Title: Halo for the DS
Post by: Puff Daddy on October 06, 2007, 03:43:25 PM
OMG!?!! OMG!>! PWNAGE!

Take that Microsoft. A straight jab to the nuts! Halo is coming to the Nintendo DS. CAN YOU DIG IT?

What else is there to say people?

In case you haven't heard also, Bungie is now an independent company and not owned by Microsoft. However, Microsoft still owns the rights to Halo. Therefore, they have the authority of releasing more Halo games if Microsoft wants to either it be on their console or another. But really? Many people, to this day, still say that the only reason Xbox was a sucess was because of Halo. And the only reason why the 360 is here is because of that sucess. Now I won't deny that the 360 is a pleasant console and has done many things well, but take Halo out of the picture. Even I can't imagine an Xbox anymore. So why would they ever let Halo slip out of their grasp?

In any case, here's another link (more on the Bungie/Microsoft split) for those that do own a 360 and may actually care about this...

Well, have you seen the videos on Matt Cassamasina's blog on IGN? He has two early developement copies of the game and they are actually playing it. It was running fairly smoothly and would have been nice to see for real on the console.

Videos are here (http://blogs.ign.com/Matt-IGN/2007/10/02/67886/).

No poop...huh?

That was interesting. Here I thought I was writing this to be a little informative and a little bit to be an ass and peeve off a few fanboys who don't particular pay attention to everything video games 24/7 like a loser like me. Anyways, the videos are pretty cool. I bet Microsoft comes out with a handheld video game console like the DS or PSP in a year or two with Halo on that console. Just watch...

That looks pretty fun. Microsoft should have released that game, one way or the other the Wii will put one of the other systems out of business and the Wii60 could have been a reality.  ;)

Well it actually wasn't Bungie working on the project, if I recall. It never got past the early days since, well, Bungie didn't give their approval.

Too bad the game was just an edited version of Goldeneye for the DS. (Though i haven't really played halo much, i know when things are the same.. especially things this obvious)
Anyway.. Yeah. it was just an edit.. Why did they have to do something like that?
