'''Nexon Corporation''' of Seoul, Korea is a gaming company specializing in online games. It is best known for its extremely popular MMORPG, [[MapleStory]]. Nexon published its first title, [[Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds]], in 1996. In 1999 Nexon released [[Dark Ages (computer game)|Dark Ages: Online Roleplaying]] which was loosely based off the Korean game [[Legend of Darkness]], using the same server technology. | |||
Nexon has also released a few unsuccessful games to the North American audience in beta form which have since been dropped. Nexon has several games exclusively available to Korean players such as [[Mabinogi (game)|Mabinogi]], Elancia, and Crazy Arcade. | |||

It has produced several online video games, primarily [[MMORPG]]s and online action games. Most games have used a 2D perspective, including [[Platform|side-scrolling]], top-down, and isometric perspectives. Newer 3D titles are currently being published.
