The German mobile game company Fishlabs has announced it is to release five games on the N-Gage platform. Powerboat Challenge, Rally Master Pro and Snowboard Hero will appear in 2009, while Galaxy On Fire and Blades & Magic are coming in 2010. The full press release is below.
Read on in the full article.
Blades And Magic is the first RPG announced for the new N-Gage platform (if you don't count COTD) so hopefully that will please N-Gagers who were calling for this genre.
These are the Java versions (the N-Gage versions should have upgraded graphics and other features), click on the phone screens to start the videos:

Excellent! I look forward to see the N-Gage versions of Blades & Magic and Rally Master Pro!
Just to give it a more n-gage feel (and to post on blogs/forums) lol i threw this together.... as you know the pics are from the Java/ SIS Versions.
but they all look great! 😃
i must admit fishlab games have been some of the best mobile games i have played especially deep sub oddessey and Galaxy on fire, but fail to get excited about galaxy on fire on ngage. especially when i will have to wait a year to get it and a sis version has been out for over a year already. and galaxy on fire 2 is due to be released at the end of this month. i also wonder how much better the graphics on the ngage will be going by previous ports from existing games where the difference in graphics is marginal at most. think the deal will be good for fishlabs though and maybe in the years to come a custom made game for ngage will be developed stretching it to its full potential
Of all the games mentioned I only know 2 of them.
(That is played them myself)
Blades and magic would be fun to have on N-gage, perhaps Rally Pro also depending on how they change the gameplay.
emo185 and invocil - which games are .sis I thought all of their games were J2ME. Which is why i was so excited as we r not going to get any more stupid .sis ports, we are going to get new games made for n-gage, hopefully on the level of fishlabs iphone games
Lumo, I think all of these games are ports from Java and/or Symbian, but with enhanced graphics and possibly other features too.
However, I don't mind that as long as the ports are good, and if they sell well maybe Fishlabs will write something exclusively for N-Gage.
ohhhh boy! this is something i can't wait for! i have always loved Fishlabs. it all started with the old V-Rally (in association with I-Play) that had such wonderful graphics and gameplay even on low-end phones. i can't wait to see what they do with the N-Gage platform. what i am almost certain about, though, is that they are gonna take it to a whole new level and give EA and GL a run for their money
