Wow, any type of MMORPG on the DS would be great! Maplestory wouldn't be my first choice, but it could be a lot worse, so I'll take it. C'mon, time for an MMORPG on the Wii!

They should make a guitar hero for the Wii. To not copy as much they should pimp out the guitar way more! Different name such as "Wii Star Guitar", that shall not be used by anybody besides Nintendo and different playing styles. Find a different way to play.

I have never played Maple Story but I have seen ads for it and it seems cool. Why can't you get a tattoo though?

Maple Story on DS and Wii? There aren't enough buttons to give you the same flexibility in control configuration as a qwerty keyboard. I suppose it might JUST handle it if you did away with the shortcut keys for inventory and skill list etc.

The thing that's great about a Wii port of Maple Story is the system requirements. No more stuffing around with video card and ram specs!

Kart rider has a total of 150 million players in eastern Asia and the beta version in the US got closed. Nintendo probably payed nexon to close it so mario kart will still sell because kart rider is a way better game and it's free.
