http://blog.n-gage.com/archive/mobile-g ... e-is-here/ Says that all purchased games are "safe and yours to keep" apparently. I'd not want to bet on them still being available if your needed to wipe your phone and redownload for any reason, though.

Looks like they're just merging the n-gage store with the Ovi store (in September next year)?

Nokia has officially announced that it will put an end to its problem-plagued N-Gage gaming service, integrating it into its Ovi Store. The move isn't really a shocker, and while Nokia has confirmed that no further games will be published, it's also said that it will continue to sell currently available games in the Ovi Store (as of today) until the end of September 2010. The N-Gage website, which holds the Arena and community boards, will also continue until that time. Nokia says that any already purchased games will continue to run on the mobile device, but that any connected community features will be non-functional come 2010.

You can still mash the gable end of a brick against your face if you feel nostalgic.
