It boggles my mind that Rockstar is willing to remake the cl)Assic GTA 3 for a certain cell phone, and sell it for presumably $5, but they don't plan yet to make it for the 3DS (if they're looking mobile) and sell it for $40 It would play well, the new graphics look good and the 3DS can handle it. Add in online and it's a sweet deal (even if they didn't add online modes, a straight up remake in 3D would be cool by me) Does it bug anyone that they don't even consider the 3DS? I would buy a GTA 3: Tenth Anniversary 3D Edition in no time. That's an actual port/remake I'd love to see
I agree, why would you sell it on a mobile smartphone with no physical buttons and worse gaming then a handheld. The 3DS is meant for games, the controls and graphics would make it that much more comfortable to play. If it was on the 3DS i would much rather have it over a smartphone game. Developers these days, if anyone was up for it I would make a petition, it seemed to help with Majora's Mask remake it's worth a try.
cell phone games are cheap and easy to make a lot of companies have started embarrassing them do i care for them not really but i careless for gta3 and its better not to have the series on the 3ds

Nah, the MM petition hasn't done anything since, well there is no remake. Its funny, I want the remakes to stop already but everyone keeps throwing good ones at me! A Majora's Mask remake would probably be lost on the majority of the 3DS's audience since it plays differently than OOT. I'm not against it as a whole, and it's ironic that I want less remakes but the GTA3 remake just makes so much sense.

Why not on 3DS? I'm sure it won't happen, but I can't see what it could hurt if it did come out on 3DS. Chinatown Wars was amazing and sold over 1.2 million copies. I'd call that a success, plus the game was one of the best GTAs

-I think to say that all cell phones are cheap and easy to make may be a bit presumptuous. -Why do you believe that it is better not to have Grand Theft Auto on 3DS?
Um, how? The 3DS has a 800Mhz ARM11 CPU, a 200Mhz GPU, and 128MB FCRAM. Don't iOS games only use like 20MB RAM from the iPhone? I'd think a port would be more than capable, especially since you're playing a lower resolution. If you want more details on the real specs of the 3DS's multi-core CPU instead of the fake specs leaked last year by IGN, check this out
Is GTA multiplayer that enjoyable? I haven't had the chance to try it, myself. The only thing I enjoyed about GTA IV online was the races. These races were very samey though, with a first corner crash deciding the results for about 95% of all the races I participated in.
Chinatown Wars sold horrible. Its not gonna happen

While no, it may not happen
CW sold just fine. Unless you call 1.2 million units (and it sold BEST on the DS, better than on PSP or iOS) bad. Considering it likely netted T2 a healthy $30 million in profit, I doubt they'd call if failure even if it was a slow starter at retail

Well it hasn't done anything in a while, but considering Majora's Mask, it is much darker then OOT, but it doesn't play much differently, same mechanics, same engine. Also The Majora's Mask petition got Nintendo's attention and they said that a Majora's Mask remake is a great possibility due to the large fan base. That's pretty great, just because we haven't heard anything in a while doesn't mean it isn't helping.
I really do not care of GTA that much. But i get your point. The problem is it's easy and cheap for gaming companies to make mobile games. they think it's the wave of the future. honestly though i don't see serious gamers switiching over to mobile gaming. mobile games like angry birds and cooking dash are fun and all but i still need handheld for more serious games. not only that mobile games drain the battery like a toilet flushing.

Actually, it was a british developer, not American, called Rockstar North. brittish or not doesn't make it any less overrated I wouldn't call it over-rated. It did the PS2 a world of favours in terms of console sales, it single handedly expanded the games market during that time and it has had, by far, the biggest influence on the games industry in past 10 years. No single game or series has done that since.

Considering GTA IV sold nearly 20 million thats a failure

Well each game had a vastly different development cycle though, eh? I assume Chinatown Wars would have taken a lot less resources to build, and thus a lot cheaper. And I don't think they would expect a spin-off to sell as well as a main entry in the series.

True but 1.3 over three platforms is like 5% of what GTA IV had. Thats a flop on all counts
