After what seems like several years of delays, Nokia has rolled out its next-gen N-Gage service for the N81, N82, N95 and N95 8GB. Limber up your thumbs, Noketeers – it’s game time!

While the official announcement hasn’t been made yet, you can now toddle over to the N-Gage website and download the client, or download it direct to your mobile by pointing its browser at n-gage.mobi/d. It’ll only work on the handsets mentioned above, but support for the N73, N93 and N93i will follow soon, according to Nokia.

The service provides an all-encompassing gaming platform for your phone, letting you download both full titles and demos, create an alternate online persona and do virtual battle with friends over your blower’s Internet connection. For more info hit the links below.

Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re off to get our game on.
