While its completely possible, R* is not friendly with Nintendo. They tried a GTA game (albeit a crappy one) on the massively popular DS and it didn't do great.

Personally, I think it would be stupid not to. However, its initial development went to PS360 and if anything Wii U would get a straight port like COD or AC3 where they didn't have time to improve on anything due to the hardware beyond some uniqueness given the Gamepad.

Because he likes his job and wants to keep it?

in fact i see GTA V as very possible to be on wii u, in the gamecube era it didn't get one because nintendo was still strict with the violence policies, that changed; in the wii era it didn´t get one because it wasn´t possible to put it there without compromising some things. And now in this era the wii u can easily handle it and nintendo is more willing to bring it as they want to attract the blood-loving crowd. if nintendo makes (and wants to do) the effort they can bring it

how was GTA: Chinatown wars crappy?

Purely speculation on my part.

"In some form"...merely saying it might be part of a later compilation, a Wii U Edition (like EA did with GodFather or Capcom with RE4), etc...if it's not launched day and date with the other consoles.

I wonder the possibilities of assymetric gameplay on this.

I haven't really played any GTA game. But, from what I read from others and reviews is... it sucked in comparison to other GTA games and especially other portable versions.

Now, it also sold crappy on DS and PSP, so I think that supports the idea that it simply wasn't a good GTA game in the first place.

Oh. Something like a Gold Edition when DLC launchs some time after the game. Could be real. In fact, there were rumors about Rockstar having a dev kit, but the rumor says they were around the firsts developers to get.

From your comment, I get they have the kit after the past E3.

Havning different viewpoints in the game.

Re look at Nintendoland demos. See that the person with the gamepad has a different view and objective than others he is playing in the same room with.

Not 100% certain when, or how many, they got but it was before E3 2011.

I don't know if they had enough for development, game engine porting or just technical testing.
