Bungie may beleaving MS, could awsome FPSs come to Nintendo?

http://www.gamespot.com/news/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=25955364&sid=6180203&tag=latestnews;title;1

Now Bungie has said before that they were thinking of even developing Halo on the DS.Wouldnt it be aswome if Nintendo got Bungie at its best. I mean MS got Rare and now Rare is on an innovate-less console not doing so hot.

I think Bungie could really make a great FPS on Wii.

OF course this rumor is not likely because Halo wars is still being developed by Bungie.

Just because they're leaving Microsoft doesn't mean there are automatically going to make games for the Wii.IceWarrior93

No but they aren't just going to abandon making games and what better console than Wii, I mean like I said there are only really 3 choices, handheld only, which I don't see happening, multiplatform which is the biggest possiblity and Wii only which is another big possiblity because of how well it's selling and how much money they could make if they released a killer ap for Wii.

Microsoft OWNS Bungie. They can't just leave. Read the Rumor Control article on Gamespot.BigJerm1

Microsoft could own Bungie and their IPs but the developers could say bye-bye to Microsoft.

Bungie isn't going anywhere, any more than Retro is leaving Nintendo.Spelunker

So Bungie is still owned by Ms?

Well according to this link they are co developing Halo Wars,I dont know???

Also if Bungie left MS then going to Nintendo would be the next logical step. I never said they were going to, nor did I say they were leaving MS. This is just hypothetical but also very interesting.

I think they could make a serieously aswome sci fi shooter on Wii as long as Nintendo give them a good budget and alot of time just like MS did.

You definitely cant say that 100% sure. Something is definitely going on. besides its cool to speculate.

True, like With one of the Rare devs who left to make his own studio called Ninja something....(they're making a wii game!)

It could also be possible that one of the Bungie people leave MS and make their own company...that's what a lot of pro devs are doing

microsoft can buy the rights to halo just like nintendo did with dk but if bungie made a totally new fps that would be greatlolag

Uh im pretty sure they already owned it and MS already owns the rights to halo

I really think they would make some big bucks with this game.

Yes. Bungie is owned lock, stock, and barrel by MS.

Bungie as a whole doesn't matter, it's the people who make it up that means something.

While Microsoft owns Bungie they have no hold on the people who make it up. Chances are that now with the hoopla gone and the handwriting on the wall when it comes to Microsoft development some of the parts of Bungie might decide to leave.

It's the same deal when Clover broke apart and the peices went various places, the same thing is going to happen to Bungie. The nice thing for Microsoft is that most people don't look deeper then the brand name so as long as it's still called Bungie no one will care what's under the hood.

Honestly don't get me wrong... I love the Halo franchise... and Bungie is an exceptional company...

But if you look at their records of past games, I don't see anything worth while besides the Halo franchise. And they basically became as big as they are now thanks to Microsofts investment in PR since the xbox days.

Halo 3 despite being extremely fun is kinda out of date in terms of shooting mechanics compared to the other FPSes coming out.

Now if Epic made an FPS for the Wii... that would definitely be something!
