Maple Story DS

"Here's an interesting bit of news that has gone largely unnoticed. Maple Story, a free 2D MMORPG by Wizet and published by Nexon, will be hitting the Nintendo DS. It looks like Nexon is actually collaborating with Nintendo on the project. If there is any MMORPG that could work with the DS, other than Pokemon, it's this.

For now, whether or not the game will be released outside of Korea is unknown. However, this announcement was at E3 so who knows? I might actually go back to playing it if it's on the DS... I quit after Wizet backstabbed its fans by deleting their beta characters after repeatedly denying it would happen. Still, it's a good game for beginners to the MMORPG genre. The learning curve is not very great at all and it's completely free to play. It's not a flash game, you'll have to download the file at their official website."

Though no official images have been shown yet, I thought that since a lot of you play Maple Story, you'd be interested to know about the title coming to the DS. It is still unknown on whether or not it's coming to North America, but it's interesting nonetheless. :cool:

sounds pretty sweet the ds needs an mmo and the only thing it could run would be a 2d game so it fits.

I really cant see this appealing to anyone over the age of 10. The gameplay is SO repetitive its not even funny.

Eh, I don't see much appeal to it if it's not online.

...Where's Gunbound? Maple Story gets too old, too fast.

I would die if GB went to DS.

Would it still be great if I never use multiplayer?

To me, that's what matters.

Playing offline wouldn't be a bad option to me. I'd enjoy the privacy whilst training, if anything. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't have an online mode, though. This seems like a neat idea for the fans, though I get the feeling that they won't include a feature to link up your DS with your MapleStory PC account.

GB DS?

YES PLS.

Well, yeah, GBDS would own the hell out of MSDS. I don't really see it happening, but if MapleStory is making the leap, then I can't think of any real reason why Gunbound shouldn't.

Bottom screen: Minimap of the field, items, wind, etc.
Top screen: Hawt action?

'course I imagine that's pretty much what MS would be like, but then "Hawt action" would turn into more of a fill in the blank.

Gunbound DS would be great.

Anyway, I used to joke about the existance of a Maple Story DS when I was greatly obsessed with the game last year. Saying how it'd be so great, but it'd never ever happen. I'll need more details before I can have a real opinion on it, though.

Now, excuse me while I choke down this irony..

I wonder about this one's execution. If Is it going to be like the computer version? Or is it going to be a crossover with the computer version? Wait wait.. it can't. There's no keyboard for example, then there's the mic.

I wonder how this is going to turn out...

Maple story on DS HAS to be online. Fighting on a map all alone with nobody to chat with is lame and boring. Knowing the DS is not so good at yet at making online games, I dont think I'd buy it.

Frankly I don't understand why MS is considered an addictive game. I hated the key configuration of it, and it felt like playing one of those little games on a site, that are fun the first 3 times, but become immensely boring. I still have it on my PC though, so maybe when I get REAL bored I'll play with it and try to see why its considered addictive. Well if you like it, you like it. And anyway, I'll buy it for the DS anyway, since I think that kind of game is perfect for the DS. I don't think computer MS accounts should link up either...

No doubt in my mind that WoW is better than MS, and I've never even played WoW.

That aside, I don't see how you could be too used to multiple bindings. MS is nowhere near the same type of game as WoW or CS:S. I know that you can get a habit of one bind (I had a bad habit of hitting y before chatting for a few weeks, for example, after playing Star Wars: JKA), but MS runs at an entirely different pace. I hated the default controls, but they're alot more tolerable once you change them to your own tastes.

I was thinking if this would be possible.
If it comes out to the DS I'll definitley buy it, just cuz having a hueg online game on the DS would be purty kewl.

***, I hope this'll come out. Srsly, think of Maple Story... but with an actual story!

And it'd include online play, of course.

Oh! And more classes, way more classes. Like, 29 more.

Psh, they'd have to include a story for single play. Otherwise it's just the same thing, but... without people.

Which would sell like hotcakes to the Japanese and Korean crowd, amirite?

Spoiler: Arwen's Glass Shoe becomes a devastating plot twist.

Ooh, we should be able to choose party characters, like in Final Fantasy.

Dude you read the part where I said, "with a story"?

Yes I would like it much more with lil missions to actually have a purpose to kill so much.

I was obsessed with MS for awhile, but than I remembered how pointless it was, so I stopped. I only go on for an hour or so during the double EXP weekends so I can have something to do while waiting to do...other things. I don't ever plan on buying a DS, so the whole topic of MSDS is moot to me, but if I did have a DS, I probably wouldn't buy it unless I saw it in a bargain bin for less than 15 dollars.

*** I hate World of Warcraft. That's all I hear about, "omg man wow is teh mad skillz an props yooooo."

EVERYBODY PLAYS IT, EVERYBODY. And when I actually played, I was none too impressed. So bite me.

Then try Guild Wars.

Or if you want to stick with the whole Korean GM thing, try SilkRoad.

Or play MORE MAPLE STORY.

I don't think it's possible. Mario kart DS has lag issues, with only four people playing. Imagine thousands?

hm....perhpas you're right. But, the title has no news of a US release.....that I can see.

hope it comes soon. I'm a big fan of the game myself.

I can't wait for this game, it should be cool. I wonder if it will be as good as the pc version.

yeah, I'm pretty sure it saves like that. If it didn't cheating would be WAY too easy...

What?

You said it saved aoutomatically. I said yeah it probably does on the DS too. If it didn't, you could cheat on the game too easily. Such as when you die, just turn the DS off and back on again, and you wouldn't lose anything.

Well i hope it does come out because it is takin me a heck-o-long time for me to down loward cuz my pc is slow but it meets the setting lol.

I hate Maple Story. I'm going to buy it just to throw in the Garbage, because its trash material.
