sega & nokia

now, i know you guys are nintendo fanatics here, but i just wanted to get some thoughts on what i thought was a cool development. nokia is buying sega.com and the "SNAP" technology from sega, which will be used for online gaming. i wasn't sure about what the wireless gaming would be like for the n-gage, even after demoing what i could of the system and preordering it, but this really perks my interest... there's also all kinds of cool-sounding stuff in the works under the name "nokia n-gage arena", like shadow-character swapping so you can compete against your mate's best times and scores.

whew, sorry for the long post,t here's more on these things here:

It'll probably have a bit of hype but won't comepete wht the GBA

Sega is working closely with quite a few classic developers. I personally feel that the N-Gage will be based on pure hype. The console's developers claimed supreme graphics, but from what I've seen, they don't really surpass the GBA's level. But, the increasing partnership between the two - Sega and Nokia - I doubt will do well in the long run for I don't think consumers are ready for a device like the N-Gage.
