NFC version of Angry Birds coming to Nokia C7

Tuesday, April 19, 2011

Rovio is introducing NFC to the mobile gaming world with a new Angry Birds game available exclusively to Nokia C7 users, according to Techradar.com.

The latest version of the game, Angry Birds Magic, lets gamers tap their C7s together to destroy those precarious porcine structures in two-player mode, adding a new twist to one of mobile’s most popular games.

“This is an exclusive offering with the Nokia C7, a smart phone that really kicks off the NFC experience for developers,” commented Mikael Hed of Rovio. “In time, the communal power of users with Angry Birds Magic could prove even stronger than the Mighty Eagle.”

Nokia says the game will come pre-loaded on all C7s, and will be available on the Ovi store this year.
