Rumor: GTA V was once prototyped for Wii U

Rumor has it that Grand Theft Auto V was once prototyped for Wii U. That comes from Unseen64’s Liam Robertson, who tends to be in the know when it comes to cancelled projects and development secrets.

Robertson was in touch with “a reliable source”, who claims that the prototype “was an earlier version of GTA V.” It was apparently a brief period when this took place. Sadly, further details are unknown.

Rockstar indicated back in November 2012 that the company was open to bringing Grand Theft Auto V to various platforms such as Wii U. Nothing came from that, however.

Damn you Rockstar.

Ahhh too bad.

Too bad.

Wouldn't doubt it

At least they considered it.

Dumb decision, It would sell fine on the WiiU, GTAV would sell fine even on the Ouya.

And WiiU would be in a much better position now imo. Is one of those games that make you NOT buy a console with its absence. Not that I care, I just like them, not love them.

What a waste of money, if they spent time and money on it they could just as well release it for the wiiu. Given its gta it should sell 400k + on the wiiu

$60 they won't get from me.
