When Wii passes 360 in sales (very soon), I expect many developers to jump ship.

They were supporting it with Manhunt 2, but we know how that ended up.

i dont care about manhunt or bully nearly as much as GTA. I mean, those are fine games, but they aren't part of videogame culture the way GTA is. Not only would it be great to see nintendo getting a piece of that sweet pie, but I bet GTA on the wii would be an absolute blast. If rockstar uses the wiimote and nunchuck with intelligence and skill, it might be the best GTA ever (depending on how GTA4 does of course)

While Bully is a remake of probably one of the better games last gen and Table Tennis is a port or something, plus Manhunt 2 is multiplat, at least it is nice to see Rockstar taking the time to make some games for the Wii regardless. Support is support really, maybe once GTA 4 is done, they will make a GTA game for the Wii or something exclusive. I would not care if a GTA game was a spin off, so long as it is a quality game with good graphics instead of a remake or port.

Yes, your right, Rockstar either change the game to get a M so Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft allow them to release it on their consoles, and in the end deliever something different to what was intended or...

They scrap all console versions and bring it to the PC, as they PC doesn't have anyone telling them what they can and can't release.

It will be interesting to see how it ends, but i wouldn't get my hopes for either right now. Vapourware if you ask me.

But that doesn't affect their relationship with Nintendo. There was a rumor, probably not likely, that Nintendo is going to let the game go even with the AO rating... we'll see about that. It will sell by the truckloads if it does.

I'm yet to see a Wii exclusive Rockstar game though. Oh hell, just bring GTA IV to the Wii and we'll call it even. ;)

Two ports and a multiplat. Either way, it's already 3x what Rockstar had on the GCN. The 'Cube got Smugglers Run: Warzones, and that's it. And now to have two games announced for a Nintendo system in two days, after the support they showed Nintendo last gen? I'd say that's an improvement. Besides, bash them for being ports if you want, but both Bully and Table Tennis are great games.

first off, two ports and a multi-platform. Second, they're probably using these to mininimize the cost of testing the wii market, if these games sell well on the wii, then they will most likely begin developing exclusives.

Maybe it has to something to do with Reggie asking them to make a game for the Wii that happened months ago?

Dude, what are you talking about? The Xbox outsold the GC worldwide (except for Japan), another thing, there was a GTA game for the GBA.

Do any of you remember when the Wii was announced, and thinking about all the awesome, cool stuff you could do? Really, I haven't seen any game that really satisfied my imagination, maybe Rockstar's creativity will use the Wii-Mote in very interesting and innovative ways. I personally don't see how they would go about doing this, but we'll see. Also, I don't think they'll support the Wii like they did with the PS2, I think they'll focus more on the 360 for their bigger games cause that's where their market is.

Rockstar needs money. they have been losing money for 5 years straight. They are going to have to support the largest userbase.

Well, they are supporting it, though they are ports, they probebly won't support it like they did the PS2, i mean have you seen any game specifically made for the Wii by Rockstar? No there isn't but of course they could in the future, who knows.

I'm with you. GTA is rockstars diamond in the rough. Why the hell would they want to go backwards instead of progress? Why do that when they know that most Wii owners will eat up whatever Rockstar throws at them, for they are getting starved for content outside of Mario games, and *lol* wiifit. hahaha.

Edit: My bad, You guys also have a "new" SSB, and metroid coming out. *chuckle*. I hear Rocky .. what.. 8? 9? is also coming to the Wii. the studio director heard about all the other re-hashed success stories.
