Nokia has tied up with Indiagames , publisher and developer of mobile, PC and online games, to bring selection of their mobile game brands to Nokia’s N-Gage mobile gaming platform . As part of its association with Nokia, Indiagames plans to introduce a variety of games across genres that aims to appeal to mobile gamers of different skill sets.
Vishal Gondal, CEO, Indiagames said, “Working with Nokia on the N-Gage platform is a great opportunity for us to deliver great content for a global audience. We believe in Nokia’s vision of making it easy for people to find and buy high-quality mobile games and we are excited to bring some of our well-known brands to the N-Gage platform.”
He added that there has been a great void in the experiential gaming space and the new N-Gage platform would effectively address this and hence make mobile games entertaining and accessible to consumers. Also, the association with Nokia would make it easier for gamers to access to their portfolio and offer their games to a wider audience, through N-Gage.
Meanwhile, Nokia also announced the SNAP Mobile Compliance Testing Program , an initiative that aims to ensure that all SNAP Mobile connected games offer people a consistent game-playing experience. The two-part program includes free initial testing tools for developers to establish a higher standard for connected mobile Java games coming to market. The SNAP Mobile platform currently supports a wide variety of Java MIDP2.0 compliant phones and has a rapidly growing selection of connected mobile games with the variety and level of challenge that aims to appeal to players of all ages.
