Bungie Software today denied rumors of a Game Boy version of Halo, publishing a brief note to that effect on its official website. Though reports from seemingly reliable sources claimed a handheld version of the popular Xbox first-person shooter was in the works, Bungie had this to say:
"Recent internet reporting has suggested that a Game Boy version of Halo is in the works. We can officially lay that rumor to rest.

"There is no Game Boy version of Halo planned, and none in production. It's very unlikely that such a version would ever happen for all the obvious reasons, and the less obvious reasons, that the ColecoVision talks fell apart and The Bandai Pippin version is taking up all our development bandwidth…"

As I had thought the Halo for GBA rumor was just that. A rumor. But, in the tradition of making new rumors from old dispelled rumors: They denied a Game Boy version, but not a handheld version. Could Microsoft be secretly planning a handheld and developing a Halo game for it. After all, Xbox would be the only major console not to have a handheld and Halo is their killer ap.
I don't like Halo or most sports games so I don't have an Xbox or plan on getting one. I would like to play Blinx though, but that would not justify buying an anchor, ahem Xbox.
