Would Rockstar's latest epic have you reaching for your wallet?

Oh boy. When I published our latest "Soapbox" piece about Grand Theft Auto V and how it may not be entirely suited to everybody's tastes (it takes all sorts to make the world go around, folks), I wasn't expecting a topic with over 500 comments.

It's been fascinating to see how polarised you guys are about this issue; some were overwhelmingly supportive of the stance (which, I should add, was totally my own and not necessarily representative of the Nintendo Life staff) while others were totally the opposite, accusing me of posting the piece "for hits" and "getting on my high horse". Soapbox topics are designed to generate debate — they're the view of a single person rather than a news report or feature — and I'm personally glad that the piece generated such as wide range of reactions from everyone.

However, one burning question remains: if Grand Theft Auto V did come out on the Wii U, would you buy it? Perhaps you were one of the people who replied to the soapbox with words of support for my view — if so, would you be willing to eat those very same words if the game suddenly arrived on the store shelves and plugged that considerable gap in the Wii U's third party library? Or would you stick by your guns and ignore the title? Perhaps you don't feel strongly either way?

Vote in the poll below to share your feelings on this matter.

No, but I wouldn't buy it on anything else either .

That said it would've been a good game to have on WiiU. Even if it wouldn't sell well (which it probably won't), just to make a statement these kinds of games are there on WiiU.



For about $15? Sure.

I predict a 2014 Steam Sale in your future.

Not on WiiU but on PC/Steam sure - if I REALLY wanted it I would get it on PS3 right now.


Got all the GTAs except hand held versions on Steam.  Picked them up on a sale a year or two ago.  CPU still needs a power supply and GPU upgrade for GTA 4.

Nah, I'm pretty particular about what I play on PC. I play more GTA on my iPad than I play on PC.

Perhaps a 2020 App Store sale.

I can't believe I had to make a fucking Windows Live account in order to attempt to play GTA 4 on my computer...  I was like... Windows Live..  WTF?  This is Rockstar why do I need this shit to start a single player game.



yes!



I would buy it. If I had a Wii U. Which I don't at the moment, but GTA V would make the console look more attractive to me.



I LOVE ICELAND!

The should make San Andreas Stories for Wii U/Vita
