Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser talked with Nintendo Power about the new GTA game being on the DS and not the Wii. Many people, including myself, are waiting out for GTA Wii, after seeing what Rockstar can do on the Wii with Bully. Months of speculation has arisen on the issue, and with Chinatown Wars coming to the DS, it was one more step in the right direction. As the relationship between for Rockstar and Nintendo becomes stronger, we can't rule out a GTA Wii just yet.

Mr. Houser had this to say on the topic at a sit-down with Nintendo Power:

It didn’t feel natural to us, I guess. It really was that the DS felt like it had a lot of interesting challenges that would be totally different from what we’d done in the past. The stylus and the chance to use minigames in that way was really interesting and exciting to us, and we thought we could integrate seamlessly between those two modes. And it would be the chance to make something really good on a handheld with our handheld-focused team. That was really why we went that way. We haven’t really done any concrete, major thinking about the Wii, one way or another. They’re sort of separate issues.

Fingers crossed! We'll keep you up-to-date on any progress on the matter.
