If Ideaworks3D is involved then this game will probably be done very well, and push the N-Gage platform to its limits.
All their ports have been brilliant: Colin McRae, Tony Hawk, Pandemonium, The Sims etc. And their own System Rush games have been pretty good too.
Perhaps Ideaworks' only major blunder can be summed up in two words: auto run. 😉
This is great news 😊
I'm a big fan of the Castlevania & Suikoden series from Konami, and it would be great if they appeared on the N-Gage.
On a side note, the Airplay SDK allows Nintendo DS games to be ported to the new N-Gage platform, so maybe Konami might consider some of their DS titles as well as mobile titles?

The press release does talk about games in the plural, and Konami has already done a mobile version of Castlevania, so it would make sense if we saw some form of Castlevania on N-Gage.
Has Suikoden had a mobile version made of it?

It would be great to see the PS1 game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night released for N-Gage too.

Does anybody have an idea where can I get the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear II: Solid Snake? I know for a long time that Konami made Java versions of them but I simply cant find them.
machimshin, your best bet would be to install an NES or MSX emulator on your phone and run the original versions of the games.
There are NES and MSX emulators for N-Gage-compatible phones, they use Symbian S60 3rd Edition (aka S60v3) applications so any emus compatible with that standard will work.
See our article about emulation on S60 3rd Edition:

This is one game i won't be thinking twice about buying (but i'll still try before i buy it as MGA (Metal Gear Acid on PSP was horrible, but portable Ops was good).
Even so this is gonna rock on the n-gage!
