We've been waiting so long for information about Maple Story DS that we actually kind of forgot about it (and therefore forgot we were waiting for it). But after remembering that it exists, the same question popped up in our minds that we'd had months ago: is it an MMO? After all, that's the whole point of Maple Story: playing a side-scrolling Wonder Boy-style action-adventure with lots of other people (and hyphens).But, according to an interview conducted by Gamasutra at the G* event, Maple Story DS, releasing mid-2008 in Korea, is to be a solo experience. "We have some features that support Wi-Fi, but the main focus will be on single player," Nexon's Jamie Kang said. Surprisingly, Nexon is working closely with Nintendo to develop the title. But can Nintendo save a non-online iteration of an MMO? And will anyone outside Korea notice if they do?

i dont think it could handle it...and if it could there would probably be some type of server to join that only allowed a certain number of people to join- so u wouldn't really get a "MMO" experience- just a multiplayer one

Well being an mmo I can see not happening, which is fine in itself seemingly that's what the online version is for, Though depending if it's just like the mmo or not, but you can have maybe 3 or 4 friends play with you wouldnt that be better, YOu'd have all the areas to yourself and no kill stealing, an mmo with the asses seems fine to me which is what I'm hoping the game is, and if it's just the game but I get to travel the whole damn maple story world leveling without the asses as well I'm all for that as well!

Ehh, I might still get it. I usually play Maple Story by solo in any case.

People are getting disappointed because their expectations were really high for this game ... really high and also unrealistic. The Nintendo DS is only a handheld gaming system, there's no way it could be capable of delivering an online gaming experience like the PC version.
