Okay, question time: what would come as a bigger surprise to you? That the N-Gage has just been axed by Nokia, or that the phone/video game system even still in business?

Pocket Lint reports that the six-year old device will no longer be supported by manufacturer Nokia, who will instead turn their game-related efforts toward its Ovi Store content portal.

"We are not releasing any more games on N-Gage," said Nokia's Director of X-Media Solutions, Media and Games, Mark Ollila, to Mobile Entertainment News, "although the store - the ability to buy N-Gage games - will remain open until at least September 2010, and the N-Gage service will run through to the end of 2010."

"The message is that Ovi Store is the place to find and purchase mobile games," he added. "It's our one-stop shop for games".
