[Master Chief ON] Halo DS did exist?

I have to wonder what stopped them from doing this. At this point, the DS is the dominant portable system. This game on the DS could have meant a lot of money.
They should release it, seriously.

That would be awesome, we need more portable FPSes. I'm a bit skeptical about whether it actually looked even close to the Xbox version, but it doesn't really matter: Halo was fun to play, not oggle at.
EDIT: The more I think about it, the more silly this sounds. I'm calling BS.
Actually, I remember hearing about Microsoft considering putting a game in the Halo franchise on the GBA. So this doesn't seem that out there.
All the time huh? They have done I believe only ONE so far. Hell, they might have done ZERO so far.
They've done GBA games, most people forget the GBA exists these days, it seems. ;-)
With that said, it was probably cancelled because A) it would dilute MSFT's live anywhere (especially considering it would more likely than not be online), and
And a really awful Mech Assault game.

Actually THQ published that (totally developed by Rare though). Oddly Nintendo itself was going to publish it in Japan but it was cancelled.
What.
Why haven't I heard of this.
Steam: Jacobontap
LoL: FutureBlues
It's totally rad. Turned into a turn based game though, kind of like Lords of the Realm.

$19.99 now and not too hard to find.
Don't panic, it's not very good.
XBL/PSN/Steam: APZonerunner
You are 100% correct. It was developed by Backbone Games who also did MechAssault: Phantom War as well as a lot of other console to portable revamps for the PSP. Age of Empires DS was published in the US by Majesco.
Bungie once said that in their weekly update. Before they were bought by Microsoft Bungie had a version of Halo on the PS2. But they did mention that they never got it running.
It is, it should be noted, slightly buggy. My friend at work complained about it a lot but did find it fun enough to finish.

definitely a 8/10 game.
Anyways, Majesco was behind it, even though it was a Microsoft property.
For $20 it seems hard to go wrong. Just make sure your name has more than three characters. I hear if it's less, the game will die.
Irregardless, it's not surprising that Halo DS got canned: that's Microsoft's biggest franchise since Windows. They don't want it on anyone else's product even if they don't have a competing product in that market.
Oh, and Halo DS would be fucking AWESOME.
It is a shame that it got canned, especially if it was already running.
ZOMG CONFIRMATION!!!!!1111
Have they done any lately, though? I.e., since the DS became popular. Actually, have any good GBA games come out lately aside from Swordcraft Story?
It is so sad to see such awesomeness never achieved. Another corpse of a great game tossed onto the pile along with System Shock 3, that Chrono Trigger remake, and a good Deus Ex sequel.
You forgot the part about Swordcraft Story not being good.

Shush, you.
I think part of a review on IGN actually got it right about the game. (Gasp.)
They said it's like a vanilla ice cream cone. It's nothing spectacularly original, but it's still pretty tasty.

Final Fantasy 5, Super Robot Taisen OG 1 and 2, Yggdra Union. Those are the ones I've bought that were fairly recent.
Obligatory (sound).

Isn't that the case with most rumours though? I mean, we're here to discuss crap about videogames. Whether or not the topic is crap it's still fun to talk about hte possibilities.
I really hope this happens. I'd even settle for a port of Halo 1 with DS controls and downgraded graphics.
