Maple Story For The DS!
Is Nintendo actually going to have an MMORPG on their little Nintendo DS? From the looks of it, yes, they are. Nexon has confirmed that they are going to port their successful 2D side-scrolling MMO Maple Story to the DS. No release date has been set for the US, Japan, or Europe, but Korea should have the title by September.
This is fascinating that Nintendo is going to have an MMO on their handheld. I would have never even considered it, but it seems like a perfect match. The DS has some pretty great 3D capabilities demonstrated in Final Fantasy 3 and Metroid Prime Hunters, but it may have been difficult to handle a 3D MMO for the system. Maple Story seems like a perfect match with it’s cutsy super-deformed characters in an equally adorable world. Hopefully we’ll be able to play the game on this side of the great big drink.

While the prospect of an MMO on the DS is exciting, the fact that it’s Maple Story…well…meh. That game didn’t hold my attention for very long.
It looks intriguing, I just hope they don’t half-ass it. (^-^ )
Yeah, I tried Maple Story. It was extremely repetitive.
I feel like they’d need to add some kind of off-line single player mode or something. Maple Story, as is, is not my cup of tea.
I looked at this on wikipedia last night, and it seemed like it was only going to be a bunch of mini-games based off of Maple Story, and not an actual mmorpg for the DS :/ However, I hope it’s wrong.
Maple story hmmm it was kinda interesting however it got repetitive quickly. and unless I’m mistaken the PC Game is a 400 to 500MB install that seems very excessive for a cart
I luv ms..i have a ds!!!AWSOME!! PLAY MS IN BED!!
