Resident Evil: Degeneration game infecting N-Gage
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.

Huh interesting... I wonder if this is Nokia’s way of competing with the iphone? Anyway it’s hilarious that their trying to resurrect the n-gage with resident evil.
“Don’t touch that phone!! ..... it’s infected with the T-virus..”

Games based on movies based on games for a cell phone, Capcom is worse then Sega.
&rew @ Sep 20th 2008 2:33AM
PS. The "cell phone" is a pile of crap encased in plastic and old melted down Sega gamegears.

Gaming platform you never want to try. lol

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.
&rew @ Sep 20th 2008 1:41AM
Because it will either suck, or be a Resident Evil Gaiden remake, which will suck.

More like N-virus. Fuck you CapCom. you brought RE4 to mobile and now this! WTF!!??!! What about the DS/PSP & Wii owners who has been waiting for a proper version of Resi? Also we've been supporting your games by the shitload and still nothing.Remember this CapCom "Monster Hunter sells X million in Japan", "RE4 sells Y million and Umbrella Chronicles sells Z million"???And mobile gets a new Resi without even selling 10k aka fuck you CapCom!!! Nuff sed.

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..

Actually Japan got Wii Remakes of RE1-3 the US has yet to get a hold of it

The N-Gage is still around? Really? Who has one of these things?
JoeTheBlow @ Sep 20th 2008 2:05PM
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.
tmmoore_nc @ Sep 20th 2008 2:17AM
Without a 5 at the end, I don't care about Resident Evil.
jimmygotsmack @ Sep 20th 2008 3:24AM
They really are trying to bring this demon back?
JoeTheBlow @ Sep 20th 2008 5:55AM
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.
Hatch @ Sep 20th 2008 7:55AM
So then this will B ported to the iPhone I presume since capcoms latest no exclusivity announcement. It's only fair :D

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...

Great...the Epic Flamewars of L.A. Noir were fun but you really didn't have to start it all over here...
el serpiente @ Sep 20th 2008 11:10AM
Stop spamming unrelated threads. You of all people should talk, you little attention whore.
Black, white or green, you're still a fountain of profound stupidity and anger.
Ninjakamster (PS360 FTW!) @ Sep 20th 2008 11:37AM
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.

@ Ninja
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?
