Games? No Games? 5G iPod Nano

Hi,
this has been asked before but the answers were not clear to me. Are there any games to download anywhere for the 5th Generation iPod Nano? The apps store on iTunes says clearly that only up to 4th Gen is compatable. Is this still true? If so, will there ever be any? Bit dissappointed if only ever have the ones that came with it.
Thanks,
Theo

I don't have a nano or games so I cannot say they will "definitely" work.
Just that as I stated, the US store shows all the iPod click wheel games as being compatible with 3rd, 4th and 5th gen nanos.
I doubt that they would work in the US but not work anywhere else so it's likely the iTunes Store - UK games page has not been updated.
I will forward this info to someone who can likely get that page fixed.
Actually, only the page where all of the games are listed says that they are compatible with 5th gen nano. If you look at any individual game, it also lists which iPods they work with, and there are NO games that indicate that they are compatible with 5th gen nano (they are compatible with some other 5th gen iPod, which is not the same as nano). This is in the US; I suspect that the person asking this question is seeing the same thing in the UK. If you can get this fixed in the US, too, so that the individual games that are compatible with 5th gen say that they are, that would be great, since apparently some are and some aren't.
Otherwise, we do have some limited anecdotal evidence from previous threads, and also from some of the comments in the iTunes store. The .99 games (Reversi and Chinese Checkers) reportedly do not work with 5th gen nano. There was a thread within the past week that you can look for where someone did try three games which did work. The only one I remember off the top of my head is Zuma. I believe I have also seen messages in the past indicating that Monopoly and Sonic also work.
[edit] The thread I was talking about was last written to on 3/14, and is called 'Definitive answer please'. The other two games he tried were Uno and Sudoku, and he wrote what he thought of all three. Zuma sounded like the best bet, although the other two did work also.

How do I find games for ipod nano 3rd generation

I cannot find games for iPod nano in iTunes even though all the support keeps telling me to select iPod nano from the Source list. There is no source list, no games tab, nothing that leads me to the iPod nano games. When I click on apps, and just go to a game, they are all just for iphones, ipads or ipod touches. This is frustrating. Any help would be appreciated!

I believe that a few really low quality iPod games were distributed as freeware a long time ago, however you're much more likely to find malware infested web sites than any genuine source if you go hunting for them, and you'll still be disapointed with what you find. If you want games get an iPod touch.

How to run games on ipod nano 2nd generation with firmware 1.1.1

Does anyone know if you can run games on the 2nd generation ipod nano with the latest firmware of 1.1.1 when the itunes store with games wants the system to have firmware 1.2.
This means that the games must only work on 1st generation ipods or that 2nd generation ipod nanos do not need this level of firmware.
Games are not loading on my ipod.
Any advice?

Nope, sorry but games are currently only supported on the 5th Generation (video) iPods. Also the 1.2 firmware is only for the 5th Generation iPods.

If I helped... please mark as helpful or solved. Thanks

Making Games For iPod Nano's?

Does Anyone Know If They Will Make New Games For The iPod Nano Because That Would Be Big Business. It Seems Like Everybody Wants New Games For Their iPod
Windows 2000

THere are text based games you can get for the nano. but there is no graphicss games you can get for your nano. If you want more games you can sell your nano and get the 5th gen ipod and buy games for the larger ipod off of itunes music store BUT these games are NOT for the nano. If you wnat more games did you ever consider the sony psp. THe psp plays games movies and alot more or even the gameboy.

Buying games for ipod nano

Where/how can I buy games for my nano?

Hello Mitsubishi,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
To locate the iPod games, you will have to hover your mouse over the App button at the top of the iTunes store window until a small arrow appears on the right side. From there, you can click on that to open a drop down menu that has an option for "iPod Click Wheel Games" That should be what you are looking for.
