Nokia Video From Last Year's E3, A Hoax?
Tsk Tsk Tsk. Nokia have not made any significant announcements regarding the N-Gage at this year's GDC and just today we have heard that there will be no new games coming out for the N-Gage. After all the drama in the past few days, we thought there couldn't be any more action yet there is. Delixe, Losburittos,Stingwormhole,phalnax,gurama and wukong from the N-Gage forums have supported the claim that Nokia's video from last year's e3 is a fake. They claim that that piece of hardware was not a mobile device and could not be moved from the table it was on. This is not meant to be an attack on Nokia or the Arena team, all we want is the truth!
Examine the images below and draw your own conclusions!
Click here to see where it all started!
Rumor Control
An extremely reliable source at Nokia has told us some very interesting things. First of all, we might see a few more titles for the N-Gage Game Deck. We have been told that a Nokia golf game was 90% complete and that we may see that out. Our source said that there is absolutely nothing going on at Nokia regarding the N-Gage. We have been told that some titles have been moved to Nokia's Next-Gen Lineup. No news about what's going to happen at this year's e3. Let's keep our hopes up.
The End?
If you head over to www.n-gage.com you will notice that the "Upcoming Games" section has been completely removed from the site. This is extremely alarming and at this point we don't know what to think. There have been no comments from Nokia on this but it seems as though there will be no more games coming out for the N-Gage. It's a sad day. We'll keep you updated as we get more news.

Walk The Plank!
Hail Maties! It now time to finish swabbing the decks and prepare yourself for another great tournament featuring High Seize for the N-Gage game deck. This elimination style tournament will determine who the best ship captains in the N-Gage Arena are, and who will be walking the plank into the cold high seas.

Finally, Nokia talks!
N-Gage Arena Administrator, "dsrainmaker", was in the N-Gage Clubhouse a few minutes ago and when we asked him to tell us something we didn't already know about The Game Developer's Conference 2006 he had the following to say:
"Ya, some games will be announced...some technologies, exciting stuff"
Look for updates as we get more information!
Payload Loses Shadow Racing!
The folks over in Finland must have drunk a little too much on St.Patrick's day as we have just found out that, Payload, the only game coming out in April has lost its online shadow-racing features. Unless Nokia launches the next-gen phones and games soon , the N-Gage community will be decreasing in size. Once again, what's wrong Nokia? Please let us know.

Spirits Devs Speak Up!
Here's what they had to say when one of our writers questioned them about the disappearance of Spirits from the N-Gage website.
Great to hear from you and that you’re interested in Spirits. I’m afraid you won’t see it on the N-Gage platform but we’re currently working hard on Spirits and are really thrilled about it. It’ll be an awesome game. I can’t say much more at this stage but as they say: “Keep your eyes and ears open”. There will be Spirits news in a not too distant future.
Nokia loses another great game!
Dsrainmaker drops some hints?
One of Nokia's Arena Administrators, dsrainmaker, logged onto the live chat on the Official N-Gage forums and he told us some interesting stuff when asked about what Nokia would be doing at GDC 2006 and e3. He told us that Nokia would bring along a "couple" of games to show off at GDC and that they had something very "cool" saved up for e3. The plot thickens.
