I saw this posted around, though it would make for good discussion, I wish there was a new Powerstone !

[TubularLuggage]

i think its fake too...but having nintendo's software behind ms power/money would be rediculous.

I interpret 'taking on' as that they'd be challenging it with their own. In this case, there definitely wouldn't be Nintendo software on an MS handheld.
However, if they mean that they're putting MS titles on Nintendo's next handheld, since I think they've realized it would be futile to try to beat it, that would be awesome.

I hope this is true because there were a lot of cool things in there.

[BlightedArt]

Hm. No Sadness by Nebris.

Damn.

[MeTroiD]

it seems way too good to be true, but damn, just imagine killer instinct 3, if thats announced thats the 1 thing that'll convince me to buy a 360 right now, i've been thinking about it, but right now i just haven't seen the game for my tastes, and i've yet to actually play a 360, so yea just gotta do some research, but damn, KI3 would make me forget about all my other doubts

[lolcrica90]

Killer Instinct 3 would be so cool. I'll also be keeping tabs on the Bourne game. When I read that, the first game that came to mind was GoldenEye. I don't know why, but I sure hope whoever is developing that game will have some influences from it. Also Banjo had me feeling nostalgic. *wipes tear*

[way2lazy2care]

Phantom Dust 2 is Announced

stopped here... came... too much awesome... TOO MUCH AWESOME!

Honestly, phantom dust (AND I WILL SAY THIS EVERY FUCKING CHANCE I GET!) is one of the most underrated games of last gen. It had great graphics, decent story, AMAZING multiplayer. It was deep, it did almost everything right. Look it up on IGN or youtube... simply amazing...

I have to go masturbate because of this...

[Nab]

Meh, rumors. If this is true, they've got a pretty nice lineup in my opinion. Let's just see how the others will answer...

[TubularLuggage]

Hm. No Sadness by Nebris.

Damn.

I'm pretty sure Sadness is a Wii exclusive.

o ya, good point...haha, wow, i completely read it differently (and prob wrong)...

still, nintendo + ms would be nuts.

Apparently Halo almost made it to the DS. That would've been pretty awesome.
I call shenanigans on this whole list mainly because I think MS is too smart to try introducing their own handheld. After all, the supposedly unbeatable Playstation brand didn't help the PSP beat the DS. They're probably aware that they're better off putting titles on the DS. The DS doesn't directly compete with any MS product, and it takes money from Sony via the PSP, who also make the PS3, which is very direct competition to MS's 360.

I think a handheld was in the works from the start. I think it's going to be more like a media center though. MP3/internet/gaming in one device. Without the crappy new format of the PSP... idk... purely speculation on my part... but man being able to go on live from a handheld would get it MAJOR brownie points instantly with me... What if u cud play XBLA game on it with people on the 360? or after u buy the game u can get it on ur handheld for free or sumthin... idk...

[Meng]

Bullshit imo , but if its true i need to get me an x360 sharpish for powerstone 3

To pack the components into a handheld to make it as powerful as a 360 would be obscenely expensive.

[freeze]

Half of Microsoft's E3 conference is gonna be all about Halo 3. And the other Half will be about trying to pull in a broader audience.

Lol or they can just completely demolish competition by showing a trailer for Gears of War 2.
OR MAYBE GEARS OF WAR WARS! A RTS thats a Gear of war spin-off!

XBLA games aren't exactly taxing on the system... :-p I didn't mean 360 games, I meant the games like geometry wars etc.

Well that would be a more realistic goal.
For some reason I read it as 360 games, and thought you meant disc based ones.

[Anonymous1c4]

Power Stone 3 and Fable 2 Online Co-op? Damn, I hope so.

[turdman]

if the powerstone one turns out to be true and its as good as originals (which i highly doubt) then ima go get me a 360

[GosuJimoen]

hmmm.... Nintendo adding MS games of pure win to their lineup? sounds awesome and would also help adding to its turn around from the kids plaything the gameboy turned it into o.0


Halo on the DS though? sniping would suck. it would be like going back to classic doom (not that there is anything wrong with breaking out that every now and then when your bored).
