After countless delays Nokia has revealed that its revamped N-Gage platform will finally go live next week. Electric Pig reports that the mobile giant is putting the finishing touches to the games service as we speak, with punters able to download new games and compete against other people from next Tuesday.
N-Gage will launch with a somewhat limited line-up of games, including Brothers in Arms, The Sims 2 Pets and FIFA 08, with a broader range of titles promised shortly after launch. What's more, you don't need a pasty-shaped handset to play them either, because the N-Gage service is designed to eventually work with the entire range of Nokia's N-series of phones – although initially it's only compatible with the N81, with N95 and N93 owners able to get in on the action at the beginning of next year.
