Nintendo did develop telephone in parallel from Nokia?

Project on the creation of a series of the play telephones Of nokia N -Gage, as is known, fell through despite the fact that aid in its development rendered the company Of nintendo. But, as it became known to the representatives of the resource Of pocketGamer, into Nintendo they did not completely limit one support alone Of nokia, but in R&D division they independently created play telephone. This at the beginning 2000- X of years occurred and precisely at that moment when Nokia developed N -Gage. The created prototype proved to be operational and it was demonstrated to the board of directors of the company Of nintendo.

Its fate ended on this. Model was not approved as promising project and into the production did not enter. As reported the source Of pocketGamer, occurred this because of the conservatism of company, which always has a whole series of projects R&D, but only a few of them see light. At the same time, when was created play telephone, another group of engineers began the works on the portable play consoles of a series DS. And one cannot fail to note that this project proved to be much more promising: in contrast to Nokia N -Gage of the play consoles of this series were sold more than 120 millions. But operating times according to the wireless connection were used for the creation Of wii and Nintendo of 3DS. To so that say that the board of directors of company was mistaken - is impossible.
