Fils-Aime explains details of GTA-Nintendo deal, no Wii title in the making so far

Some people were surprised during the recent E3 2008 event, when Nintendo announced one of its upcoming DS games will include an actual Grand Theft Auto title. During an interview conducted by MTV Multiplayer, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime explains the details of how that particular deal between the GTA creators came about. Find out in our full article after the jump.

It was rather surprising for some to find an actual Grand Theft Auto title make its way to the Nintendo platform. However, for Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, he found nothing strange about the upcoming Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars making its way on to the Nintendo DS.

Take-Two and Rockstar have always wanted to make a Grand Theft Auto title for Nintendo. Fils-Aime explained that after many talks with both the GTA publisher and developer, they are now all looking forward to the response the new title will generate.

Fils-Aime was rather confident about the upcoming title’s potential to boost sales for the handheld. While the idea of a GTA title on any Nintendo platform was previously frowned upon, the company president believed in Take-Two to deliver nothing but the best content for their platforms.

However, don’t hold your breath for a Wii-based GTA title just yet. Any future titles on the console will all depend on the whim of Rockstar and Take-Two. While there were no actual plans of a Wii title in the making, Fils-Aime admitted that he would like to see such a game that will take advantage of the Wii’s capabilities and can push the console to its very limits.

No details were revealed of what Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will look or play like. We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for any new details regarding the game, so drop by again here at QJ.NET just in case we pick up any new updates for it.
