Arena (N-Gage)
===Arena (N-Gage)===
----
The '''N-Gage also fully Area''' supported online play with some games, N-Gage arena allowed players to play against other people wherever they were, even with no wi-fi connectivity at all. However N-Gage Arena had problems, such as having to register with your network provider, which was a problem as some networks did not allow N gage Arena despite working on the N-Gage console. Arena also suffered from lag problems and slow down and was sadly never used by many players, meaning that the people who did play on N-Gage Arena could rarely find another player to play with, however Nokia still even today supports N-Gage Arena in some countries (such as UK) and still works just as well as it originally did.
N-Gage Arena is an end-to-end solution for online multiplayer and community services for N-Gage games running on a range of S60 smart-phones. Chapter 8 discusses the N-Gage platform in more detail, but N-Gage Arena is described here because it forms a natural part of the multiplayer gameplay chapter.
N-Gage Arena was originally part of Sega.com's SEGA Network Application Package for mobile multiplayer gaming. Nokia acquired Sega.com Inc. (a subsidiary of SEGA) in early 2003 to enable them to offer networked multi-play and a virtual community to N-Gage gamers.
