N-Gage

with the exception that those systems were fairly priced, and didn't DESERVE to die like the N-gage. I realize that that's not really the point of your post, but comparing the N-gage to the Neo Geo Pocket or Gamegear is just comical. [glow=navy,2,300]Yeah, really. At least the gamegear had some exclusive games like a sonic series exclusive to the handheld system and others and had some games that were pretty good. I don't know much about the neo-geo but I heard that there were some good ports on it. All that I have heard about the N-Gage is bad stuff.[/glow]

The N-gage recently dropped it's price from 299$ to 199$. Does this make anyone want to buy it?

[glow=navy,2,300]I could still buy a GBA and have a great cell phone deal for that much (which I wouldn't want because I already have a GBA and don't want a cell phone). My point is, 199 really isn't a deal for a half assed handheld and an akward looking phone. That is what it should be regular price, or even lower than that. I probably wouldn't even bother with it as low as 99 dollars becuase there are really no exclusive or even good games.[/glow]

Does this make anyone want to buy it? ... well it makes it more REASONABLE to buy it but... still No. If it had some decent exclusive games... i would understand why people would still want to buy it but still No. If it had some AWESOME exclusive games then... I would consider... maybe...

Listen to this
Nokia's N-Gage sold less than 5,000 units across the entire United States during its first week of release. This extremely low figure accounts for both videogame retailers and cellular huts... For sake of comparison, Nintendo's Game Boy Advance sold over 540,000 units during its first week of release in the U.S.
now isn't that embarassing.

Hahahahahahaha. It sure is embarassing. Maybe if its games weren't mediocre at best or if there were actually games you couldn't get better versions of on other systems, then it might've sold more. Kind of sad how it got a price drop so quickly.

So less than 1% of what the GBA sold eh. That should send developers a message. I wonder how many more games we'll even see for it.

Did anyone on this board purchase an N-Gage? I doubt it'll last until christmas. Oh, and just to note, the highest score an N-gage game recieved was a 6.8 and that was Tony Hawk Pro skater

I didn't realize it was possible to rate one of those below 8.5. I can see some control issues you might have though...

All that I have to say on this is... I feel EXTREMELY sorry for the 5,000 people who bought the N-Gage, and ESPECIALLY for the ones that got it for the wireless MULTIPLAYER ;D ;D ahahahahahah! suckas
