Told ya it's all about happyhappyjoyjoyNexon just announced today that their MMORPG, Maple Story, will be making its way to North American shores. And it will surely hit U.S. with a bang, as a partnership with MTV Networks guarantees full-blown marketing promotion from the hip network mogul.


The said MMO's success in South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia has led to other tie-ins with various companies such as Coca-Cola. Maple Story features cute characters and colorful backgrounds that will surely make you go "squeee!" Also, we heard that there will be "special content" for the American audience that "reflects gamers' tastes and pop culture trends", so that's definitely something to get excited about.

Maple Story is available for free via online download (click the Via link below), and uses a "cash shop/micro-transcations/item-selling" system, where players buy (in real currency, mind you) various in game items for customization and whatnot.

Making its way to North America? This game has been widely available to anyone in an English speaking country. My little sister plays Maple Story all the time.
