Nokia Ngage QD | Gaming Phone From 2004!

In this video I talk about the story of the Nokia Ngage and Nokia N-gage QD, the successor of the original, and why such an innovative idea failed. The video covers the hardware, software, gaming experience, and key features of the Nokia Ngage QD and some gameplay footage from Crash Nitro Kart, Sonic N, Tony Hawk, and Fifa 2005. Here is the breakdown of the video:

The fact that Nokia could comvince some top publishers to publish for their Ngage platform was a big win in itself. You don't even have Tony Hawk Pro Skater or Splinter Cell on smartphones these days, even though they are much powerful than those Ngage ones.

[@adrian_veidt]

Good point. But you have to consider those franchises aren't as big as they used to be.

[@runninginthe90s75]

Sadly but true, today smartphone are so powerful, i own smartphone with snapdragon 845 but barely console quality game released today for android, the only console quality game released on phone is just indie game which is meh to me because they are just 3d platformer or either a game which didn't push hard to the limit like what this ngage could do. Even though i can play some console game with emulator like ps1, ps2 or even wii but i feel like my phone hardware is just a waste without decent native game. Playstore are full of garbage, their top game list is full of joke, it filled with trash pay to win game, stupid game with full of ads or stupid domino trash game. It such a shame Google only cares about money and they ruined everything.

[@AbdullaZaki]

When I was shopping for Ngage games for this video, I was really surprised by some of the publishers who made games for it. Sure the games catalogue is tiny compared to what Nintendo could pull, but considering this was nokias first gaming device, they did get some good developers on board. This project should have continued and further developed imo...

[@KaiserAllen]

@@AbdullaZaki Does the phone save to the cartridge itself or on the phone?

[@menantumakawak]

@@runninginthe90s75 Alien Isolation, Grid Autosport and Pascal's Wager. They are all console and pc quality games

[@Sach6251]

Life was easier when nokia was leader and not iphone 😉

[@runninginthe90s75]

Life is much better back then because there are so many console quality game made for Nokia phone even though their hardware is very weak compared to smartphone nowaday, today mobile game is total joke. You can't find console quality game, what you can find is boring battle royale game, pay to win garbage, or game filled with a lot of stupid annoying ads. The ironic thing is that not even hardware limitation stopping people to make decent game, its the corporate and less support from google or apple which makes company had very less interest to make mobile game because apple and google only promotes garbage game on their store.

Simpler, happier times :)

Honestly I loved my QD and original Taco Nokia Ngages, it's so sad these gaming decks didn't get all the games and support they deserved. I would have loved to see some real GBA-esque games on the system, especially if Square Enix or Capcom got on board!

[@AbdullaZaki]

Indeed.. Yet I'm actually surprised by the number of studios who did develop games for the Ngage, considering its the first gaming device from Nokia. Nokia had a very strong pull, but trying to out compete Nintendo in handhelds would have taken years and multiple attempts more

[@sloppynyuszi]

@@AbdullaZaki I think the big hitters were mostly ported by one studio and Nokia just paid for the license to get the ball rolling. Tomb Raider, Tony Hawk and Colin McRae were ported by the same studio. But there were still a lot of cool titles. You could get a surprisingly good King of Fighters game. Also Asphalt started on the N-Gage. It was a full PS1 style game at the time. And Torus games who ported Doom 2 and Duke Nukem to GBA did an original FPS game on it and it looked great. There was a lot of cool games for it considering how bad it was panned.

[@blaquenoise]

The only one game I played on mine was Elder Scrolls Shadowkey

[@ulyssessait]

me too. I loved my QD . I remember playing Red Faction game with my friend with it... & also playing war games called Pathway to Glory. its very well optimized

[@Hosayin184]

Honestly, this was the video I was waiting for a long time. When you were bringing the nostalgia of other devices back to life I was always hoping, next video would be an N-Gage. This was really ahead of its time. It would be a dream come true if Nokia tried something new like this now which is very different from conventional phones. Not saying exact but something unique that makes all the tongues wag. This phone was more of a status symbol to show off and I know so many people who just had it but would not play games that often. Those were the days. Someone please remind Nokia what a beast they were at experimentation and trying new things rather than following the pack as is now.

[@evangantley6276]

I wanted one of these so bad, thanks for the nostalgia.

[@stalkershaw]

you can experience it trough N-gage emulator tho..

[@jesACE06]

Me too, My journey on this Phone is when i start using phone it was Nokia 3650 and play some games and you can choose the controls on settings on the game, you can see "N-GAGE". I can't stop imagining what it looks like. It was strange for me because of it's name that no number include like: 3650,6600, or 6630. And then i try search it on a website and Man I was so obsessed to have this device specially the Taco version❤ i like it the most than the QD. Back in 2009, it took me 12 years to get this 2 models.

[@danwhelan]

I have six N-Gages. If was my favourite phone back in the day! 😄

I got the QD way back 2007 and still one of my favorite handheld device to date I played a lot of pathway to glory back then and splinter cell chaos theory looks phenomenal in the system, now with the rise of android gaming phones such as black shark, ROG, etc. I’m still hoping that Nokia will release a gaming phone with the ngage platform.

And I miss Pathway to Glory and Call of Duty WW1 which I played on my N-Gage QD, even today's smartphone don't have them.

