I-play to bring casual games to N-Gage

Nokia revealed that I-play, the mobile entertainment company, will be delivering a line-up of casual games to the N-Gage platform launching this fall. The first two titles to be introduced in 2008 include World Rally Championship, the official license of the FIA WRC, and Super Mah Jong, an epic tale based on the ancient spiritual game from the makers of Jewel Quest.

I-play’s portfolio for the N-Gage platform will focus on casual, ‘one-thumb’ games for the mass market. These games will include prestigious licenses, like the WRC, which have I-play’s casual development philosophy at their core. I-play games provide an easy to play, difficult to master ‘dip in and dip out’ playability, with a focus on fun for the N-Gage player.

I-play brings mobile entertainment to an audience of over one billion people via a network of more than 120 carriers worldwide. It has been creating mobile games since 1998 and continues to spearhead the creation of mobile entertainment for the next generation.

I-play is a wholly owned subsidiary of Oberon Media, the world’s leading casual games company. Oberon’s Game Centre platform combines casual game content, merchandizing and features to fulfill each partner’s specific needs.
