Crabsmasher Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Well, if you already have speech...what's the point of the text? THINK OF THE DEAF AND MUTE PEOPLE YOU JERK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CE Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 KOREAN RPG'S ON THE DS! PLAY 100 HOURS AND REACH LEVEL 10!! Well, I'm happy that we'll be getting MMORPGs on the DS, and starting with a famous one like Maple Story might not be bad. But the kawai-ness of it... gah. Anyway, does the PSP have a MMORPG? Because if not, woulden't this be the first one on a handheld console? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Yeah, it'd be the first. Not a great first game of choice imo though, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Meh MMORPG's. That's all I have to say, Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 If there would be a good MMORPG on the DS where all you need is Wi-Fi. I'll be hooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCatPhysician Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Well, if you already have speech...what's the point of the text? Well, since this is a MMORPG, keyword "massive," there would be too much talking to hear anything, escpecially in a place like a town, where usually at least 30 people or so are talking at the same time. But that's a great idea for when having a private conversation with someone. Hey, that's a really good idea, because that's where all the major talking usually happens. Usually all you need public speech for is stuff like advertising items or something. When you find someone advertising something you want, you can instantly start a private conversation with them, and boom! You didn't have to type a thing.

KakTheInfected Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 It's really weird how Nintendo can turn a throw-away character such as a map vendor into a fleshed out RPG. Looks decent though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mutericator Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Ladies and gentlemen, I give you:The first MMORPG for Nintendo DS, Maple Story. About time, I called this almost a year ago. I KNEW this game would be perfect for DS. I remember speculating about how you could chat, you could have user-progammable buttons for common words you say so you don't have to type every single thing with an on screen keyboard. But this is rumored to have a speech-to-text function. I'm not sure how well that would work out. It would probably work best you could use it in conjunction with an on-screen keyboard, because speech-to-text is never perfect. Maybe the keyboard could have 2 backspace-type buttons. One backspace is for going back a character (obviously), and the other is to clear the previous word typed, in case the speech-to-text got the word completely wrong. Then you could either attempt to say it again, or hand-type it. I'd rather have a sprite-based version of Ragnarok Online than Maple Story, but I realize that RO is like a gig and a half at full size...

TheCatPhysician Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Did everybody forget that Maple Story has almost no depth and isn't fun for very long? Don't worry. I sure didn't and I've never played it. NEVER FORGET Yeah, that's why I quit playing it before. It is really fun to start up and get to around level 10, but then you realize there's no goal other than to level up, and you're wasting alot of time. Hopefully they will make some changes in the DS version. If not, it will at least be fun to start up again, and then after that I'm going to set a time limit for how much I play this game per day. Probably one hour. When I played before, I spent a few days doing nothing but Maple Story after school, and then I felt like I completely wasted those days. So this way I will not spend too much time on it, and hopefully the game will stay fresh longer. And Maple Story has some very good music, in my opinion. I havn't played in almost a year, but I still get a couple of the songs stuck in my head from time to time. The title song, and the theme from Kerring City.

JoeFu Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 CE, you never know... I doubt Tingle RPG will even get released here. It seems to be one of those quarky Japanese games we don't get over here. Or in your case I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 More games to look at. Spectrobes? I dunno what to make out of this game. Hotel Dusk: Room 215 Looks like a pretty cool mystery game or something. Kirby DS This looks like any other Kirby platformer, fun Lunar Knights Looks like that game Boktai for GBA. Looks like it might be a good title. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin I know everyone's probably seen this, but I'm be slow in the scene lately This game looks beautiful. Micro Machines V4 Multiplayer looks like it might be the only enjoyable thing about this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Red-Demon-Zero Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Who wants to bet Cloud is a playable character in Mario Hoops? The DS+Wii hurts my pockets. I don't even want to think about the PS3 Must Blow UP!!!!! BLOW IT UP!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnforgivingEdges Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hotel Dusk: Room 215 Looks like a pretty cool mystery game or something. Adventure game being developed by Cing, which is the same studio who did Trace Memory. Kirby DS This looks like any other Kirby platformer, fun Played it at E3, it's a return to the old school Kirby, with a few twists. The touch screen keeps health and enemies trapped in bubbles, and popping those bubbles gives Kirby whatever is inside; it's sort of like an item inventory. You can also combine items and enemies to form new items or fusion powers for Kirby to use. Lunar Knights Looks like that game Boktai for GBA. Looks like it might be a good title. In fact it's made by the same people (Kojima productions) and is considered part of the Boktai series. If you own a Boktai game and have it in the GBA slot on the DS, you can use the weather sensor on it for Lunar Knights. Otherwise, the game has its own weather system.
