What Happened With Nokia and Nintendo Cooperation?

The project to create a series of  Nokia N-Gagegaming phones, as it is known, has failed, despite the fact that technical assistance in its development was provided by Nintendo. But as it became known representatives of the PocketGamer, the Nintendo is not limited to one only support for Nokia, but in R&D department created their own game phone. It happened in the early 2000′s and precisely at the moment when the Nokia developed  N-Gage. The prototype proved to be workable and was demonstrated to the Board of Directors of the company Nintendo.

At this specific point the  fate  of the project ended. The model has not been approved as a promising project and the production has been received. According to a source PocketGamer, this happened because of the conservatism of the company, which always has a number of projects with R&D, but only a few of them saw the light. At the same time, when creating a game phone, another group of engineers began work on a portable gaming consoles DS. And it should be noted that this project was much more promising: in contrast to the Nokia N-Gage gaming consoles in the series, which has sold over 120 million. But studies for wireless communications were used to create the Wii and Nintendo 3DS. So to say that the board of directors of the company made a mistake – it is impossible.
