The N-Gage came up in conversation on Discord yesterday, which prompted me to take a new Side-talkin' pic!

Another launch title prototype added to my #Nokia N-Gage collection. This time it's Super Monkey Ball by #SEGA. 🙂

This build is from April 25th, 2003, so quite old. Must be the E3 demo.

Got myself a working Taco Phone - Nokia N-Gage (NEM-4), released in 2003. Original model feels more ergonomic and easier to use than later Nokia N-Gage QD, but it is required to turn the device off and remove battery to replace game card

Nokia N-Gage
(2003)
Siekiant konkuruoti su „Nintendo Game Boy Advance“ pristatomas revoliucinis hibridinis įrenginys, sujungiantis mobilųjį telefoną ir nešiojamą žaidimų konsolę. Tai buvo pirmasis telefonas optimizuotas žaidimams su 3D grafika, stereo garsu ir multiplayer per Bluetooth ar internetą (N-Gage Arena).

Symbian OS 6.1, TFT 2.1 colio ekranas (176x208 pikselių, 4096 spalvos), 104 MHz ARM procesorius, 3.4 MB atmintis (plėčiama MMC kortele), VGA kamera (0.3 MP), GPRS ryšys, Bluetooth 1.1, FM radijas, baterija 850 mAh (4 val. žaidimų, 200 val. budėjimo), 137 g svoris, dydis 134 x 70 x 20 mm.

Nepaisant pastangų sukurti specialius game-play mygtukus ir pritraukti garsius žaidimų pavadinimus, N-Gage nesugebėjo sujungti abiejų pasaulių. Skambinant telefoną reikėjo laikyti šonu prie ausies, todėl vartotojai jį ironiškai praminė „Taco Phone“.

Okay, so hear me out

SSX Out of Bounds was released on the N-Gage "exclusively", but was later ported to the Gizmondo as SSX 3, even though both are *kinda* a portable version of SSX3. Unlike the GBA version of SSX 3, which doesn't have much to do with SSX 3?

Anyway I'm losing my mind and I'm going to try and make a comparison video of the N-Gage and Gizmondo versions of the same game with different names

Aquí alcanzamos la cuspide del juego móvil, a partir de aquí se fue poco a poco enshitificando con micropagos, dlcs, lootboxes, servicios, subscripciones y dejaron de ser juegos.

Que olvidada está la epoca #j2ME ( curiosamente la #ngage si q se ha mantenido en el candelero, formato físico y esas cosas 😓) y q juegarrales hay.

Y si, es un glorioso #nokian95 (el cual me deja instalar todo, cosa q no deberia xo no recuerdo haberlo desprotegido 🤯👌)

Hungary has banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which essentially means Pride. Today over 500,000 people in Budapest turned up for a Pride march and told the government to: 'Fuck off!'.
