Snakes Subsonic Coming To N-Gage This Week
Snakes is one of those games that’s been around for decades, kinda like Pacman. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t get completely lost in an intense game of Snakes. Nokia’s known that for years, including the game on nearly every handset from the beginning of time (yes, I realize that’s an exaggeration). However, for the first time, they’re going to attempt to sell Snakes on the N-Gage platform. Ikona at the N-Gage Blog tips us off that next week is when we’ll see this game on N-Gage.
Personally, I think there’s something inherently wrong about being asked to pay for Snakes - especially from Nokia. However, what’s worse is that I already know that I’m going to be shelling out the $10 or whatever for a full license, without hesitation. Why? Because the new version is called Snakes Subsonic, and it looks simply fantastic! Snakes Subsonic offers a 3D environment, complete with the snake traversing multiple planes in the same level, and a soundtrack that changes tempo based on how well you’re doing in the game.
Here’s a quick video showing a little bit of the gameplay:
Also, Bernardo at Rawsocket recently stumbled upon this fun video:
Woah.. that building video is amazing! Wish Nokia had thought of that as a promotion. And how cool would it be to program a building to actually be playable with your Nokia phone e.g. in telecon trade fair?
The preview video looks nice.
However as you said in one of the latter episodes in “Driving with the guru”.
It was a bit sad that they should charge money for snake.
I will consider buying it if it really is that amazing.
What the preview showed looked just like an upgrade from the version that you could download to the N95.
(The N82 Black you have looks really slick, however as a N82 Titanium user, I’ve experienced that there are some applications such as RockNScroll that won’t quite work with N82 as well as the fact that N-gage points don’t get updated right, e.g. after a firmware update)
