Maple StoryThe DS version of the PC RPG Maple Story has not only been re-confirmed by its Korean gaming developer Nexon, the company even gave it a release date: sometime September 2007.


News of Maple Story for the DS first surfaced at E3 2006. Since then the buzz died down until these recent info came out. According to resurrected buzz, Nexon has a dedicated team headed by the company's Managing Director Hyong-No Kim working on the game.

The DS version will stick to the game's PC gameplay such as the variation of jobs, skills, and battle system. But new elements aimed specifically for Nintendo's bestselling handheld will be added. Maple Story will be a side-scrolling action RPG with an avatar code system.

Maple Story DS will be released in a special DS bundle initially in Korea. Don't worry, the game will also be available in Europe, US, Japan, and Australia.

# RPG???? no mmo----?Guest 2007-01-10 18:51
i know maple story is an mmo on the pc, but they only say that it's a side-scroller RPG for the DS, concerning me to this: are they taking out the multiplayer aspect of it? if its no mmo, then its a no-go for me.

yeah, they should have said 'it IS an MMO' but yeah, it will be online, or else there would be no point. MMOs don't have stories.

Just be patient, it will come out eventually. As for wi fi, maybe, just maybe they will add something when we least expect it, but I kind of doubt it. Still getting it no matter what though. It will be good to get away from all of the retarded fat Asian kids that act so tough and like they're the best on MS.

# The game, you just lost it.Guest 2010-05-14 01:47
i bought the korean version, it has a story line, you can start off with either a male thief, that uses thriwing stars and daggers, or a warrioir female. There is also another two classes which look like bowman and mage, but i do not know for sure.
