Nokia ne veut pas s’avouer vaincu et annoncerait donc une N-Gahahage 2 bientôt. Evidemment les rumeurs de spécifications sont déjà sur le Net. Enjoy. (Les pauvres).
Possible N-Gage 2 specs?:
Alright, we know for sure that Nokia’s already working on a successor to the N-Gage QD, presumably to be unveiled within the next few months at E3. …Still reading? Then I infer that you care enough about the N-Gage to want to take a peek at some reportedly leaked N-Gage 2 specs, courtesy of an uber-obscure freewebs gaming site. Fake? Most probably. An indication of things to come? Perhaps. Confusing to those not well-versed in hardware? Definitely.

Yeah, there’s a catch. It’s an alpha version of DS tunneling software created by Jadrule, an Italian developer. Called, DS Linkup, the new software promises to connect DS users across the world, allowing multiplayer games to be played online. Reportedly, there have been several successful connections throughout Europe and one successful connection from Europe to the US. Jadrule plans to release the software on April 11th.
