Bungie has crushed false rumours spread by Kokatu.com, claiming Bungie may have an eye on developing an FPS for Nintendo's Revolution. As you may have seen on various other sites, Kokatu stated that the next issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly would carry an interview with Halo creator and Bungie co-founder Jason Jones.
Bungie today quashed this on its official site, explaining quite simply that the interview doesn't exist, comparing the rumour to a possible Nintendo buy-out, and refraining from pointing out that aside from anything else, the concept of Halo on Revolution is perhaps the most absurd piece of gossip ever.
Interestingly, the site offers Bungie an arm wrestle over a bottle of Jack Daniels. Again, we find this interesting given that, the last we heard, 16 year-olds aren't allowed to drink and really should avoid physical competition.

not to say there is any shred of truth in the original article, but it wasn't saying that jhalo would come to Rev. It said the co-founder was having ideas that would work for Rev.
That would be like the head of HAL saying he wants out an wants to make a game for PSP, or the head of Retro saying he wants out and wants to make a game for xbox/PC/PS2... oh wait, those things DID indeed happen.

Not when your under contract with the claws of Bill Gates firmly grasped on your testicles. At least if you want to still have testicles the next day you don't.

You think Nintendo's contracts are easier to get out of than Microsoft's? lol. Nintendo makes you sign in blood. How is it that the DS wasn't leaked till the DAY they showed it, the controller was NEVER leaked, etc...
Look, IF the original statement is true, i'm sure he was talking on his own behalf and NOT Bungie's. So, depending on his contract, that shouldn't necessarily be a problem. Again, he never said anything about HALO coming to the Rev. (IF he said anything at all).
