Nokia is planning to announce more details of its next-gen N-Gage platform
at next week's GDC show in San Francisco, but some game news is dribbling
out beforehand. Glu Mobile has just announced that it'll be releasing an
eight-player multiplayer version of its World Series of Poker Texas Hold'em
game for N-Gage, along with 'a selection' of other titles. We'd like to see
a whizzy 3D version of Super KO Boxing, and a multiplayer Ancient Empires
game, while we're also intrigued as to whether Glu's licence for Project
Gotham Racing would cover an N-Gage version. With Symbian and Windows Mobile
versions on the way, we're hoping it does. "We're excited to be part of
Nokia's mobile gaming efforts, and are impressed with the offering that
Nokia has brought together with its new N-Gage platform," says Glu's
European boss Kristian Segerstråle.
