Half Life 2 on a Nintendo Console -- truth

Will this most anticipated title make it to a Nintendo system
afterall?
Speaking recently with Vossey.com, Doug Lombardi, marketing director
of Valve, let slip that Half Life 2 will be available to Nintendo
gamers in the future.

Vossey.com : Will Half-Life 2 be released on other platforms?

DL : Yes, notably on Xbox. The game will be available on Xbox but not
until 2004. The partnership with Microsoft isn't exclusive and we will
also see this game on the next consoles by [edited by oli] and
Nintendo.

So there you have it, not a GameCube game but looking like an early
title for Nintendo's next system, currently known as N5. Dare we
suggest it may even be a possible launch game for the system? The
dates point to it being a real possibility, and it would certainly be
a great piece of first day software.

It'd make perfect sense, and the next Nintendo system would do a lot more
justice to the game. Too bad us PC people will have already went for the PC
version.

Actually HL2 will be rather old by the time the next Nintendo system
arrives in 2005 or 2006. however, the games based on the HL2 engine,
that follow HL2 the game, won't be too old for the next Nintendo. so I
guess this works out. Same goes for games based on the Doom3 engine.

You think it'll actually get here that quickly? *cough* Christmas 2000 for
Gamecube *cough*.

Though they have their work cut out for themselves, there's already a bit of
marked difference between the Nintendo of then and the Nintendo of now.
