Freestyle crime games are awesome on the wii (Godfather, Bully) since I've never played the original GTA games I think it'd be really cool to be able to play on the Wii.

Its really all about the developer, and whether they want to spend the time and money to create the port. If I remember correctly, Rockstar already stated that the GTA series wasn't really fit for the Wii (but they didn't mean any disrespect to the console).

I would say the chances are very slim, but they are certainly better than with the GameCube.

I'd say 0% since porting down is a lot harder than porting up.

GTA III and the spin-offs wouldn't need to be ported down only GTA IV and as you said the chances of that would be zero imo. I'm hoping for a San Andreas port(I've never played it properly) or a San Andreas "Stories" game.

if the wii is still selling, i think that there is a good possibility, especially if some of the more mature titles sell well on the wii.:)

Who knows? They gave us Bully and Table Tennis, so the series could possibly come to the Wii. Rockstar released the GTA 1 on the GBA.

I do agree with them though: the GTA games don't really seem to fit the Wii's style. I'd say if someone wanted to make a sandbox crime type game, it'd have to be like No More Heroes; the game would have to be the video game equivalent of a B movie (not that that's a bad thing...NMH is awesome!). So basically, it would be GTA mixed with Evil Dead; a San Andreas starring Bruce Campbell. Not a bad idea, actually.

Actually I just hope it never does get ported.
That game is trash.

Besides Manhunt I don't know what games like that exist.

I guess decay has to start somewhere.

What about The Godfather: Black Hand Edition? That was an awesome game, IMO, and it was kinda GTA style.

Totally forgot about The Godfather. That was a good GTA-style game, and a good game in it's own right. So yeah, I suppose you can make a GTA game without it being slightly goofy, but personally I like the goofy games better. Or maybe I just like Bruce Campbell?

You know that image you see sometimes in TV or other forms of media? The guy with the chainsaw hand and the shotgun? That would be Bruce. All hail the king!

Well, I don't believe I have seen, or even heard of this "Evil Dead" movie(before now, of course). It looks a little before my time.

That could become reality with EA buying out Take 2. EA would then force Rockstar to put ports of GTA games out on the Wii to make $$$$$. I'm sure they would play fine. Just don't think they would look very pretty.

Yup, if they believe they can make money doing it, then they'll do it. I imagine they'd like to see some more evidence that this type of game has a market on the Wii though.

Hopefully 0%. PS2's are cheap, and GTA copies are everywhere... for the wishful thinking of having it ported you could just buy a PS2 and get not only GTA but the whole library opened up to you. I see no reason to get these games on the Wii.

Why do people own only one system if they are interested in games that are found 'cheaply' on a different system? Really, at minimum wage that is less than 2 weeks work... and for someone pre-working age, make a $20 allowance deal for cheap labor around the house and you have it in less than 2 months...
