The N-Gage service was Nokia's mobile gaming platform that is available for several Nokia S60 smartphones. It is a follow-up to the N-Gage handheld game console. N-Gage is a part of Nokia's Oviinitiative.

Compatibility
Because N-Gage is a software based solution, the first generation MMC games are not compatible with the new platform,[3] though some games are making a comeback in form of a sequel (e.g. System Rush: Evolution) or a remake/port (e.g. Mile High Pinball). Similarly, games developed for this next-gen N-Gage platform do not work on the original N-Gage nor N-Gage QD, adding to the fact that newer S60 software, including the N-Gage client and games[citation needed], aren't binary-compatible with older S60 devices and vice-versa.
[edit]DeviceS
So far, the N-Gage website lists the following devices as compatible with the new N-Gage platform: Nokia N78, N79,[4] N81, N81 8GB, N82-1, N85,[4] N86 8MP, N95-1, N95-2 8GB, N96, Nokia 6210 Navigator,[5] 6710 Navigator,[6] 6720 Classic, E52,[7] E55, E75,[8] N86,[9] N97,[10] Nokia 5320 XpressMusic,[11] Nokia 5630 XpressMusic [12] and Nokia 5730 XpressMusic [13]
Due to memory issues, hinted in an interview in February 2008,[14] support for the Nokia N73, N93 and N93i was cancelled.
Closure of N-Gage
On October 30, 2009, Nokia announces that no new N-Gage games will be produced, effectively killing the N-Gage. All N-Gage services, which includes purchasing of games and various online features, had reportedly ceased operation at the end of 2010. AND the n-gage application is not available on the official website.
