The inclusion of an N-Gage hot title in the N93's ROM didn't escape Ewan's beady eye. In this editorial he argues that with the N70 and N93 each containing an N-Gage game, Nokia's next generation gaming platform is well and truly 'in beta'.
Did you notice that, at the start of the week, Nokia showed us the future of four Nseries devices? Nope, you’re reading that correctly. As well as the N93, N73 and N72, there was also the reinforcement of where the N-Gage Platform is going.
The specifications of the N93 give it away – bundled in the firmware will be the game “System Rush – Evolution”. System Rush is a futuristic racer that’s currently one of more impressive titles for the N-Gage phone. But with the N-Gage phones still based on Symbian OS 6.1 and S60v1, there’s no way to get the applications into the latest v2 and v3 S60 devices without some serious re-coding of the games. So the dual-meaning of the title is true in every sense.
