Halo DS is real, more details next week, says IGN

The Halo DS project may have been nothing but vaporware – canceled and left deep within the inner crevices of Cortana’s fiber optic network – however, IGN promises to reveal more details about the demo they played earlier this year.

As GameStooge points out, in a recent IGN podcast (06-15-07), editor Matt Casamassina once again brought up the subject of Halo DS. It’s just a very quick comment, but right around the 38:00 mark of the podcast, Casamassina says that Halo DS is:

a real gameÂ… It was a Halo on DS! And it never made it to the light of day, for whatever reason. That reason was most likely Microsoft or Nintendo…

But a lot of people just don’t believe that. We’re gonna lay down some ownage next week or soon afterward by showing you guys that that is a real game. You guys are about to be owned – all you nay-sayers.

Some may have thought that IGN being able to play a build/demo of the game was just a hoax. Now, maybe we can actually confirm that.

Next week isn’t all that far off anyways. It’s already the weekend, so we’ve only a few days left to really find out. “Finish the fight,” or so says Halo 3. Finish the rumor, more like. That’s what we want right now. If you want to hear the podcast for yourself though, click the Read link below. Remember, the Halo DS comment was somewhere around the 38:00 mark.
