The campaign enables customers with a selected Nokia phone to order a fun mini-game free of charge, and share the game via Bluetooth connection with another compatible Nokia mobile phone.
Gerard Wiener, vice president of Nokia’s Games Business Program, said, "The N-Gage Academy located only at N-Gage.com, is our way of showing how easy it is to download games onto your Nokia mobile phone."
"Gamers can also send the mini-game to their friends by Bluetooth. The N-Gage Academy campaign shows everyone that mobile gaming is fun and that everyone can play. This is also something we want to do with our next generation of mobile gaming on Nokia smartphones – with fantastic gaming quality," he said.
Visitors to the N-Gage Academy (http://www.n-gage.com/academy) can simply send a mini-game to another compatible Nokia mobile phone, either by WAP/GPRS settings or, by downloading the mini-game ZIP file to a personal computer for transfer via Bluetooth or MMC, with at least 2MB of memory.
The game is presented by N-Gage QD, the gamers phone and can also be played and sent virally from N-Gage.com to a friend’s PC.
The N-Gage game deck is an innovative mobile device that is creating an entirely new market for the games industry. Built for active gamers, the N-Gage platform is the first mobile and connected game deck to feature online high-quality 3D multiplayer game play over Bluetooth wireless technology and GPRS.
