Bully: Scholarship Edition is coming to the Wii and also the 360. it currently has a release date of Winter 2007. it will feature new content.
As for gameplay, think of it as GTAlite...............
It consists of a series of storyline driven missions required to complete the game, and a series of optional side missions. The main storyline is linear but the gameplay not as much, with the main character, Jimmy, having the option to roam over the school campus and town, completing missions whenever he feels like it. The game makes extensive use of minigames. Some are used to earn money, others to improve Jimmy's abilities.
School classes themselves are done in the form of minigames, broken into five levels of increasing difficulty. English, for example, is a word scramble minigame, and as Jimmy completes the level, he learns to apologize to bullies, deliver better taunts, apologize to prefects and finally to apologize to the police.
Similar to the Grand Theft Auto series, Jimmy has a multitude of weapons available, although they tend to run along the lines of things a school boy might actually attain, such as slingshots, bags of marbles, stink bombs, and later in the game a bottle rocket launcher and a spud gun. He also has an assortment of vehicles to drive - mainly bicycles with different abilities, but also a moped, a go-kart and a skateboard
the Original got good reviews, IGN gave it 8.9, Gamespot 8.7, 1up even gave it a perfect 10.
