. I played the hell of of my QD last night.
