Update: Alright, I’ve uploaded a few more pictures. The last five images are the new ones I put up on the site.

So I received my issue of Nintendo Power and have taken some screenshots of GTA: Chinatown Wars that seemed to have been missed before. Some are partial duplicates (I think there are one or two of those). Other than that, these screens haven’t been posted for. And I’ll try to update the photos later because I realize that one picture or so is slightly dark. Also, I’ll have two or so more photos that didn’t come out so well in a bit.

A bunch of Grand Theft Auto: China Town Wars have been revealed thanks to the latest issue of Nintendo Power (big thanks to Biggity for some of the details!)

– Cell-shaded graphics/polygons – black borders
– It’s a “real” GTA game – There’s sandbox gameplay, a totally open world, narrative
– Going to be rated M
– Camera angle is isometric (Phantom Hourglass?)
– good touch-screen implementation – “tasteful” minigames, streamlining interface
– UI based on a PDA – hub for email, contacts, map, music player, GPS, stat-tracking
– finger-sized icons
– missions designed for shorter periods of play, arcade quality
– Control pad = aim, R button = auto target
– subtle autosteer
– if you fail a mission, you can jump back to the action sequence
– Weapons include chain gun, flamethrower
– good portion of Liberty City is modeled in the game (different routes than console games)
– Load times aren’t an issue
– lots of pedestrians, cars, etc on screen
– Wanted system – objective is to disable police cars any way possible
– Weather effects (real-time), 24-hour day/night cycle
– A ton of radio stations – more instrumental than vocal
– Wi-Fi and multiplayer support isn’t being discussed, but can upload stats to Rockstar Social Club website through Wi-Fi

Nintendo was hyping up another hosted event just a few days ago. There was a whole barrage of speculation, but yes: Blowing bubbles was the main attraction at Nintendo’s event. As was partially expected, Nintendo promoted Kirby Super Star Ultra for the Nintendo DS. However, a bunch of Kirby bubbles were blown and sent up in the sky. So no – There was no Kirby Wii announcement or any Kirby revelation at all, but hey…The Kirby bubbles are kind of nice.
