Nintendo Talks GTA & Wii
11:13 PST | Jordan | Print News | Mail News
In an interview with an American television station, Reggie Fils-Aime, the president of Nintendo of America, said that Nintendo has done all it can to persuade Take-Two Interactive Software to bring the Grand Theft Auto franchise to Nintendo consoles, and it is now up to the third party publisher to decide whether Rockstar Games' immensely popular series will appear on Wii. We should know more later in 2007 regarding this issue.

This is huge - Take Two just got a new CEO to help with lagging profits, and Manhunt 2 is already confirmed from Take Two. If Reggie is pulling out all the stops, like we know he does, Rockstar could be hitting up the Wii with one of the most sucessful franchises of all time.

Congratulations on the coup, Nintendo, if you can pull it off.

13 weeks ago, in fact.

edit: actually, it seems it was old news even then.

It's still good news, of course. But I always have to throw that out there.

I agree.

GTA III, on the other hand, was fantastic.
