Nintendo News | IGN Wii-k: Project H.A.M.M.E.R, Harry Potter, Halo DS [news]

Halo DS. Have to keep a closer eye on Zack and Wiki though.

Project Hammer Bros

Just listened to it, it's great that Zack and Wiki is a great game. It is certainly one of the best third party efforts so far graphically, but the fact it plays just as well is brilliant and means I have a option for a first puzzler for the Wii.

Dewy's Adventure, Chocobo Dungeon all look top draw, I hope they are equally good also.

No more news on a great GC game given Wii wings, the clue last week was that the developer who made B Kaitos would release one of their franchises on Wii. What could that Be?, I have not botherd digging myself. LS

Halo DS?? It's probably Halo Wars (the RTS spin-off) if anything...

Harry Potter sounds bloody awesome!!

LS, wasn't last week's teaser about a sequel coming to a game released at the same time as Baten Kaitos, rather than specifically one from its dev (the company Nintendo recently acquired, Monolith Soft of Xenosaga fame)?

Most presumed that since Tales of Symphonia wasn't far away from BK it could be ToS 2...But I'd be happy with Baten Kaitos 3.

This sounds like all very good news. Halo DS would be cool. Zack and Wiki sounds interesting, I am going to go look at a preview or something.

Yep, you could be right, I may have heard it funny. I am hoping it's ToS myself, that would be a great title for the Wii to aquire.

There are some really exciting games on the fringe, I cannot wait till E3< I will be locked to the Net feeding on all the info, and watching vids which I love doing.

Really glad to hear zack and wiki is turning out great.

Another Tales game would be great, but I highly doubt it'll actually be a ToS 2. RPGs never get sequels. Not unless they're really shit like FF X anyway...

And I don't get the bit about Project HAMMER... The rumour doesn't seem to have any relation to the game at all

What this talk of Halo DS, it will be shite it ever happens.

Apparently it's been in the works for ages, but was cancelled...Then Bungie went on record lately to deny the whole thing...and now it's back in this podcast. Interesting!

Oh, and I seriously hope Tales of the Abyss is remade on Wii. It was thought to be meant for GC...but ended up on PS2.

I think they are going to post some demo footage of it on the site to prove to the whiners that he Matt and Co do not lie about such games. I wonder how it looks in DS form. Probally not very good. [LS]

Come on, Metroid looked petty good graphically on the DS. The problem is, I know for a fact that Bungie will not be developing it if does come out on DS.

I think people doubt the DS's capabilities too much. You might not like Metroid Hunters, but if anything it proved that the DS is very capable of handling a very nice looking FPS. I think Halo DS would be very feasible. Throw in some online multiplayer and the DS could potentially have another great game on its hands. At the very least it would pull in a lot more people and help shore up a genre that has only seen one or two decent shooters on the DS.

Yeah it wouldn't have a problem on the DS but the online would suffer, limited probably to 4 maybe 6 online would be a bit underwhelming for a halo game and lets not forget about friend codes!
They would probably have to concentrate primarily on the campaign and coop mode if it was to be any good.

I really expected the online for Hunters to suffer from only four people too though, but it turns out that if it had any more it just would be too much action. It's all in how they work with the restrictions to make it feel like you don't need 16 people IMO.

Still though, an online co-op mode with one friend would be neat.

HOLY SHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HALO DS LIIVVEEEEEEESSSSSS . i that that ign matt was lying, but its really,maybe true!i cant wait to own all of ur asses online

I don't think he means it's actually coming out, I think he's just going to show a demo of something they got running on the DS.

Halo DS!?

How did I miss this!? I dunno, probably because seeing the words "Project H.A.M.M.E.R." in the title probably put me off the whole thing

It sounds incredibly unlikely that Halo DS would be real...
