This is going to come as a huge shock to you, but Nokia has announced that it's no longer supporting the N-Gage platform. It's just -- we never expected something like this to happen, to tell you the truth. For all intents and purposes, it seemed like the N-Gage would be around forever, a platform thriving in the portable space like no device has before it. Look at the iPhone, the DS, the PSP and even the fallen Gizmondo and it's quite apparent the N-Gage has always been the platform to beat.

Even though Nokia will halt all support for the N-Gage, it's still going to roll up all of its games into the Ovi Store, where N-Gage users will be able to access the content until September 2010. Just, uh, don't expect any new games over the next year, as Nokia will not be publishing anything for the device from here on out and any games that use community features will have those features disabled come September 2010. Anything you purchased is yours to keep, of course.

Now, if you'll excuse us, we're going to pour one out for the bounty of amazing games that we'll no longer get to play.

It honestly took me 20 minutes to remember what an N gage was.

Then i spent another 20 minutes thinking about Captain Picard.

I wonder if it'll still work as a phone.

Geocities, and now this?! Death comes in threes. I'm scared....

HURK~~°

i thought taht thing died about 10 minutes after it was born o-O

later this year it'd be awesome if sega announced they no longer supported the dreamcast.

Actually, that announcement was notable for being really early (it was the same month the Gamecube and Xbox came out), not absurdly late.

The last Dreamcast games published by Sega of Japan were the 2007 releases Trigger Heart Exelica and Karous.
