The 2D side-scrolling role-playing game, which has made nearly $15 million so far, has already been discussed with Nintendo and plans are in full motion for the final product to be created.

That's excellent news, I just signed up to Maple Story the other day, good game. I think DS is the perfect for MMORPG's like this, this could be a huge step forward for the DS. Seriously considering this game.

R.O.S.E would be awesome, heh...

I've never played this, though the idea of a 2d MMORPG is both intriguiing and offputting.

So sorry guys; I missed this and posted this in the forum today. I've deleted it now.

Looks like it may be fun.

You need to get out more Blizz. Smilie

Never heard of it. Do you play a character who is playing a character who is playing a character who is stuck in an MMO who is playing a character who is also stuck in an MMO which is being hacked by evil monsters? Or is that just a terrible dream I had?
It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

Kind of, but nothing like it. It's a side-scrolling platformer. It's very "kiddy" compared to other MMO's but it's still fun, should do well on DS.

It's only "kiddy" because of the graphics, which I personally love. It's slightly generic at times, but the skill system is very well done, as is the sheer size of the game and the online aspect is painless. Not sure how everything will work on the DS though, mainly due to the lower res and lack of keyboard.

Yeah it better have the ability to recover your MG accounts, else i'm certainly not buying. I think it'll probably run off of the MS servers. At least I hope so.

After playing it on the PC I really want it on the DS. If it looks even half as good on the DS I'm buying. Anyone who says it's 'too kiddy' can go headbutt... something very spiky... >_>

Yeah, I just signed up for MS yesterday evening because of this thread. I really like it too; Its different than the norm Smilie

I've long hoped for a MMORPG for the DS and I knew it was possible despite all the haters out there saying that its impossible.

SmilieI'm super excited for any MMORPG for the DS!Smilie

I've always thought that even something like Phantasy Star Online (the first one for Dreamcast) would be do-able on the DS. I really liked that game!

Even a game like Conquer Online could be done in my opinion, no?
