We’re back, and now that half of the house is unpacked, I can get back to blogging.

GTA IV is not being completely ruled out, according to Reggie Fils-Aime and a conversation he had with MTV Multiplayer, Nintendic reports. As Always, we love hearing news like this from Nintendic! (For those of you who aren’t in the know, Reggie is the President and COO for Nintendo of America.)

From Nintendic’s article:

MTV: “Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.” How’d that come about? When did that conversation begin?

Reggie Fils-Aime, President, Nintendo of America: You know, we have
had a long-term relationship with [”GTA” publisher] Take Two. We’ve had
many conversations with the folks at Rockstar. This is a project they
wanted to make. We’re thrilled to have it on the platform.

MTV: 2D? 3D? What’s it going to be like?

Fils-Aime: You know the folks at Rockstar. And so we think it’s best
for them to tell the story of what that software’s going to be. They
can certainly do a better job of bringing it to life and do a much
better job explaining the backstory than I can.

But what about that tantilising possibility of seeing GTA on the Wii?

Multiplayer: Can Nintendo system owners take this sign
of a DS “GTA” coming out as a sign that there is an increased chance or
any plans for there to be a “GTA” on the Wii?

Fils-Aime: You know, a “GTA” on the Wii is all based on what
Rockstsar and Take Two want to do. And again, from our standpoint, if
they build a bottoms-up game that takes advantage of what we do well,
I’d love to see it on the platform.

Multiplayer: But have you had any conversations with them about that?

Fils-Aime: I have not had any of those conversations.

Let’s hope that we all get some sweet GTA action for Wii. You can get GTA: Chinatown Wars for DS, you know… And go leave a comment on the current WeKnowWii contest post!
