This information comes from the latest edition of Iwata Asks for the DSi…

“Nintendo doesn’t have any intention of directly competing with existing products, but the mass media has a tendency to portray everything as a rivalry between opposing companies. It seems some people have the impression that we want to compete with cell phones or the iPod, that putting cameras or music players in our devices is out of character for us. I hope those who have such an impression will take an interest in what Nintendo can make when it dedicates itself to pleasing as many people as possible who pick up a DS, and I hope they’ll actually pick one up themselves.” – Satoru Iwata

“It’s an interesting launch on DS. It raises some eyebrows in a lot of areas. It’ll be interesting to see how that sells.” – Sony’s John Koller

It’s pretty much a known fact that Chinatown Wars is a true, enjoyable GTA game. The only question is, how will it sell? If it does sell a respectable amount, perhaps that will show other companies that more mature titles can thrive on the DS.

“Glad to hear you like the game. Everyone seems to be pretty excited about some FPS action on WiiWare so if the game continues to do well, then there definitely might be a possibility of doing expansions, dlc, or even a full blown sequel.” – Hudson Entertainment site admin

Onslaught isn’t a fantastic title, but it isn’t terrible either. If Hudson listens to input from fans, then a sequel could end up being a very enjoyable game.
