Nokia has announced today that Reset Generation, the "game about video games", is available on its N-Gage platform and can be downloaded by users who own the following handsets: Nokia N95, Nokia N95 8GB, Nokia N82, Nokia N81 and Nokia N81 8GB.

To play the game you have to choose from one of the ten heroes available, all of which are representative for the history of video games and have different superpowers. The objective of Reset Generation is to "rescue the princess" - you can do that either in the single player mode (where 18 missions are awaiting to be completed), or in an online multi-player mode, with up to other three players.

The ten characters featured in the game, in no particular order, are: Hedgehog, Plumber, Cyborg, Babe Gunner, Monster Trainer, Level 50 Elf, SciFi Knight, Ninja, Aggressor and Dr. Love Bomber.

"Reset Generation is a groundbreaking new game for the N-Gage platform. This title showcases the commitment that Nokia has to publishing innovative games and we are proud to be pioneering new original content for consumers," says Dr Mark Ollila, Head of Games Publishing at Nokia.

Scott Foe, Producer, Nokia, added, "A homage to all things fun in video games, the highly anticipated Reset Generation is unlike anything seen before. No pixel was left behind and no sound was spared. If you grew up playing video games, you will be especially fond of this title."

The soundtrack of Reset Generation is created by 8 Bit Weapon, a well-known chiptune music band that used old video game consoles in order to achieve the in-game sounds.

Developed by RedLynx, a Finnish company, Reset Generation can be downloaded (and bought for 10-12 Euros) from the N-Gage website, found at this address. There is also a PC version of the game, which is free and can be played online or downloaded from the Reset Generation website, accessible at this address.
