The NGage Has A New Boxed Game For The First Time In 20 Years

The NGage Has A New Boxed Game For The First Time In 20 Years

Sure, the fact that new Game Boy games are coming out in 2025 is incredibly exciting, but I bet you didn't think you'd be seeing a new game complete-in-box for the Nokia NGage?

Say what you want about Nokia's entry into the handheld world (and Nokia's stupidly timed release date competing with the Game Boy Advance), it's still an interesting bit of kit and has a loyal cult following of gamers who still wonder 'what could have been' if the NGage had managed to defy all the odds and become a commercial success.

The Parasite Pack from Lowtek Games for the NGage

Yes, for the first time in 20 years, there's a new game for the NGage. It's called the Parasite Pack from Lowtek Games and comes with Lowtek's NES games; FLEA!, FLEA!2, and Tapeworm Disco puzzle. Now I know what you're thinking - they're going to look really odd on the NGage's screen, right? Well, they've all actually been remade to work with the phone's 11:13 screen aspect ratio!

The game comes with a shiny new case with a foam insert, a game card with a holographic sticker, and a full-colour manual. Three games on one cart with ringtones and wallpapers to add to your NGage too - what's not to love? I suppose if you don't have an NGage, then possibly all of it... but let's just assume you've been looking for a reason to get yours out of storage and start playing games on it again!

Grab a copy of the Parasite Pack from Etsy now or check out the demo on Lowtek Games!
