Motion control gaming coming to N-Gage

Motion control is finally going to be implemented in N-Gage games, starting with Bounce Boing Voyage

As portable gaming gets even more tilt-control crazy, the folks over at N-Gage have announced that they're planning on using the N-Gage handsets' motion capabilties in some of their upcoming games, the first being Bounce Boing Voyage.

It's a 3D platform game that sees you twisting the handset to get your cute red ball moving around the game's environments. The game itself has already been released on N-Gage, but current users will be able to download the motion control update free of charge, once it turns up.

With the iPhone taking motion control games to the next level of audience awareness, this is a good move for the N-Gage, which has, for the most part, seen more more java and symbian ports than is really healthy for a plaform that wants to etch out its own identity. The Bounce Boing Voyage motion control update is due for release within the next month.
