Halo DS was "fully playable"

[wraggster]

What must be the game that defined the Xbox and now the Xbox360 was playable on the Nintendo DS according to a newpost over at CVG (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=153416)


A version of legendary Bungie shooter Halo was "completely up and running and fully playable" on Nintendo DS, according to IGN's Matt Casamassina.

In a post in his official Blog, Casamassina says that Halo DS was the brain child of an unnamed publisher other than Microsoft, but was eventually cancelled due to the "many egos involved" and other issues not mentioned in the post.

Even more amazing is that long-named journo also claims to have played a build of Halo DS, and describes it as "Metroid Prime Hunters but with a Halo facelift."

"I had the opportunity to run through the beginning beach area and noted while playing that it looked like Xbox Halo except on DS, it was running fast, and the control was responsive." He continues: "the trademark Halo music even played out of the tiny speakers of Nintendo's handheld. It is really, truly a damned shame that certain publishers couldn't make this happen."

So our hopes have been raised and dashed in just a few paragraphs. Would you have bought Halo DS?

Come on Microsoft, bring the the great FPS to the DS :)

Hahaha, Halo on DS. Yeah, right.

[Atmoshuo]

halo = overrated junk

[Xcliber]

sure halo sucks now but it would be nice to have another fps like metroid on the nds

[toymin80r]

why'd they cancel making halo on the ds? Halo would be way better than Metroid, especially the original halo, not the crap bungie's doing with Halo 3 and what they've already done with Halo 2.

they should have made halo ds i would have bought two copies one to play and would to keep as collector's item...lol ... i t would have been fun too using wifi to multi-player and hearing killamanjaro through the ds speakers would have been priceless.

Halo's overrated. But that's not the point.
How in the Hell would it run on the DS? No offense to the DS, but it would have to look awful if they wanted the player to see further than ten feet. The DS has even less buttons than the PSP, so there'd be no way to pull off a lot of necessary maneuvers.
I doubt Microsoft would allow their precious Halo games to go beyond XBOX or PC. They'd make their own portable system before they let Nintendo have a Halo game.

o_O Seriously.. what kind of retarded developer makes a game and polishes it WITHOUT the rights to publish it? That's just stupid.

This is bs.

[kcajblue]

How in the Hell would it run on the DS?it could be like halo zero.

[bigboicee]

But remember they made Oddworld on the GBA...

[ACID]

I think it would be nice to have another fps on the go.

There can be buttons on the touch screen -_-'' and of course Halo DS won't be the same Halo what you have played on Xbox.

I like to play Halo on DS because DS have only few fps game and only one is good >:I
