Maple Story coming to the DS in September

Nexon who is partnering with Nintendo to distribute the DS in Korea announced that they are indeed working on Maple Story for the DS. Nexon plans to release Maple Story DS sometime in September 2007 for Korea. There are no announced plans for releases in other countries like America, Japan or Europe yet. However, Maple Story has a huge fanbase so it’s going to come out in other regions eventually. The real question is how Nexon plans on pricing the game. The PC version is free, unless you want to buy items. While Maple Story DS isn’t probably not going to be free, it is unknown if they’re going to run a cash shop. Online play is another big question. How is Nexon going to add that in? Are people going to be able to use their Maple Story PC characters on the DS? As soon as we get answers we’ll let you know.
