The original generation N-Gage had some really good games which got great reviews and many dedicated fans, but they went almost unnotioced by the gaming world because of the N-Gage's disastrous launch. Over on All About N-Gage, we're asking you which classic gen N-Gage games deserve a second chance on the Next Gen N-Gage platform. Come on over and vote!
Read on in the full article.
It's probably not the best timing, bit Colin McRae rally was the most kick-ass driving game on the N-Gage, it was so close to the PS1 version.
Upgrade it even further for the new hardware and it would be a fitting tribute to the guy.
Fully agree Colin McRae Rally was brilliant for is time...:icon14:
To me the best game were Pathway to Glory. Reaaally cool games, specially because they had multiplayer up to 4 people.
It was a good game that could level itself with PSP games.
Both games should come back!
Colin Mcrae on N-Gage was excellent, the developers of the port were Ideaworks3D, who somehow always knew how to push N-Gage hardware right to the limit without losing any playability (they also did probably the three best launch ports, Tony Hawk, Tomb Raider and Pandemonium, as well as their own original title System Rush). Thankfully Ideaworks3D are working on the Next Gen platform.
I doubt we'll be seeing the Colin Mcrae name any more though, given the circumstances. If I understand correctly the new PC/console release Colin Mcrae Dirt is the last in the series. That wouldn't stop Codemasters doing new rally games, but they'd have to find a new brand for them.
Hands down I would have to go with Pathway to Glory. That was an excellent game that I really think would have done well for itself if they ported it to GBA (at the time). I never got around to playing the sequel (PtG: Ikusa Isles) as the platform kind of tanked around its release.
From a pen & paper RPG nerd standpoint, I'd like to see Rifts: Promise of Power revisited. Great lore filled universe that can be turned into a big license (I think there's a movie in the works). Was shocked that they chose the N-Gage as their platform to foray into video games... Talk about limited market potential...

If they re-released it on Next Gen, it would have huge market potential, more than any console. I just wish they WOULD re-release it on Next Gen.
I'd like to see Pandemonium on the new n-gage platform
