I said no simply because Chinatown Wars had very disappointing sales compared to pretty much every other GTA game ever.  Had that been originally, specifically made for the PSP, it would've sold three or four times better. 

The only way to get high sales on a Nintendo system is to license a Nintendo character in the thing a la Soulcalibur II.  Put Mario with the Italian gangs and it would've sold like mad.

Shame, really.  Chinatowns Wars is far and away the best game on the DS.


Yeah right, not with PSP's SW situation and piracy.

Um, you are aware that the GTA titles released on the PSP actually did sell 3 to 4 times better than Chinatown Wars, right?

Your comment is nullified.


That's because they were 3 to 4 times more like the GTA games we love.

So, what is this, once again the Nintendo fans aren't happy either way? "We want Grand Theft Auto." "Oh wait, we don't want anything to be different from before.  We want the same stuff as everybody else."

Man, that wasn't the point of the DS or Wii.  The games are supposed to be different. 

"We want Resident Evil on the Wii."
"No, not like that."

"We want Call of Duty on Wii."
"No, not like that."

"We want Dead Space on Wii."
"No, not like that."

"We want GTA on DS."
"No, not like that."

"Despite Nintendo being known for creativity, we want nothing but sameness in our third party games."

Fuck.  I can get the sameness on the Xbox360.  I'm happy with the different stuff.  That's a really shitty excuse for not picking up arguably the best game on the DS.


No, we were not asking for different, not in the sense you presented it. That's the mistake. The controls were supposed to be different, not the entire game. RE4 Wii Edition was doing it right.

Wow. Okay. You actually don't want any kind of growth, just a different controller.  Gotcha. 

Hell, I saw the Wii Remote, I looked forward to, you know, different games.  Not everything exactly the same--with waggle.  I don't think that's not the kind of advancement Nintendo was going for.  Because what you describe advances next to nothing.
