Nokia has launched the gaming platform with six new games and has announced that games developer, Taito, will begin publishing connected mobile gaming content for Nokia's SNAP (Scaleable Network Application Package) mobile platform for the connected Java mobile gaming community. Nokia has also announced a strategic cooperation with leading games publisher, Gameloft to expand the range of games available for Nokia devices. The new mobile gaming platform, unveiled at the 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, allows consumers "to easily find, buy and play rich and immersive games on a range of Nokia Nseries multimedia computers and other Nokia S60 devices" via a pre-installed application. Taito games developed for SNAP Mobile are expected to be available to consumers in late 2006. They will exploit the interactive multiplayer capabilities of the SNAP Mobile platform and are "optimised for mobile play through superior use of mobile phone screen space," according to Nokia. Nokia says its next generation mobile games are designed specifically for mobile devices "which means they are quick to pick up, fun to play and hard to put down". Jaakko Kaidesoja, director, games, Multimedia, Nokia, said: "Our aim with this new strategy is to make entertaining, top quality mobile games accessible to as many people as possible."
