Game Forum / Action Games / Grand Theft Auto / July 2008Nintendo: 'We would love GTA on Wii' (Digital Spy)
http://www.ng2000.com/fw.php?tp=grand-theft-auto 07/24/2008: Nintendo's US boss says he would "love" to see Grand Theft Auto on Wii. > http://www.ng2000.com/fw.php?tp=grand-theft-auto > > 07/24/2008: Nintendo's US boss says he would "love" to see Grand Theft > Auto on Wii. I considered buying a Wii back when I was deciding which game system I wanted, but GTA pulled me toward the 360 instead (I've since found other reasons to be happy with my choice as well.) From what I've heard, the Wii doesn't have the graphical power of the 360 and PS3, so a GTA there would feel like a step back, though the controls might make for a different enough experience to be worth it. I'll probably buy a Wii someday anyway, and having GTA on it might be fun... -- Bob > > http://www.ng2000.com/fw.php?tp=grand-theft-auto > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > -- Bob for some reason the idea of battering someone with a baseball bat using that hand controller sounds a little too close to the real thing :O)  SignaturePaul (We won't die of devotion) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ >> > http://www.ng2000.com/fw.php?tp=grand-theft-auto >> > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > using that hand controller sounds a little too close to the real thing > :O) Don't they have a boxing game for Wii ? Wouldn't be all that different i suppose. Hell, they could even turn around the bad reputation that the GTA series has garnered. Replace Niko with Mario. Replace Roman with Luigi. Use the Wii wheel for driving, the other controller for beating/shooting. And use the Wii Fit or those Dance Dance Revolution pad thingys for running. Instead of hidden packages, hide coins. Don't need planes, ride Yoshi. The storyline could revolve around Mario and Luigi coming to Liberty City (renamed Super Mario City for the Wii) to track down a gang leader only known as Bowser who killed their sister Princess Toadstool during a mushroom deal gone bad. Along they way, you make new friends and enemies (Zelda, Donkey kong, Wario.) and business partners while taking over the city. Rework all the foul language, drugs, prostitution, cop killing, and glorified death and you would have...uh...another Nintendo approved game. You could Call it Super Grand Mario Kart Theft Auto. I won't be surprised if it happens, but i'm guessing it would be the equivalent of watching Scarface or Goodfellas on network television (here in the states anyway). Along the same lines, thought i saw another GTA title headed for a handheld, the DS possibly ? > >> > http://www.ng2000.com/fw.php?tp=grand-theft-auto > >> > [quoted text clipped - 48 lines] > the states anyway).

I've managed to catch maybe 2 or 3 episodes of RC, but not that one. LOL. I'm sure Nintendo would like a slice of that pie. GTA4 broke a lot of entertainment records. But OTOH, Nintendo has always displayed itself as a family entertainment system. The Wii has saturated markets that video games have never seen. Old people love them here, and retirement homes have included them in their activity rosters. Dunno why, but i imagine GTA for Nintendo coming off real sugary, like that GTA Coke commercial. I'm curious if any game ever approved by Nintendo contained any of George Carlin's 7 words you can't say on TV ? > Actually, no. I've managed to catch maybe 2 or 3 episodes of RC, but not > that one.

It is pretty loose, but not quite in the same ball park as GTA. I enjoyed it for a while though but the kids bored of it quickly.

Oh well. ;) After that, all i can think of is Bully. Which from the looks of it, doesn't quite have the scope of GTA either. Spore hits the shelves soon. That'll keep the kids going for a while. > >> There is - it's called Simpsons Hit & Run. > > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Spore hits the shelves soon. That'll keep the kids going for a while. Bully is okay, but again they bored of it after a short while. He does get to ride around on bikes and there's snogging and fighting and all sorts of high jinks. didn't enjoy the lessons though they were the bits the kids liked. It isn't awful, but it would never replace GTA in my affections. Kids love the lego games!
