<b>N-Gage service</b> (also referred to as "N-Gage 2.0" or "N-Gage Next Generation") was a mobile gaming service (It wasn't device like [[N-Gage]]) from Nokia that was available for several Nokia phones running on Symbian OS S60v3 and (S60v5on N97).
==Emulators==
<b>N-Gage 2.0</b> games are packaged differently than normal Symbian .sis/.sisx applications and have the extension ".n-gage" and can only run via the N-Gage 2.0 Launcherapplication. The game resources are protected by DRM. They cannot use any native Symbian APIs, instead they use a proprietary API from the N-Gage SDK.  The N-Gage API is in fact an extension of the RGA API available in the Open C++ plug-in.  Only select companies are allowed access to the N-Gage SDK. To gain access they first must be approved by Nokia and sign a NDA.

On 30 October 2009, Nokia announced that no new N-Gage 2.0 games would be produced, effectively shutting down the N-Gage 2.0 platform. All N-Gage services, which includes purchasing of games and various online features, had reportedly ceased operation by the end of 2010 and on March 31, 2011, the service was finally closed, stopping the game activation server, so purchased Games can no longer be activated after formatting the device memory.
==Arena==There are games with multiplayer via Bluetooth and the N-Gage Arena (via the Internet). Can't play Arena because the service is closed. N-Gage is installed as a regular .sisx application, and games for it in .n-gage format are installed and run through N-Gage 2.0 Launcher application.
