Now I know how a petition asking for the US government to build a death star by 2016 can get 27 755 signatures...

Too many crazy people around...

The gap in logic is strong in you.

Ail, how does building a death star (a very retarded concept) have any bearing with making a video game. Do you think deving games is retarded?

GTA IV was a brutal game on even very strong PC CPUs. Even taking into consideration a lack of effort going into the port I just don't see how GTA V would be a very good fit for the Wii U architecture given the fact that it wasn't engineered with that console in mind. Nintendo didn't need a strong CPU for the kind of games they make but this game does.



Tease.

I signed it.

Add me! :)

I signed it. Hope my gesture will at least awaken spirits.

Can someone just kick VGK already? I don't even know what he is doing on here.



If this game is indeed released on the Wii U, when do you think it happens?...about 6 months after the 360/PS3 version?



Around the Network

Are we gonna see a petition for every game that dosen't release on the wii u ?

Seriously if you want to play the games the Px360 have buy a Ps360 and not a Wii U. If you want to paly Wii U games buy a Wii U its as simple as that. You know what you're getting into if you buy a console (and if not its your own damn fault).

I dont have anything agains games comming to the Wii U but people need to realize publishers are a buissnes and not a wishconcert. If they feel the risk is to high they wont take it (and like it or not porting stuff costs money).

Now personally think a GTA on the Wii U would make its money back considering how huge of a francise it is but for games like dark souls i doubt it's worth the trouble.



"The Wii U is gonna have tons of third party and hardcore games. Fuck yeh, Wii U rocks"

...Yet here we are, begging for titles to grace the Wii U with their presence. Tsk Tsk, 360s are pretty cheap if you want to play these games, ya know. A PS3 is also relatively inexpensive with a good bundle.

This is getting really damn sad. Is 5 mario games a year not enough?

It lacks the crazy lopsidedness of the Xbox 360 and PS3 CPUs and it fails to make up for it with general purpose goodness because the CPU is barely out of order and likely an ancient design which is clocked very low. We would not be having this discussion for instance if the Wii U had an AMD APU (bobcat) instead of what it currently has.



Tease.

Like so many Nintendo users have pointed out, the WiiU is next gen.
GTA V is by that definition, old gen, end of story....



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
