Winter Wind Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Ok, I don't know if I should laugh or cry over this. Gamespot article: UO on the cellphone Electronic Arts has contracted with a mobile media company named Dwango to run a cell phone version of Ultima Online in Japan. Although the interface of the game will be distinct from the PC version, the mobile version of Ultima Online made by Dwango is still based on the same concept, allowing players to freely roam around the world of Britannia. The game's program will be a mixture of Java applications and Web page interfaces--creating characters and shopping in towns will be done on a Web page interface, while journeying and fighting will be done in a Java application. Much like the PC version, the mobile version of Ultima Online will also allow users to have pets, houses, and shops. The game will be updated on a consistent basis as well. Ultima Online for mobile phones is scheduled for release in early summer in Japan. Membership fee is 300 yen ($2.50) a month.

Prometheus Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 I assume that based on those screenshots I saw, it will probably have it's own server. The battle scene looked like a traditonal RPG battle, not a real time UO one. Wonder how much it'll cost ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prometheus Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Looks more like the original Ultima's to me ... unless you're talking the very first Zelda for the NES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ser Brightblade Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 unless you're talking the very first Zelda for the NES IMO there is no other Zelda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I thought the Zeldas for the N64 were awesome ... and the SNES version was great too ... and so was the first gameboy game .... hell, they were all great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
