Omg guess what? There will be a MapleStory DS!

Online game ‘Maple Story’ of Nexon which hits 14 billion won monthly sale across the world will be made for a mobile game device ‘Nintendo DS’. In a talk with the Electric Times in LA Convention Center, US, on Wednesday as a local time, David Lee CEO of Nexon Japan implied that the project of developing ‘Maple Story’ for Nintendo DS is processing, saying "We interested in characteristics and strategy of contents of Nintendo and decided to develop games for it, and we agreed on a large part of the plan with Nintendo."

and…the New Super Mario Brothers is already out and reviewed by IGN. The scores:

9.0 Presentation
The only letdown is that the extras are recycled mini-games from Super Mario 64 DS. Outside of that, this game is ridiculously well designed.
9.0 Graphics
Really slick hybrid 2D/3D engine enables level designers to pull off some awesome effects and gameplay elements, stuff that just weren’t possible back in the 2D days.
9.0 Sound
Classic Mario soundtrack with the enhancement of Mario vocals to begin and cap off each level.
10 Gameplay
Absolutely brilliant platforming action that takes what Nintendo’s built an empire on, and adding so much more to it. It’s not a tremendous challenge, but the game is fun as hell from start to end.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
If you just want to blow through the game from first castle to final battle, it’s over in just a few hours. But there’s so much more, including hidden levels and single cart multiplayer challenges.
9.5
Incredible
OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

Think all that’s enough? Well guess what’s still in the makings…A Nintendo DS Browser!
