it would be the stupidest thing ever if rockstar released the game on the WiiU

A lot of people are asking it for it on Wii U, and GTA has an established fanbase on Nintendo systems. Chinatown Wars sold 1 Million+ on the DS alone. It would be smart. It would be stupid if they DIDN'T put it on the Wii U.

I'm laughing so hard, "established base" "lots of people".

@ Khan, doesn't need backing up, it's common sense. The userbase for that type of game is NOT on WiiU, as COD/AC third party game sales tell us. With the game on PS360 and X1/PS4 (should it launch there) there would be no reason for people to pick up a WiiU for the game.

No one necessarily is going to pick up a Wii U for it, no, but people give the Nintendo base too little credit. When publishers treat us right, we do the same (it's just that they so rarely do).

Though i suppose TakeTwo isn't interested in brand-building. Ah well.

I would say Ubisoft have 'treated' Nintendo fans and have got jack shit in return.

There are certain games that should and shouldn't go to WiiU, GTAV is the latter, it's on too many other platforms with people likely to pick it up, and Nintendo fans don't typically buy into mature rated games.

Give it the Rayman Legends, the Plants Vs Zombies ect but not GTAV, The Division ect.

Nintendo fans buy quality. Unless we're going to dispute the quality of grand theft auto.

We don't buy disrespect (like Mass Effect 3)

Other games did well if we take the small userbase into consideration.

You can say that for any userbase, you can say the opposite too, look at Just Dance. Heck GTAV would sell less on WiiU than Wii Music did on Wii.

And nobody needs to call GTAV's quality into question, it's going to be killer.

FYI Mass Effect 3, NFS, and ACIII are 3/4 top rated games on WiiU ...

Nintendo should be doing anything they can to make Rockstar put the game on Wii U...anything.

Mass Effect 3 is uselss without the other two, people are not dumb. Not to mention that the trilogy come out ofr the same price on the other consoles at the same time.

NFS is a great game but EA kicked NIntendo fans too much in the gut for them to give a flying fuck about EA atm.

ACIII is a late port which did ok. 

 

Finally do you understand what Mr Khan is making? He is saying that grnanted the userbase isn't that big but the only way to expand your games is to put them out. Not everyone can afford multuple consoles and these so called Nintendo kids grow up to be adults. So they can establish a new user base on a system. Same with COD, biggest mistake was not releasing COD 4 at launch on Wii. All the users left. Now when you look at the sales of COD on Wii U that is a result of that. The fans left. They need to build a new generation of fans.

These developers need to realise that the same deal was when the other consoles launched, they needed to establish there base. Same is possible on a Nintendo system if it isn't treated like a lepar and only given scraps as people are not stupid

There is no way to predict whether the PC, PS4 and Wii U will get GTA 5, but there are some people who believe that Rockstar may speak up soon.

Fixed.

I'd love to see a Wii U version.

But I'm almost 100% convinced that the PS4 and XB1 versions will be announced sometime in October/November.

if theres gonna be a next gen gta5 they better announce it soon or before current gen gta5 release i'll be pissed if i buy it on current gen then a few weeks later have it announced that its releasing on next gen just so they dont lose SW sales for ps360

think R* has really nothing to gain releasing on wiiu, its all in nintendo interest

Rockstar could release a number of pre-orders neccessary to warrant a Wii U port.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

i bet its coming launch day on PS4 & X1. They will wait till just after the current ten launch then announce versions. I will be very annoyed if so
