Espoo, Finland – Nokia and Capcom today announced that Resident Evil Degeneration will be released on N-Gage later this year. With gameplay optimized for N-Gage, including two separate play modes, plus multiple mission types and 3D quality graphics, Resident Evil Degeneration is a cutting edge title that illustrates the unique capabilities of the N-Gage platform.
The game, part-based on the upcoming October theatrical release in Japan full-length CG motion picture of the same name, focuses on the release of a deadly virus by a terrorist at a US airport and follows series favourites Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, as they attempt to destroy the virus and prevent it from being dispersed across the country. Resident Evil Degeneration is the first full-length CG motion picture from the Resident Evil series, widely considered to be the benchmark of the survival horror video game genre.

What’s not to like about world-class car navigation with turn-by-turn visual and voice guidance in 46 languages and dynamic re-routing to avoid trouble spots? Starting with the Nokia N95 8GB, Canadians using Rogers Wireless will be able to tap into Nokia’s N-Gage gaming platform and Nokia Maps positioning software.
The agreement between Nokia and Rogers Wireless is the first such agreement with a wireless carrier in North America and it will ensure support for future device releases on Roger’s network. No details were announced on when other Nokia devices would be supported by N-Gage and Nokia Maps, but at least it looks like the compatibility of the N-gage platform will be expanding across a variety of Nokia handsets.
