Who says DS can't handle an MMORPG? South Korean publisher Nexon
has finally confirmed its bringing a version of Maple Story to
Nintendo's handheld.
South Korean games publisher Nexon announced today that they will
be bringing their popular PC title, Maple Story, to the DS. Rumors
of the game being ported to the handheld have been floating around
since last May when David Lee, CEO of Nexons Japanese arm,
revealed their plans to start developing games with Nintendo.
For the uninitiated, Maple Story is an MMORPG (massively
multiplayer online role-playing game) with a twistits presented
as a 2D side-scroller with chibi-anime styled characters. While
playing the PC version is free, there is a heavy emphasis on
purchasing clothing, pets, and other optional items through their
online Cash Shop with real money.
Maple Story will debut on DS this September. Nexon has yet announce
plans to release the game outside of South Korea.
