Screw "along the lines of"! Screw Halo! Give us Rolling Thunder Advance!

Why do I get the feeling Microsoft would rather have Nintendo holding the handheld market by the happy sack, not Sony?

 

[Naked Snake]

This doesn't suprise me in the least really, Doom 3 will come to GBA too, I've been saying it forever.

Because they are more worried by Sony in the console market than by Nintendo, it makes sense.

If this game turns out to be average, this might cheapen the Halo brand name a bit.

Pana where've you been?! Get in the normal mapping thread pronto, I need answers!!!

Why do I get the feeling Microsoft would rather have Nintendo holding the handheld market by the happy sack, not Sony?

Because it's true. I was listening to an interview with J. Allard made sometime at E3, and if you'd heard his comment about PSP and DS, his line of thought would be flat out obvious.

Until I see some support through DS I will continue yawning.

Microsoft now probably has the resources to let Rare make DS games like Banjo Kazooie, Perfect Dark, etc. Games that people would actually rabidly anticpate a release for. Games that might sell truck loads and turn a profit for that studio. And although we already have Metroid Hunters on DS, having a Halo would only help to bring even more people to the platform.

Rare on DS is a pretty exciting thought actually. Especially considering how many classics they made on the N64 and that the DS is actually more powerful than one.

A farmed out Halo on GBA is pretty snore worthy at this point IMO.

Marco, you mean this?

What do you think of Nintendo's new handheld?

Allard: The DS? That touch-screen thing? Awesome. Awesome.

Have you had a go on it yourself?

Allard: No I haven't touched it, but it's just genius. I think it's a great, great, great idea. I didn't understand the dual-screen thing, the Metroid map, blah blah blah, whatever. I think that touch-screen is going to revolutionise the way kids communicate. I think it's text-messaging for kids. They're gonna scribble notes in class or on the bus on wireless network and stuff. It's going to be awesome. But I think its for the same demographic that the Game Boy is.

And PSP?

Allard: I'm skeptical that people will want it. The people that buy PlayStations have cell phones. I don't know.. They may have iPods, but I'm not sure they're going to carry that thing [PSP] around in their pocket or around their neck or whatever - it's very big. [But] it is a beautiful screen, and I like the analogue stick.

 

[Agent Dormer]

Makes sense for Microsoft to support the lesser of two evils (from their viewpoint).

[Mejilan]

Yikes, can ye imagine a FPS wireless multiplayer Metroid and a FPS wireless multiplayer Halo all on the same system (DS) around the same time?

I think the world would end.

 

[Wario64]

:O!!1

Damn, the characters are so big...so what, you can only see 1 enemy on screen at all times? (and I'm assuming this pic isn't real)

 

[Son of Godzilla]

It's a fighter.

 

[Mr. Lemming]

I'm hoping for the RTS Halo. Myth was very awesome.
