Turns out they were more than rumors (videos included).

Unfortunately, the project was canned, and it'll never be released for unknown reasons. Can't say that I would've bought it though. I really don't like the control scheme for shooters on the DS.
Probably canceled when the Wii started selling like hotcakes and MS started seeing Nintendo as a competitor again.
That's interesting. Having played maybe half of Metroid Prime: Hunters, I'm sure that I wouldn't have been too crazy about the control scheme of that game.
Did you see the link at the bottom to Mark Bozon's blog entry about some crappy Shrek game for some crappy system that blatantly ripped off music from Ocarina of Time?
The guy should have been smart and sold it privately for thousands to some group that wants to dump the ROM. Either way I don't really care. Let me know when they make Gears of War for DS. ;p
Look, the bottom line is that the DS is simply not going to be the best handheld system on the market until it comes in multiple colors and has a Zelda game, a Super Mario Bros. game, a Pokémon game, a couple Castlevania games, and courtroom, cooking, surgery and pet dog simulators, and Mario Kart, Tetris and Tetris Attack games that can be played online.

...Wait, what?
Yes but it doesn't have Final Fantasy 7 spin off games. Thus PSP is now selling much better. 😛
Halo on DS? Nah, not really interested. The story mode in Hunters may have sucked, but the multiplayer was everything I would have wanted.

You could sell poop under the name "Final Fantasy", and it would still sell well. :tongue:

See the forthcoming FF4 DS. Not saying FF4 is bad - heck, it might be the best iteration in the entire series. But the 3d rendition on the DS just looks like ass.
Yes it does. But the CG/Full Motion Video looks fan-fucking-tastic. If only they'd remake FF4 on PS2 at a minimum it would be a worth while remake. I'd rather though see a PS3 & Xbox 360 remake.
I'd rather have an original 2D Final Fantasy than a 3D remake. =\
Yeah,and yes I heard about halo ds.
I dout it whould have been as good as the
xbox halo games?
There's no question about that, the Nintendo DS is a horrible platform for a FPS, while the original Xbox was ideal at the time and is way more powerful than the DS.

It's just funer to, becuse
multi player halo for ds
whould be a little hard
not including the controls
but that fact that the
t.v screen gives you a better
feel of whats behind you
then a tiny ds screen.
