Halo DS
One thing is sure, nintendo and microsoft are considered rivals in the gaming/console world so automatically any co-production between the brands would be put down as complete crap or a simple lie. Now, what if I told you theres plans for a “Halo” Game on nintendo’s handheld (DS) ? …Never is what I thought but IGN seems to sure as hell that its going to be released with more information being given next week!

As GameStooge points out, in a recent IGN podcast (06-15-07), editor Matt Casamassina once again brought up the subject of Halo DS. It’s just a very quick comment, but right around the 38:00 mark of the podcast, Casamassina says that Halo DS is:

A real game… It was a Halo on DS! And it never made it to the light of day, for whatever reason. That reason was most likely Microsoft or Nintendo…

But a lot of people just don’t believe that. We’re gonna lay down some ownage next week or soon afterward by showing you guys that that is a real game. You guys are about to be owned – all you nay-sayers.

Some may have thought that IGN being able to play a build/demo of the game was just a hoax. Now, maybe we can actually confirm that.

Well I guess we will just have to hold on unto next week!

It would be intersting to see how it looks and plays. I don’t doubt that it exists… games like MP Hunters and even (although quite bad) Rogue Agent, show that the DS can handle a FPS. Expect a lower poly count and that’s it really.

If its gameplay is even close to that of the xbox/xbox 360, then id expect it to be a hit. I would certainly buy it for my nintendo ds (for those long trips around the country)

I saw somewhere that it might involve a more strategic approach, mixing traditional Halo play with some type of Advance Wars-esque gameplay to link smaller areas together. I’m not sure that I would rather see a straight-ish port than a redesigned game.

There’s certainly a shortage of good FPS games oon the DS right now. Though the homebrew version DSQuake is good fun.
