This is from the mailbag on their Game Boy site:



I hear things... Specifically, a Halo game for GBA.

No, I'm not a crackpot, or even a 10 year old kid. I'm not joking. I hear from a trusted source that this may happen. Not sure what KIND of game it may be.

What are you waiting for? Go ask someone.

Well, this was something that I've known for months about, but was literally sworn to secrecy by the people involved (just like many OTHER things I know but can't say). But since it's been mentioned in another publication, I can confirm that, yes, Halo is in the works for the GBA. That's all I can say, on risk of having my fingernails ripped off with a bottle opener.

I'm not gonna buy it, but that's primarily because I don't really want a handheld console to begin with.

Yeah honestly, The IGN Mailbag is lame anyway, anything you read there is most likely a rumor. Its mostly just fanboys speculating about what they would like. Unless its an IGN news story, dont take anything to heart.

Microsoft already lets some of its studios work on GBA titles. Heck, last time I checked, most of what Rare was working on was for GBA. There was a remake of Donkey Kong Country, a Rare (MS owns Rare) game. There was also an Oddworld game.

Nintendo is a rival (not the biggest threat though) in the home console business, BUT the big 'N' isn't a rival in the handheld market because MS isn't interested in it enough to make a console. I wouldn't be surprised to see more of MS Game Sudios' games on Nintendo handhelds to help undercut Sony's PSP.

I can't believe you called me an idiot for thinking it will happen. It WILL happen...it's already been confirmed. Microsoft's ownership disallows Bungie to make anything for other HOME CONSOLES...not handhelds. Just like RARE.

Nintendo doesn't deserve Halo! Keep on the only system that is good enough for it...the Xbox!

Halo on GBA would need entire recoding, I am sure Microsoft would sell rights to the recoded game, but it will take awhile to program. The rights to a Halo game on GBA are not rights to X-Box Halo, they clearly can't make sequels too.

Once again, don't believe anything until it comes from Bungie.

yeah remember when THQ or someone made deal with nintendo to bring some xbox games to GBA?Oddworld: Munches Oddessy was created for GBA and it was released.

Ach! Was ist los?

Straight from the official Bungie news feed comes this announcement: http://bungie.net/News/Story.aspx?link=A5A942B0-EA26-4422-A02 A-50A45CAC0440

If you're too lazy to click the link, it's an article stating that there is no handheld Halo project and never has been. End of discussion.

Hell no everybody knows nintendo makes the suckiest game concils. I will not let bungie make any halo games for nintendo even though I cant do anything about it. If bungie makes halo games for nintendo they will meet one PIST OFF halo fan.

Halo will always stay true to only microsoft products. A GBA Halo would suck anyways, because you have to have good graphics to play Halo.

ye i think the idea is great and would work well. to see a GBA type halo game (what it would look like) go to http://www.consoletroopers.com/public/hbc/hbc_frameset.htm
its a great site and though the game plays poorly on the free download it shows a halo game like this has lots of potential. (at least look on the screenshots page)!

IGN also says that Halo was originally coming out on the PS2. My point: IGN sucks.
