Take Two looking at GTA on Wii?

GTA: Chinatown Wars on DS an ‘important step’, Take Two looks to ‘grow relationship’ with Nintendo

Speaking after Take Two revealed its third quarter financials, Take Two CEO Ben Feder would not rule out an iteration of its mega-franchise GTA coming to Wii – stating that the publisher intends to ‘grow its relationship’ with Nintendo.

In the full transcript of the earnings call on Seeking Alpha, CEO Ben Feder spoke of Take Two’s increasingly close ties with platform holder Nintendo.

“With respect to GTA Chinatown I will tell you that we’ve spent an enormous amount of time and effort working with Nintendo and developing that partnership. We’re very proud of the partnership that we have to date.”

“We continue to build that relationship. We think we have significant value to add to that partnership and that’s not a one-way relationship in any way. GTA Chinatown Wars is not even the first step but certainly an important step in continuing to develop that relationship.”

And when asked directly about the possibility of GTA on Wii, he added: “So without commenting on whether GTA specifically whether it is coming to the Wii or not, I will say that Nintendo and Take-Two work very well together. Nintendo and Rockstar are beginning to work well together and we intend to continue to grow that relationship.”

I'd buy that. I would line up to buy it the first day. I would hope that they work to integrate the wiimote in a way that makes sense - It's the heart of the Wii system and how it's used is important. I've played GTA on my PC and the problem was that the keyboard/mouse was great for running around and shooting, but sucked for driving. The wiimote makes a great steering wheel! Then you could even do a drive by using the nunchuck to aim and fire.

They should allow configuration of control systems:

Config 1: 2 Remote system: 1 Controller used a stearing wheel (MarioKart wheel!), the other controller has a your gun. This would make it all seem more real byt having to 'pick up' the wheel when you enter a car.

Config 2: 1 remote system: nunchuck and wiimote as mentioned above.

I can't wait for GTA on WII. I've played 'em all so far (on PC) but refuse to get an XBOX360/PS3. We have a WII, my 5yr plays the kids games, I play the adult stuff (and the kids games!) like RE4, HOTD2&3 etc. I love this console and GTA would make it complete. I don't care about MEGA graphics, playability is much more important - keep the fps high, even if it means reduced polygons/resolution.

cheers!
