What with Manhunt, Table Tennis and now Bully,Rockstar seems to be warming up to the Wii.

Do you think Rockstar will port GTA IV or maybe even some new IP's to the Wii, or are they just cashing in on the Wii's success?

Ohh it's definitely much when you're talking about a Nintendo console... Would I even imagine in the GC era R* giving some of their games to a Nintendo console in the future? Nope, not really and we are so early into the Wii's life...

I doubt we'll see a GTAIV port on Wii but I wouldn't be surprised if they make a new one like the PS2/PSP versions for it if their games sells well on it.

But has it gotten any exlusive, even timed exlusives? The 360 got table tennis (timed), the ps2 got bully (timed for a long time), and the ps3 is getting LA Noir, and both are getting GTA4 which the wii will never get. So I would consider this more of a "greed" or "lust" than love. Though it's still a relatively good thing for wii owners...

Looks like Rockstar is starting to warm up to the Wii. Hopefully we'll see some original IPs soon, but the games they are bringing are good :)

They're doing what a lot of 3rd parties have been doing. They were caught off guard by the success of the Wii, so they're catching up by putting out games for the Wii that they already had made.

If they sell well (and I can definately see these three selling well), expect greater and original support from Rockstar.

I think you guys are focusing to much on the Rockstar name. Rockstar doesn't really mean anything, it's just a publishing name for TTWO. Neither one of those games is actually developed by DMA, who make GTA.

They don't work together. DMA does what ever they wan't though they are owned by TTWO, they have more say over there than Kojima does at Konami. Rockstar as I said is just a publishing name, TTWO just buys studios and renames them Rockstar what ever. Rockstar San Diego for exsample is the one that make TableTennis and Midnight Club, they use to be Angel studios. They have nothing to do with Rockstar North infact there studios are not even on the same continent. It's like Bungie and Rare for Microsoft. If you really want to believe that I for some reason "can't handle the it" go right ahead.

I would take ports from Rockstar every day of the week and twice on Sunday. That company can't seem to make a bad video game.

Port GTA IV, I highly doubt it. The Wii can't handle it.

This just seems that since Rockstar was slapped down when it came to Manhunt 2 they have to scramble to put something out to make money. They wouldn't have had to do this had they used their common sense when designing Manhunt 2. Don't feel sorry for them at all. Doubt this is going to do well sales wise anyway.
