Now they just need games, not even good games, justmore games and a better system and they will be all set!

As someone who's played literally every N-Gage game released, I gotta say there are quite a few good ones. Last year alone, I can think of 5 games I'd classify as "really good." The QD as a platform is pretty user friendly, too. It feels decent in your hands, the screen is nice, and the button layout is comfortable.

I'm not saying it's a PSP killer, but I think it gets a lot of undeserved negativity from press and gamers alike. Now it's priced closer to what people would be willing to pay.

Wow, this is some great news!

cool, looks like ill buy a QD for my brother(he still uses that old one where its a pain to switch games lol)

Wow five really good games!!!!

Wow!!!!

Those are probably the only 5 games released last year. And the fact you bought a system shows how much taste you have and how different our tastes are.

I'm not going to stick my neck out to defend the platform -- especially against someone with such obvious ill will towards it (not to mention someone who's probably never played it).

The fact that I own an N-Gage shows how much taste I have? Mm'kay. You buy toilet paper; does that show how much of an asswipe you are? 6 of one, half-a-dozen of the other, far as I'm concerned. You're a good reason why I don't bother with the political forum on CAG.

I beleive the amount og N-Gage games is higher then Virtual boy, Game.com, and Neo Geo Pocket Color.

I don't know if I agree with N-Gage being better than NGPC since I love the many fighting games on that system.

You should see the video of One. It looks promising.

Good news. I just bought a used N-Gage and really like it (at that price; I would feel ripped off at $200). The games are a tad expensive right now. $25 (for a top tier game, I assume) is a lot more reasonable.

[greydemise]

this is pretty good news, thanks OP..i dno..i just might pick one up for that price..

This is even sweeter for the fact that Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory will be the first game to introduce the new price point for games.

[Spoon_si]

this system never really excited me, but I'm not goin to bash it like others. there is always a few great titles on every system ever released.

But the virtual boy on the other hand, was just plain wrong...

$100 is nice but, I'll wait til this system is dead then I'll pick it out of the clearence bin for $20... just to collect it...

I definitely will be picking it up.
