Nokia’s N-Gage platform making a comeback?

Does anyone remember the words ‘Nokia N-Gage’? A few years ago, the N-Gage platform was meant to be a worthy competitor to the other handhelds on offer at the time but we all know it turned out to be a failed venture for Nokia.

Well fresh news from the mobile phone company today have indicated that the N-Gage might be having another crack at the gaming market after registered users for the service has ‘Accelerated’.

As reported by Kotaku, the N-gage used to be an optional install on many of Nokia’s phone models, but now the company have changed that process as N-Gage now comes pre-installed on a number of newer models, which has led to the increase in users.
