Rovio unveils NFC-enabled Angry Birds game
Finland-based mobile game developer Rovio unveiled an NFC-enabled version of its Angry Birds game at the WIMA conference dedicated to NFC technology. Named Angry Birds Magic, the game contains twenty levels, of which the last fifteen can be unlocked either by end-users touching their NFC-phone with someone else's NFC phone or through using NFC tags which might be embedded in any item or object. Clues to these objects' locations will be forthcoming. Angry Birds Free with Magic will come pre-installed on the Nokia C7 as part of the Symbian Anna update. It will also be included on all of Nokia's NFC-enabled devices in 2011. Meanwhile, the Rovio programmers are creating a full version of Magic which will be made available through the Ovi Store. The full version will have more levels and more ways to harness the power of NFC.
