MapleStory DS Already Successful

It seems that MapleStory DS is already proving to be very successful over in South Korea since its launch on 15th April, 2010, perhaps increasing the chances of seeing the game in Western countries in the near future, as well as having other Nexon products come to Wii and/or DS. The good sign is that for fans eagerly awaiting the game is that it seems the game is already off to a flying start.

Popular Korean website Naver has the DS game ranked at No.7 on its search rankings as of 17th April, up from No.15 the week prior to the game's release. This is seen as a massive achievement due to videogames normally not standing a chance against the popularity of online PC titles. The Korean forum where this news stems from, Ruliweb, implies that being listed on Naver may well be a more powerful advertising tool than the recent slew of TV adverts. At the time of writing, MapleStory DS has climbed up to No.6 on the game-related search rankings.

With any luck, Cubed3 will be receiving MapleStory DS in order to bring readers a hands-on report for the eagerly awaited release.
