According to Wikipedia, Virtua Cop never came out.

Amazon describes it as:

  • Incredible 3D graphics look just like the arcade game
  • Innovative new control system replaces the coin-op lightgun perfectly
  • Tons of levels, including exclusive content to this version
  • Amazing sound effects and that just one more go feeling

Casually checking the site and seeing stuff like this or Jeff Gerstmann's Pro Skater are exactly why I love Giant Bomb.

Man, the writing in some of these games....

"Oh wow, it's Maxwell McCain, head of Club Glimmerati!"

very next line

"Hello there, I'm Maxwell McCain, head of a club called Glimmerati."

Love the Institute of Giantbomb making yet another scientific contribution in chronicling the contraption of sideways communication called N-Gage.

The title music playing during the opening of that elder scrolls game was just one of the handful of general battle themes from Morrowind. If that gives any insight into how much faith they must've had in the product, that they used music from their 3 year old game, and not even a big unique song at that.

EDIT, THREE MINUTES LATER: Seems like all the music is just Morrowind music? At least its good music!

Wow, the graphics in One are actually... really good for the time, and especially for a phone-handheld hybrid?

Like 3D movement, real-time 3D character shading, not terrible models, character shadows and environment shading... not too shabby!

You know, there's a good chance that this video shows off one of the largest collections of N-Gage crap in the world. There's probably some Nokia warehouse that has more of it, but outside of that, this is probably it.

I respect the makers of N-Gage for really going for it with the type of games you can play. However, I'm glad I never bought one, as many of the translated poorly, and the ones that are halfway decent are ruined by that bad portable screen.
