Although Rockstar has yet to elaborate on the Wi-Fi functions that will be present in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the company has discussed one particular feature that can be expected. Players will be able to send friends waypoints through the Internet.

On the DS touchscreen, a mini-map is present and by tapping it, a draggable, zoomed-in road-map of Liberty City will be displayed. When you tap on a location, a waypoint will be brought up. The game will then draw the shortest legal path to the destination.

On the downside, this does confirm that Chinatown Wars will require friend codes in at least some modes. Rockstar has been confident in the game’s Wi-Fi aspects, so it may be worthwhile to have to use friend codes.

“We’re very thankful that this title has been received so well, and as we see that there is demand from both Japanese and American fans, we would definitely like to consider the possibility of a sequel. Since it is not possible to get right into development at this moment, please give us a little more time…Since The World Ends With You was specifically created for the DS, it would probably take on a very different form if it entered the console scene. Even though the Wii and DS seem similar, the stylus and Wii-remote are completely different, so naturally some alterations would become necessary to adjust the game for the Wii. Of course, the dual-screen element would have to be interpreted differently as well, but the most important thing would be to retain the essence of what makes The World Ends With You YOU what it is. The exhilarating high-speed action is a vital part of the game, so we would probably be careful to preserve that aspect when adjusting it for a new console.”
