Nokia Teams Up With Vivendi Games

Nokia has decided to team up with Vivendi games, their mobile division, to bring Nokia users their legendary Crash Bandicoot game to the new N-Gage mobile gaming platform which should be out soon.

“Vivendi Games Mobile is one of the most respected publishers in mobile gaming,” said Gregg Sauter, Nokia’s director of third party publishing. “Crash Bandicoot is a gaming icon as well as a global powerhouse, having sold more than 33 million units worldwide. With its fun appeal to people of all ages and incredible graphics, the Crash Bandicoot franchise is the perfect fit for N-Gage.”

“We are excited to offer Nokia customers the opportunity to enter the thrilling world of Crash Bandicoot and play a number of award winning titles from the popular Crash franchise,” said Paul Maglione, president of Vivendi Games Mobile. “We look forward to working with Nokia to offer entertaining, innovative mobile games that tap into the performance and innovation of the N-Gage application and Nokia’s mobile devices.”

Crash Bandicoot follows the original storyline where the crazy marsupial must save the world. If you’ve played this game before, you’ll know that it’s a real barrel of laughs. For those of you who haven’t, Crash Bandicoot involves the scenario where the player must take on the role of Crash (yes the bandicoot hero) to defeat the game’s villain and mad scientist, Dr. Neo Cortex. As simple as that.
