Mobile arm's worldwide director also complains about submission process

EA: N-Gage ‘hasn’t started yet’

MCV Staff 29th October 2008 Publishing

EA Mobile’s Peter Parmenter has opened fire on the Nokia N-Gage at Nokia’s Games Summit in Rome, reports Mobile Entertainment – but admits that the platform hasn’t even really launched yet.

"Have we started yet? No," said the firm’s director worldwide OEM.

He also poured scorn on Nokia’s certification process, saying that it was "easier to get an audience with the pope than get a game through the N-Gage certification process.”
