Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

I just recieved the latest issue of EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly) and on page 70 it talks about intel that indicates that microsoft has in the works a brand-new Halo title for Nintendo's Game Boy Advance. I was shocked, along with the writer of the article. I searched back 3 pages in the underground and didn't see this posted anywhere. I assume, this being in EGM, that it is true. What are your thoughts?

I think that it would probably ruin the reputation

I don't think it would ruin the series. And they wouldn't loose all of their fans becuase I know I wouldn't leave. By the way, Halo isn't the only game Bungie has ever made. Some people like all of Bungie's games.

Shake I am hoping you are right. Thats what I figured, that microsoft wouldn't do that because than Halo would be making money for Nintendo. I hope its not true. As I said I am very shocked. And the writer of the article said he was too.

NOT A CHANCE!! HALO IS TOO VALUBALE FOR A COMPACT SYSTEM LIKE THAT! First of all the GBA DOSEN'T HAVE ENOUGH BUTTONS FOR A COMPLICATED GAME LIKE HALO! Even if this was true the anticipation for Halo2 would decrease greatly!

Bungie has first say. What I mean is it could be on PC or Mac too.

Haha! Looks like someone was fooled by that edited Halo/GBA video and made up a story about Microfoft making a deal with Nintindo. ;-)

Whether this is true or false, I still would get Halo 2 no matter what and Halo 2 will still be the greatest game ever, or so I hope. I do wonder about the buttons and how it would work. If they are going to do it, it better at least be a 1st person shooter and not turn into a GBA 2D 3rd person shooter. I hope either Achronos or Sketchfactor or some other Bungie Employee could comment on this an either confirm this or tell me EGM was misinformed. I hope its the latter.


-EDIT-
To Banshee Barron, it'd be very funny if one of the guys at EGM was fooled by something like that. I havent seen the video though. Can I have a link or something?

Sorry, but it was on HBO a very long time ago. I wouldn't know where to find it.

Oh, I thought it was something recent. It's ok, I really don't care anyway.

If Halo were to be made for the GBA, I would buy it simply because I already have one. But lets face it - the only good things ever to come out of Nintendo were the Metroids. A Metroid-style Halo game _might_ be OK, but I doubt it. There's just not enough that the player can do in a 2D environment to make it, well, Halo.

If Halo was going to be remade for a handheld, I'd want it on the PSP. Nothing else has the power to make it a Halo game. Still, Sony is Micro$oft's biggest competitor in the games market since Nintendo is so fond of killing itself, so I really can't see that happening as long as MS has Bungie in its pocket.

I am not amazed at everyone thinking I am crazy. Hell if someone else posted this I would have thought they were joking/crazy too but I read it in EGM, not some random website that spreads rumors. I don't think I can really believe this until I see it up somewhere at Bungie.Net.
