One of the big turn-offs about the Ngage, for me at least, is the high price for a game. New titles are released at
$34.99, which is just unacceptable. Why? Aren't new GBA games the same price? Exactly. That's why Ngage's should be
cheaper. The library of Ngage titles hasn't proven itself like the GBA lineup. Until it does, charging a premium is
just a slap in the face to those of us who would like to give the platform a chance.
Enter, wisdom. Nokia has announced that new price tiers have been adopted for both hardware and software. The QD will
run for $100, and games will range from $15 to $25. More like it. Naysayers will say this is just a fire sale, and that
Nokia is desperate. Nah. They see the quality of games for their device on the rise, and they're getting
aggressive.
