Nokia may have binned its N-Gage gaming brand, but it’s not stopped the mighty Finns from pushing ahead with some next-gen mobile gaming. Espoo’s chief games bod says some top new titles will still hit the Ovi Store before year end, showing off new technology too!
Nokia Conversations sat down with Mark Ollila, director of X-Media Solutions at Nokia and the man in charge of games on the Ovi Store, to talk about the future of games on Nokia now that N-Gage is no more. He let slip that two or three more games are due from Nokia on the Ovi Store this year, with some tricks up their virtual sleeves.
“Two are more strategic in nature, showing off technology innovation, but again fun game experiences,” he said.
Ollila didn’t reveal the name of the games being prepped, but it’s good to see Nokia planning on stealing some thunder back from the mushrooming games catalogue on the iPhone App Store. We’ll let you know when Nokia’s envelope pushing home grown games hit the Ovi Store, but in the meantime, you can see the full interview by giving the play button a big fat click.
