Rockstar: GTA on Wii “Not Natural”
The only console out there not to have any GTA titles on it is the Wii – PS2, PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 have all met with various entries in the franchise. It appears that it will remain that way, as Rockstar cofounder Dan Houser downplayed chances of the action franchise finding its way to the Wii. Houser noted that it “didn’t feel natural” compared to the opportunity of making a DS game – GTA Chinatown Wars.
"It really was that the DS felt like it had a lot of interesting challenges that would be totally different from what we’d done in the past," he said. “The stylus and the chance to use minigames in that way was really interesting and exciting to us, and we thought we could integrate seamlessly between those two modes."
Meanwhile, publisher Take-Two hasn’t completely shut the door on a possible Wii version of the franchise, noting that the DS entry is an “important step” and that they intend to “continue to grow that relationship with Nintendo.”
