“There will be excellent awareness of the G-Force property this summer with the launch of the action-packed Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures theatrical release. We are positive about G-Force because whilst benefiting from this buzz, the game features a wealth of additional exclusive missions, enemies and gadgets that means the gameplay stands alone and the player can extend their film experience.” – product manager James Thornaby

I’ve read a few previews of the game, and many of them say the game isn’t too shabby. Perhaps it’ll surprise us?

Take-Two on the possibility of GTA Wii, more DS titles

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 8 Comments

Grand Theft Auto has graced Nintendo platforms in the past. The series landed on the Game Boy Advance and most recently, the Nintendo DS. One request that seems to be universal amongst fans, however, is to see a GTA title on the Wii. And now Take-Two has commented on the possibility of that happening.

“Nintendo’s been a terrific partner for us. We always look at ways in which we can bring our games to platforms that make sense for our games. We’re eager to work with Nintendo to bring our games to their platforms. We just haven’t yet defined the right title for the right platform.” – Ben Feder, CEO of Take-Two

You might also be interested in knowing that Take-Two doesn’t seem to be disappointed in sales of Chinatown Wars. Better yet, the company isn’t ruling out future GTA titles on the system.

“The DS, typically, has longer legs in the sales cycle. We’re very pleased with how that game is continuing to sell in the market; it will be in the market for a long, long time to come…When we’re ready to announced it, we’ll announce it. Right now Rockstar’s focus is on The Ballad of Gay Tony episode, Red Dead Redemption and Agent.” – Ben Feder, CEO of Take-Two
