If there’s one thing that the developers of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars have made clear, it is that the game’s Wi-Fi connectivity will be an important feature. Rockstar hasn’t revealed too much information regarding multiplayer, but today, the first confirmed details have come out thanks to a flyer from New York Comic Con.

The Nintendo Wi-Fi mode will allow gamers to participate in “head-to-head and co-op multiplayer mayhem” and Chinatown Wars also has “stat tracking and leaderboards that track your criminal career.” In terms of general gameplay information, there is an “all new replay feature” in which players can replay missions. Lastly, Rockstar states that the game will have an epic storyline, many side-missions, addictive mini games, and hidden collectibles.
