Sega is partnering with Nexon to launch MapleStory: The Girl's Fate on the Nintendo 3DS in Japan in 2014, Siliconera reports.

The 3DS title is based on the popular massively-multiplayer online role-playing game, but is a standalone adventure. According to Siliconera, players will take on the role of a girl who is trying to rid herself of a spirit that is inside her. While doing so, players will be able to travel to different lands and experience a desert level, sky level, grassy fields and a sunken city.

Nexon America told Polygon that it has no plans to bring the title to the U.S. market. The South Korea trailer for the game can be viewed above.

...Well then.

eh.
just like that DS game they made a few years ago.
They don't care to sell it to us.

And thanks to stupid region locking we can't import it.

Just more stuff we'll never get.
You'd think that with this whole digital distribution buzz they'd at least make a god damn effort to sell it to us, since the only risk of loss is in the translation, as opposed to physical cartridges.

Kind of a small selection even for a standalone game thingy.

Well, the girl may end up being a resistance class in the actual Maple Story game later on. Certainly the korean fans will be like "omg, put this in the actual game now!" if it's any sort of hit.

But beyond that, kinda non-news for those of us not in South Korea.

I'm sure it's 25% game and 75% "HEY BUY NX, AND DLC HERE".

She's pretty much just a standard BaM (well, I haven't played it, but I assume there would be some differences in skills and such since this is on the 3DS rather than a PC). The game's already been released after all, this is just saying that they're going to release a Japanese version next year.

INBF she ends to be a new Sengoku character.... resembling the old Battle Mage.

No, no, no. -wags finger- More like. In before each Resistance class gets a second version like Demon Slayer/Avenger.

Not surprised Sega isn't helping bring it to america.

They can't even be arsed to bring their own PSO2 here.

Sega sure is doing stuff, I heard they recently bought Atlus.

...Don't remind me..

Every maplestory standalone game has been, so far, pretty boring and poorly built. I anticipate no exception
