Nokia Takes N-Gage Service for S60 Smartphones Live

Nokia has just made its long-anticipated N-Gage gaming service available for select S60 smartphones — Nokia N81, N81 8GB, N82, N95, and N95 8GB, with promised additional support for Nokia N73, N93, and N93i coming soon.

The service, also known as “N-Gage 2.0,” is the spiritual follow-up to Nokia’s original standalone N-Gage handheld gaming device (released in 2003), but is designed to leverage the advanced capabilities of modern smartphones and allow users to play the platform’s games directly from their supported S60 handsets. Currently, N-Gage’s library is comprised of Asphalt 3: Street Rules, Brain Challenge, World Series of Poker Pro Challenge, and Hooked On: Creatures of The Deep, with many more titles in the pipeline.

Nokia is expected to make an official announcement about the service on Monday.