[@AbdullaZaki]

Indeed, despite all of its flaws! I can only imagine how passionate Ngage owners were about their devices

[@junedmalek7731]

@@AbdullaZaki ❤️

[@adrian_veidt]

The ngage like the meego had very interesting features. One is ahead of it's time, the other came in a little too late on an already established market. The way you purchase the ngage at that time, the process to activate it via sim, the harware design and software I think really hurt it. I still bought an old Nokia e63 just so I can install the ngage app. Totally worth it.

[@AbdullaZaki]

Indeed, I think that's why the phone was out when the technology wasn't fully developed for it yet, but because of that it built a cult like following of passionate fans. Interesting how that works...

Your video's are really great. You are better than some channels because you do not rush everything. The sounds of the buttons, menus, etc are interesting. Each phone certainly has it's own personality, don't you think? It's a shame some of these phones didn't take off. Perhaps not just ahead of their time, but maybe people were just not ready to change from text and talk, to full blown gaming fun. Thumbs Up TheMrNokia Sir!!

[@the_winged_helm]

Was waiting for the next Nokia feature phone video! I loved the NGage QD! My friend had it, while I had gone for the 6600. The games were decent, and we had taken these towards the end of their production runs, so price was quite reasonable. I tried copying the files from the game cartridge to my 6600, but it didn't work. The game used to crash immediately on entry 😁

[@MichaelVincentGChua]

Can't wait to get Nokia N-Gage QD, for the mobile gaming nostalgia.

[@sloppynyuszi]

The N-Gage is soooo under rated. Especially the QD model. The cards are swappable. You don’t have to take off the end plate. But what no one talks about is the trash copy protection. You could buy an SD card, load it with games and play it. It was also an awesome emulation device, Mega Drive, Game Gear, NES, Gameboy/Color all played great. SNES was a bit hit and miss, and anything above that was a no go. I paid around $300 Australian for it. It’s expensive compared to a gameboy, but it was a little cheaper than a gameboy and mobile phone combined. And it was a great gaming device, the emulation gave you a ton of games, and the main games were full PS1 quality, which the GBA couldn’t do. And punching up an sms was more comfortable in hand held. I really think the bad PR of the original rendition and the lack of awareness of how easy it was to put games and tinker with it really hurt it.

[@liuzhen1220]

To be honest, I think a big failure of Nokia N Gage QD is the lack of in-depth cooperation and plan binding with telecom operators，I only remember seeing it in EBGAME stores back then.

[@AbdullaZaki]

True, they should have done better in that regard... and availability of games worldwide wasn't great too

[@Elmantukas]

I was about 8 when this came out, man this was a huge hype, a dream, to be able to play games on the go, vs your mates, we were literally drooling over the idea of this, but we were young and no one would ever spend money like that for a kid, if only this came out a few years later, maybe it would have been a success, the generation which this was designed for was still growing up. Now when the N95 8gb came out, we were old enough to be able to get one, now that thing blew us away being able to play quake 2 on the go and even online! Those were the days, seems like we used to appreciate these things so much more, will never forget the feeling these new technologies provided us.

[@JS-ev4xc]

Indeed a classic, but I still can't get over the fact that the mp3 and radio were somehow removed. The original Ngage is still a better choice than this Ngage QD, though the phone was placed sideway is weired when making calls.

It's such unique phone. And though it's got its own issues, it's still a bold decision by Nokia to go that route, and I'm glad they did.

[@eqnandar]

I truly loved my n-gage. Had the original one that came with mp3 player and radio, but I couldn't stand the hassle when changing game card (turn off device, remove battery, insert card, insert battery, turn on). So I switched to QD. Man, I played to death the n-gage games. KOF, PtG, Tony Hawk, Pandemonium, Splinter Cell, and all other games. Had some cool friends from the Arena, even got the chance to win an international competition in which I won 2 silver medals and 2 free games of my choice (but they sent me 4 games!!) and other extra goodies. Ah, the memories.....the QD really made my years memorable 😁

Lordy I owned an NGage, though as a hand me down, I liked it. It was sadly let down by lack of games amongst some other bad managerial decisions. One thing that also doomed it was it was a lot more fragile than what we expected from Nokia, after all they had a reputation for indestructible handsets. I still have a working 3310 and 3510i. They will be useless soon as handsets but they have pulled cover duty a few times.

@@AbdullaZaki These things happen I was using an NGage for a few years and it was second hand. The only phones I never needed to replace due to faults were the 3310 and the 3510i. I swear both those phones will survive the collapse of our universe and be reinvented in the next one. 🙂

I personally believe Nokia should not have scrapped the Symbian OS. If it had kept going up until current times, it would have been Android's main competitor. The Symbian OS was a fantastic Operating system in it's time. It kept things simple and easy to understand. This is what made Nokia phones so damn good back then like the Nokia N95, N70 E90 and so many others.

It's really ironic how early and late Nokia was back then. They were too early for a handheld gaming device and phone mashed together. They were too late to use android as their main operating system. If they had jumped on android as early as 2009, they would probably be one of the market leaders today. They already have brand loyalty, and total control over the phone market back then.

There is information you missed about n-gage probably you did not live in the timeframe it was released. Game features aside, n-gage original was capable of playing mp3 files and fm radio with quality stereo output (with headphones). This was big as most symbian phones had low quality mono sound capabilities. This meant that you could leave your walkman at home. Other than that third party apps could view txt and pdf files, heck this device could even emulate gameboy/gbcolor quite well. I remember finishing metal gear solid with it. And if you used patched games you could throw in many games on an mmc card, so you dont have to change cartridges. Overall this device was a great value for its time. Ebook reader, music player, gameboy, 3d ngage games and many other apps like metronome etc. And all in one concept which most people failed to see
