I have an N-gage QD. I guess I can try it out, if (assumption) the QD can handle the game (it has some years since released) and I can donwload the demo to my PC and bluetooth it out into the QD.

Wow, the gameplay footage on the Konami web site makes it look really crappy. I can't imagine why anyone would want to play clunky games on a cell phone. It's just beyond me.

I saw a clip to this on Gametrailers a few months ago. The game looked kinda like a slow paced, jittery version of the GBA games (more so Circle of the Moon). Didn't seem overally interesting.

Although a lot of game developers are turning to mobile phone games. I've also heard of a Metal Gear, Brothers in Arms mobil phone games as well as the typical ports of arcade games and surprisingly Sonic the Hedgehog.

Sonic on phones isn't that surprising to me - it's a cash in move.
There are LOTS of people with mobiles that may want a game, and the price is right for an impulse purchase (without checking reviews or opinions to know the game is crap). It's a good market for publishers, I reckon.
