What would you like to see on N-Gage in the long term? We've come up with ten suggestions which we think are do-able and would be good for the platform, click here and see what you think of them. As always, comments are very welcome. http://hongblog.net
Read on in the full article.
Nice article. I agree with you on most of the cases but a few.
2. Actually they should bring Lament Island 2 to N-Gage. Already many of us have played LI, and it'll not be convincing for us to buy it once more. A souped up version (with some Arena features and multiplay - God knows how to implement them in such a game) will be okay though.
7. Regarding location-based games, don't forget that N73 is a part of the N-Gage. It'll be too much to ask N73 customers to buy a BT GPS for gaming (who actually don't need it).
9. To me, lifestyle games are strict No-No, and it is so, for a section of gamers. But any way, Nokia will make them.
And I agree about releasing the fanpacks. It is a really cool concept that the original N-Gage featured, and should be continued.
According to me, the most important thing that Nokia should do, is to force Gameloft to upgrade Asphalt 3. It seems to be way short now.
sandy_1988, thanks for the feedback!
You may not like Lament Island, however I happen to think it's one of the best phone games ever made, and I know I'm not the only one. The way to resolve this difference is to include a demo on an N-Gage release of Lament Island. If there's a demo, then people will be able to tell if it's the kind of game that appeals to them without spending any money at all.
You're right that any GPS games wouldn't work on the N73, N81 or N93 without a GPS add-on, but the location-based stuff could also be achieved without GPS using phone tower location, which is what The Journey did. Alternatively Nokia might make them GPS-only releases, perhaps when GPS is a standard feature in all their new smartphones (which seems to be about to happen very very soon, even the upcoming cheap 6220 Classic has built-in GPS).

5. Bluetooth controller - it's ludicrous that not only is there no bluetooth game controller, but even more ludicrous, no bluetooth mouse support in S60/Symbian as standard (or even as non-standard). Has anyone got ANY idea why this seems to be totally off limits? Bluetooth mice support have been asked for loads of times on Forum Nokia over years, and Nokia basically stonewalls such enquiries. It's no use calling these things "Multimedia Computers" and then being scared of providing basic support (at no extra hardware cost incidentally) for the most basic of computer input devices.
ajck, I totally agree.
Last summer I spent a lot of time doing a series of articles using the N95 as a desktop computer through TV Out, and it would have been so much better if it had been compatible with some kind of pointing device:
