Clips: Halo GBA Footage?

Remember Halo DS? A few weeks back IGN's Matt Casamassina gloated he'd played a DS version of Bungie's shooter, a claim that was met with equal amounts of "how odd" and "that's complete bullshit".

So what do you think of this vid? For starters, it's running in blurry footage from an emulator, so its authenticity is far from assured. Then you've got the shoddy "alpha" presentation, which while sticking to Casamassina's story of it being conceptual also could just as easily be a fanboy job.

Me? I call real deal. There were too many people whispering about this thing for it to not be true. What I want to know, though, is why or how this was even conceived. Were Microsoft ever seriously entertaining the idea of letting Halo turn up on a Nintendo handheld? Would Bungie ever seriously entertain the idea of their FPS masterpiece ending up as a Game Boy side-scroller?

Who knows. Just enjoy the vid.
