Halo

In response to last weeks news of a canned Halo DS game, Bungie’s Brian Jarrard has set the record straight in an interview with Kotaku:

This rumor has been circulating for a while and as you know we even saw some real life screens and assets this week. Ultimately it’s up to Microsoft to decide if and when they take Halo to a different platform. That particular demo was in fact created and I believe it was an unsolicited pitch a long time ago but nothing ever came of it.

IGN have released a video and screenshots of the oft-rumored Halo game for the Nintendo DS. While details are scarce, apparently the game was being produced by a “major, triple-A publisher” before being scrapped.

With Halo and the DS each being money printers in their own right, I can’t help but wonder why this project was canceled - especially given how far into development it looks to be.
