One of the guys I watch on youtube and asked Geoff over Twitter if he thinks GTAV would end up on WiiU and wondered if Geoff had asked Rockstar yet. Geoff responds: "I wouldn't bet on it for WiiU, why do you want it on that system? It will be great on ps3 and 360."

What a dbag. I don't own a WiiU myself, but I don't see the problem in it being on 'that system.' They could do some really cool things with the pad. Imagine being able to see the entire map on the pad and having the ability to set destinations just by touching the screen. It has been proven already that the WiiU has AT LEAST (possibly) caught up with current gen systems as far as power so that shouldn't be an issue.

Here's the original video, btw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LstGyELeBGw

No. More pro PS360 than Nintendo bashing.

Their young audience is better off with peaceful Mario and Pokemon games rather than GTA.

A little overdramatic, aren't we TC?

A large amount of people who are into GTA would probably want it on the 360 or PS3 even if there was a WiiU version, so he Geoff isn't exactly wrong.

I am not surprised at all. I got a Wii U for Nintendo franchises. I enjoy it for what it is but Nintendo kind of screwed up on not making it more powerful if you ask me.

Not Nintendo bashing, but he really is disregarding Nintendo, and the fact that their are some people who may want it on the Wii U...like people who don't have a 360 or PS3.

It's not bashing, it's a question: Why do you want it on WiiU? It won't look/run any better (R* would do a straight port at best), it wouldn't be designed for the Gamepad so stuff would feel tacked on, and since when do Ninty fans want that "immature" GTA series anyway?

GTA IV? or V?

That's not exactly a ringing endorsement there of your own. Why must you keep trashing Nintendo?!?!:P

Srsly though, if it comes out, it comes out. You're not going to know until well after PS3/360 launch whether or not it's coming though, so if it's a game you gotta play ASAP, you're going to get one of those versions anyhow. If it doesn't come out, it'd probably have more to do with the expense of the port versus the expected sales, since it's install base will still be small, and many early adopters having a 360/PS3 already.

lol Yes. Ok, ok guys. Bashing or not...do you guys not think that Nintendo would want to do something with GTA like they did with Batman? I had my doubts with the pad controller as well, but I see the potential in it after seeing that. GTA on anything is selling. Period. Not just kids buy Nintendo systems.

Meh, don't care. Wii U only good for Nintendo games, JRPGs, and party games. That is what I'll be using it for anyways. GTA V on PC or Nothing.

lol Yeah, I edited my post in the same minute that you posted this. smh. It's just surprising that it hasn't been confirmed yet and though it may not had been a 'bash', it was a poor choice of wording to me....I seem to be alone in this in here, though. "Why do you want it on that system?" Why not...lol I'm out of character right now. I never thought I'd make a sheepish thread like this. (NINTENDO BASH! AWWW SNAP!)

Retail holiday hours must really be getting to me. -_- lol (DAMAGE CONTROOOOL!)

i think what he's saying is more like "the game will be fine on the announced systems, i don't see the point in another one". kinda stupid, but not particularly criticizing nintendo.

I don't think it's immature.

As I recall, ever since the Gamecube days a lot of Nintendo fans would lord it over the other gamers about how they were "above" needing M-rated games, and that Nintendo's lack of M-rated titles (exclusive or otherwise) was actually a bragging right instead admitting that it was a weakness that Nintendo has not fully escaped from. I have lost track of how many users would claim that M-rated games are only for immature little children who need to prove how grown up they are, and that there was nothing of value to be found in an M-rated game that couldn't be done in an E or T rated game (except whenever there was a game like RE4, No More Heroes or Mad World, in which case they would brag about how much Nintendo has grown up).

Why wouldn't I want it for the Wii U, as long as it has a map on the gamepad, and doesn't run any worse than its 360/PS3 counterparts, I'd see it as the superior version.

To me it didn't sound like a question. Sounded more like. "why would you want in on that (inferioir) system" it didn't sound like a real question. Also way to generalize on the "Ninty" fanbase.

I do to I want as many games as I could get on Wii U it means that it would have a great library of games which is what haters say Nintendo is lacking in.

If they don't make it for the Wii U I will just purchase the PS3 version.

Those people were either idiots or in denial from not being to play those games. I didn't think I wanted M-rated games before I got a PS3, now that I have them I don't want to give them away.

Well, they also rubbed Resident Evil 4 in our faces when it was only out for Gamecube for some time. -_- 8 months to be exact. Almost bought a GC just for it.

What's new? Most of the gaming media and people who follow the gaming media bash Nintendo like it's their job.

Wether it's IGN, Keighley, Kotaku, Webb, Gamespot, Sessler, G4, Patcher, Sony fans.

I actually don't think IGN is that bad compared to the others, at least they have some Nintendo fans. G4 is awful though.

Not bashing pretty much just dismissing them. I'd like to play it on wii-u but at this point it's pretty much a confirmed no by rockstar. Can't imagine Nintendo would just sit on huge information like that when they're trying to sell consoles. If you bought a Nintendo system at this point to play third party games after the gamecube and wii....Well you're pretty silly.

"WHY WOULD YOU WANT IT ON THAT SYSTEM?" What kind of question is that? I'm not a huge Nintendo fanboy anymore, but what is so hard to understand about wanting what will possibly be the biggest/best game this generation on the Wii U?
