The popular PC MMO Ragnarok Online makes its way to the Nintendo DS by way of XSEED. They announce today that Ragnarok Online DS is coming to the DS in winter 2009.
As of now, there are 3.14 million North American registered users on Ragnarok Online. I'd be willing to bet that quite a few of them would be willing to transition over to the DS game, which is said to bring the same gameplay and exploration that the PC title has.
”We could not be more pleased to be involved in bringing such a well-known and beloved series on the PC to a handheld platform,” said Jun Iwasaki, President of XSEED Games. “Ragnarok Online DS stays true to the original while adding elements to optimize the experience on the Nintendo DS.”
You'll be able to team up with two other players wirelessly to continue on the teamwork theme that the original game is built on. XSEED says that new players can enjoy the original storyline, now optomized for a handheld platform.
I'm interested. What about you?

Words can not describe how excited I am for this game to come Stateside. I constantly play RO when I have nothing else to do, and I look forward to a portable Ragnarok experience, even if it does not have the MMO factor.
One day i deleted it and get rid of my addiction, i mean, MMO.
If you guys are RO fans, don't expect it to be anything like the PC game... I was let-down by it and stopped playing pretty early on.
What are the differences?
Add a community of spammers, kill stealers, etc etc, and the whole experience goes down in flames. Besides, it got to the point that my social life was gone for a whole month.
Same goes for any MMO I guess.
I'm pretty sure this isn't gonna be really online as the original game, and if it turns out it is (I honestly don't know), then it'd be room-based play I'm sure. I remember somewhere about four being the max of people that can play at once. If it turns out to not have anything but ad-hoc, there ya go.
If you read the article, you wouldn't be saying that in the first place.
This news makes me quite happy. :O)
SOMETHING IS WRONG.
