IGN editor Matt Casamassina writes that there was once a time when some smart publisher came up with a bright idea. Said publisher then contacted Microsoft and got the odd project started. A lot of egos were involved, and because of issues that the editor claims he cannot detail, the project was canceled.

What was the project? Halo for the Nintendo DS.

He says he knows this because he was able to get the back-story, and he was able to get a chance to play a build of Halo DS himself.

Halo DS

How does the game play? The IGN editor claims that is a lot like Metroid Prime Hunters but with a Halo aesthetic. He says that it is all too sad that the "too good of an idea" ended up canceled. Would you play Halo on the DS? More importantly If you were involved in its making somehow, would you have allowed the cancellation to occur?

This story sucks? This story rocks!

They have it on Mac, why not the DS? It would be an excelent marketing decision for both, not to mention it would disrupt some fanboys who now criticize Microsoft - they are a very good company, statistics don't lie. Anyway, I think any fan would buy it and it would probably be charged as one of the DS's new killer apps, possibly a good rival to Pokemon - even though I don't think they'll sell as many as the entire Poke franchise, it could at least rival the new diamond and pearl. If Nintendo released this close to christmas or early 2008 they'd make a killing.

Whoever developed this should just accidentally leak it to the P2P networks and blame it on hackers.

# The DS fanboys have been Own3d!!. — Guest 2007-01-05 13:12

In a "not" related story Microsoft studios are working on a PSP project.

LOL xD.

# There is no way this is real. — Guest 2007-01-05 16:52

Because if he did, surely he would not be allowed to reveal the existence of such a game under any circumstance. Cancelled or not.

# Damn. — mikekearn 2007-01-05 21:56

I would totally have bought (by which I mean downloaded) that game in an instant. And once I confirmed it didn't suck, then I would have actually bought it.

Also, no way in hell would I have let it be cancelled.

Possibly the stupidest idea ever to cancel this. I don't think you need to have asked if we would have played it or not. Of course we would and I'm not even a Halo fan.

# what? — Guest 2007-01-06 21:53

there is no way this is true, i mean honesly people why would microsoft let nintendo use their best franchise, never happen, never.

# OMG THAT LOOKS SOO FAKE CANT U GUYS TELL — tito0096 2007-01-07 14:28

thats the worst looking fake in the world the corners of the pic stick out and plus there is no way the ds hardware can handle a halo game seriously use your head people

and it is in no circumstance that this will ever happen nor you shouldn't believe every thing you see at high ranked game sites and i saw this on the main page

Are you some special sort of idiot? Of course it's a fake picture, the game was never in development.
