]]> It’s nothing new. Video games on mobile phones go hand in hand nowadays. Nokia milked this market with the N-Gage system, and there are now new efforts to doing more on your mobile phone in terms of gaming. MMO’s (massive multiplayer online gaming) in phones shouldn’t be too far in the drawing board.

World of Warcraft

Crafting massive online games for phones takes into account the engagement level of players. Right now, it would be a little iffy to create a full immersive experience for online games on phones because the fact that phones are put down in the house and picked up when one leaves makes engaging gaming … iffy. There are breakthroughs — checking the status of your World of Warcraft character on your phone is a little like showing off trading cards to friends.

(RUMOR) http://www.everyjoe.com/cellphone9/xbob-live-n-gage-win-rumor/ http://www.everyjoe.com/cellphone9/xbob-live-n-gage-win-rumor/#comments Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:27:31 +0000 Jayvee Fernandez http://www.cellphone9.com/xbob-live-n-gage-win-rumor/ Post from: Cellphone9

]]> Only Nokia can pull something like this off. With the online gaming stores of XBOX Live, PSN and the Wii Shop fast gaining popularity, Nokia wants in. And they definitely have something to show for it. And yeah come to think of it, they are the only mobile phone hardware manufacturer that goes “360″ with its product line as tey support the hardware and software for quick deployment of applications to millions of phones around the world.

Aki Jarvilehto from Nokia told a panel at Develop Mobile 2008 conference that they are looking to expand their Ngage games into other platforms. He said they are looking into “concepts where we use the same assets for Xbox Live Arcade or PlayStation Online.” This is interesting because it could mean that I can play a game on my phone, save my stats, then continue playing on the Xbox when I get home.

Yes, there is a possibility that the Nokia N-Gage and the XBOX Live and PSN store will see some sort of collaboration. They say that Web 3.0 is going to be all about mobile phones and application scaling. This might actually spearhead the industry.

Rumors, rumors, rumors. But wow.
