Cubed3's sister website, Cubed3 Korea, conducted an interview in Korean with Nexon Corporation about MapleStory DS where it was revealed plans for a Western release have not yet been finalised, but there is hope of the special red MapleStory DSi being brought over as well. Plus Nexon is considering Wii support, and bringing more of its games to DS.

- The DS team is different from the one that makes the PC version of MapleStory, but everyone in the company understands the core aspect of the game, so advice and feedback were regularly given to create a nice balance between what makes the PC edition fun and bringing a new experience to DS;

- Both the Korean and Japanese arms of Nintendo helped out on the development side;

- The Director of the project estimates a good 30-40 hours of gameplay, with there being four separate stories to play through, plus other features that are unlocked when the game is completed and the ability to collect coupons to use in the PC version of MapleStory...
