GI reports that John Romero denies ever saying that he has seen a prototype of an upcoming version of N-Gage hardware, as reported yesterday. "I've never seen a prototype of any new N-Gage," he told GI.

"I was talking to some guy, who I did not know was a journalist, and he asked me what I thought of the N-Gage," explained Romero. "I told him, then he told me that he thought it had an awful design with the MMC chip and the way you talk on it... I just said, 'Yeah, well Nokia's fixing those problems in their next one.'"
