Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land While I still have to stifle a shudder every time I read the name, Nokia’s transformation of N-Gage from useless taco phone to global mobile community-focused gaming platform is moving full-speed ahead, with Capcom announcing support for the platform in 2008. Capcom is the first Japanese company to show support for the fledgling platform with the tainted name. Capcom Europe’s mobile director Yosuke Yoneda believes. “Capcom is dedicated to creating great mobile games, and believes that N-Gage will allow us to bring some of our most famous franchises to the platform. Our dedication to quality and creative thinking has seen the company produce a series of ground-breaking titles, with stunning visuals and in-depth game play, never before seen on the mobile”.
While I am still of the school of thought that mobile games lack depth because they are being played on phones in public toilets, a really enjoyable mobile version of Mega Man could be just the thing to turn me around…that is if I hadn’t sworn never to buy anything with the word N-Gage on it three years ago.
Peter Molyneux, he’s a thinker. So, when he looks at mobile phone games, what does he think? He prefers the DS and the PSP. Smart man. Here’s why: There’s no doubt in my mind that we will be playing more games on mobile devices. What those mobile devices will be, and what they’re capable of is still very much up for grabs.
They’re changing as fast as the early computer games industry changed, if not faster. My one wish for that is that mobile phones were made with some sympathy for games to be played on them, because they’re not, and that must be immensely frustrating for people developing for them.
Can’t see how this would work, but Capcom have announced that their mobile version of Street Fighter II is now good to go for the North American market. It’s a bare package too, being the original Street Fighter II with it’s original eight characters and absence of any champion, turbo or hyper fighting. Such a great game on your phone sounds a little neat, but on a narrow screen and with phone buttons? I’ll pass, thanks. If you’re a little more adventurous and fancy a bash, it’s available from Capcom’s mobile site. Street Fighter II Mobile [Capcom]
At the end of the QuakeCon keynote Todd Hollenshead had Katherine Anna Kang, founder of Fountainhead Entertainment, take to the stage to show off a bit of Orcs & Elves for the DS.
After a bit of play, she announced that Orcs & Elves II will be hitting mobiles this holiday.
