"What makes our SNAP Mobile casual games lineup so special is that there is something for everyone," said Lisa Waits, Head of Nokia SNAP Mobile.  "These games have been designed from the ground up to take advantage of the unique capabilities of today's mobile phones and networks in order to create the best possible and easily accessible gameplay experience for mobile phone gamers."

The Nokia SNAP Mobile casual game portfolio is developed by Tucson, AZ based Octopi using the Nokia SNAP Mobile platform to enable the connected features.  All of the games will feature connected multiplayer gameplay over the wireless network, a friends list showing which friends
are online to play, instant messaging with these friends, a customizable online avatar profile and image, and an in-game token system that rewards players for playing online.

"The Nokia SNAP Mobile tools have really let us push the limits of what can be done with these titles," said Dan Kopycienski, founder of Octopi. "Developing multiplayer games for today's fragmented landscape of devices and networks is a difficult task.  The Nokia SNAP Mobile
platform and support from Nokia has allowed us to focus on what is most important: designing and implementing the best connected game experience possible."

The Nokia SNAP Mobile casual games are expected to be available on Nokia and non-Nokia mobile phones later this year.  To download screen shots and game information, go to www.extranet.n-gage.com. For more on Nokia SNAP Mobile service, please visit www.snapmobile.nokia.com.
