Korean basketball MMO coming to the US

Judging from the majority of MMOs one can purchase at any convenience store in Taipei, most of them would be a tough sell for the American or European market. That’s not stopping one Korean company, though, nor the American distributor from pitching … a basketball MMO?

"People have tried to bring other types of online games from the Asian marketplace," said Leo Olebe, the game's brand manager. "But not every game has that "it' factor like this."

Olebe says "Freestyle" will be the first sports MMO to tap the North American market when it is officially released in May ....

"If you have Windows XP, you can play it," said Olebe. "It'll play on just about any computer. They're playing this game in western China."

Guess those Mac users in Xinjiang are still out of luck.
