Beware citizens, for it would appear that the T-Virus has mutated, and has now taken to resurrecting not only the recently deceased, but also mobile platforms thought long since dead. Or at the very least irrelevant. Gamasutra reports that Capcom is bringing a game based on its upcoming CGI flick, Resident Evil: Degeneration, to Nokia's N-Gage service, which (re)launched earlier this year and is available on multiple Nokia smartphones.
According to the report, the movie tie-in will feature two separate modes of play and 3D graphics designed to both show off the platform's capabilities and illustrate Capcom's "dedication to N-Gage," a fascination we imagine will blur the line between devotion and necrophilia when the title launches later this year.

PS. The "cell phone" is a pile of crap encased in plastic and old melted down Sega gamegears.

This makes no sense Sony is making the movie for Capcom and so you would think the PSP would get a Resident Evil game before the N-Gage. The PSP has still not had a RE game and the PSP is selling pretty well and the last time the N-Gage system sold like crap. So why give a game to that system over one that is selling.

Because it will either suck, or be a Resident Evil Gaiden remake, which will suck.

The DS/Wii owners DID get their proper versions of RE games: The Wii got Resident Evil 4, and the DS got that Resident Evil 1 remake.
If anything, the PSP needs a Resident Evil game..

No-one.
The N-gage app is in most new Nokia phones by default, and is utterly incompatible with that old thing from 4 years ago.
Its not a console, its a "platform" now, apparently.

There is probably more money in the mobile market than PSP or even DS right now. Cheap to develop too, Nokia are practically giving away Ngage dev kits.
Oh and Hooked on Creatures of the Deep is a great Ngage game, but thats the only good one so far.

This guy is a racist loser Joystiq and I've reported this comment. Just wanted to repost it so that others can see what type of individual he is.
I'm sorry but nothing on this Earth is worth someone stooping to that low of a level.
I wonder if Joystiq will ban Ninja for his blatantly racist remarks...

Is the only reason you hate Sony with all your heart and soul is because of that old white PSP ad below? I hope it isn't just that man.

While I don't like to pick sides, you're not exactly helping yourself.

I hope you realize that when I was being "racist", I was merely joking, pushing AzureKnight's buttons, which obviously succeeded in pissing the little shit off.
I suppose it was a low blow, the unwritten rule here must be when insulting the other commenters, never bring race/ethnicity/gender/sexual orientation, etc. into the mix. : )
AzureKnight, one thing I can agree with you on is your dislike of Street Fighter 4 and the direction its heading in.
I'm sorry that that "racist" PSP commercial pissed you off so bad you hate Sony and everyone who purchases their products. May I suggest therapy?
