Nokia's N-Gage platform apparently still alive

To the sound of at least half-a-dozen yawns Nokia and Konami have jointly announced that some of the latter’s game franchises will be remade for the former’s tainted N-Gage gaming platform.

Or to put it another way – and specifically to put it the way the Konami version of the press release puts it – “Konami will begin provisioning of Metal Gear Solid Mobile for Nokia's mobile game service, N-Gage, scheduled to start in late June 2008. Metal Gear Solid Mobile is original content created exclusively for the mobile platform and based on the Metal Gear series”.

The release goes on to say: “Metal Gear Solid Mobile utilizes the handset's camera to incorporate gameplay that can only be experienced on the mobile platform. The camera function is used to change the colo[u]r of the character's suit as well as provide an optional control for a portion of the game.”

It all sounds absolutely, um, missable.
