Talking to Tomi: the Future of the N-Gage Arena

Games on Deck has published another important N-Gage interview, this time with Tomi Huttula, Head of Arena Product Management for Nokia.

In this broad-ranging piece, they discuss everything from the community features in next generation games to the evolution of the Arena:

With the new N-Gage platform we are reaching millions of users around the world and therefore have focused on easing new users into the community and making it easy to be involved at whatever level you wish.

Read the whole thing here — it’s three pages, with good stuff on every page, so be sure to click through.

And as you’re reading, remember that the new N-Gage platform means not just new games and new devices to play them on, but also a brand new N-Gage application (it won’t be called the “N-Gage Arena launcher”) on those devices, as well as a new website to support them all.

So if things seem quiet from the Arena team from time to time, it’s because we’re all working hard behind the scenes on the new site and the new application.
