Under the terms of the agreement, three of THQ Wireless' leading games titles - MotoGP(TM), MLBPA Players Choice Baseball (working title) and Red FactionŽ will be available when the N-Gage starts shipping.

The games, which will be available on memory cards, include such additional features as near distance multiplayer gaming over Bluetooth as well as downloadable and uploadable mobile elements.

Tim Walsh, Sr. VP, International Publishing and Wireless, THQ Inc., said: "This collaboration with Nokia draws upon THQ's experience and expertise in both the console and wireless games markets. The new N-Gage(TM) platform is a great fit for THQ as it combines the traditional console method of distribution with the potential for additional revenue for service providers enabled by the N-Gage's multiplayer capabilities."

"The quality of THQ's gaming portfolio will add great value to the N-Gage proposition," said Eddie Maalouf, Nokia Middle East. "The strength of any game deck relies on two things, the quality and number of the games that are available. With THQ joining other global developers in the support of the N-Gage, gamers can expect an action-packed and immersive experience."
