[edit] Why that image?

It's not even official, it may confuses players and fans. Joppyhoppy 13:29, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It must have modified content.

MapleStory is a 300+MB game. The DS has 256MB cartridges. The game requires 64MB RAM. The DS has 4MB RAM. 1024x768 vs. 256x192, the list goes on and on. The Captain Returns 03:09, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Surely the game won't be an EXACT port of the PC version. It will probablby be a side-scrolling adventure/RPG style game with toned-down graphics and such =). Deiaemeth 05:40, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

All we have is speculation. For all we know, it is that the DS will have "bonus maps", and so forth.

The fact that the DS can display 256x192 only should give you a tip off btw. That would mean that images can be recompressed into the cartridge. (instead of super-high resolution images, MS DS may only have low-resolution images, which in tern save cartridge space).

So until official information is released; I say we keep this "fact" till we can verify it. :-) --Dragontamer 06:21, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

The RAM problem can be solved with an extra RAM cartridge to be slotted into the GBA port of the DS, the Opera Internet Browser for the DS will have one so it won't be too difficult to include one with MapleStory DS and i have one question, where is some hard information if they are really producing this game, besides that Korean IT news website? lil_naruto 27 June 2006

Well, sorry people who consider this useless, but I am very excited about this title coming out onto the DS. Being a mapler myself, This will definately benifit Wizet(the company whom makes MapleStory) and will increase the wide range of players who will love this amazingly addicting game. I've heard about the problems about size matters, but yes, I have a tingly feeling that with no doubt it will come with a ram cart. --Demod 08:50, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

This information is writted by a reporter, and Nexon not verity it, so we can regard "Maplestory DS" just as a gossip, not a regular words in Wikipedia. I suggest that the article must add an annotation "This content not an offical notice", to prevent misapprehension. --axiang1980 03:24, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

What's your point? A wikipedia article is for collecting known information, not introducing new ideas and speculation that has not been preivously published. This line of argument isn't going to contribute to the quality of the article....unless somehow you think we can find relevant facts about this TheBilly 13:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, changing the subject back to the topic. Maybe it has no basic version (non-Wi-Fi)? Even so, maybe the DS could hold only the necessary files to run the game, and the online server could hold the rest? Also, y'know, the DS wouldn't have much to save in Keysettings (There's only 8 buttons for crying out loud!) Plus, the resolution of the DS is obviously tiny in comparison with a normal computer monitor, saving more space. Eric55673 17:30, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Well DS is a touch screen so, the bottom could be used a the buttons and top as game play screen. or visversa.

• Do keep in mind-- since the DS game wouldn't have to interface through an operating system like Windows, it can use the system resources it has much more efficiently. It's entirely possible that a slightly toned-down version of this game would work just fine without the need for extra stuff. Darkwhistle 08:04, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Eric55673, the Ds mode is supposed to have 15 hours of single player and besides, downloading the game from the server everytime would take way too long. Noobeditor 20:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2009?!

Geeze, by that time Nintendo DS 2 will be out. Malamockq 13:33, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vaginal Dryness

I'm pretty sure that was not meant to be in the title of this game which previously read "Maplestory Vaginal Dryness" on the main page. I corrected this by removing the retarded pharse. If there is an actual subtitle, please add it. Thanks. Stetsonblade 12:10, 20 November 2006

Please refrain from using the word 'retarded' on Wikipedia, unless you're discussing retards. The Captain Returns 01:13, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Release Date

"release date set for early or late 2007."

Would not '2007' be better than 'early or late 2007'? Seeing as apart from early and late, there really aren't all that many other parts of 2007. I guess there's middle, but who's going to announce that their game will be out either at the start of the year or the end, but not middle? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.152.168.224 (talk) 17:01, 31 December 2006 (UTC).

Companies sometimes go by which quarter of the year. I guess early means Q1 and late means Q4. -- Prod-You 17:20, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks to recent C3 Article, The Date Has Been Posted In The Article, Global Realese Date Has Been Changed To "Planning In Progress, TBA" (Article Said That Global Is Still In Planning). Frank0115932 02:49, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Isn't it September 07 in KOrea and Early 08 o9r late 07 for the Us and EU? 20:03, 22 January 2007 (UTC)~~

[edit] Wait... what?

I thought MapleStory DS was confirmed to be just a series of mini-games, no source ever even suggested it being a port of the MMO.

'Rumours are floating around about the control system of the Maple Story game on Nintendo DS. It is rumoured that the touch screen is used to access menus, and cast skills and spells. While the buttons are used to control attacking and moving around the game world. It has been said that the characters created in Maple Story DS will be able to access the servers for the PC based version of Maple Story.·

Not only that, but this section is poorly written and not cited. The Captain Returns 23:54, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

...Never mind. The Captain Returns 23:03, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
