Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars guinea pig for M-rated games on Wii

You wanna see M-rated games on the Wii? Buy Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars when it comes out this March.

According to Take-Two, they’re using the game to see whether games with mature themes are suited for the platform. Says CEO Ben Feder:

Even the M-rated content that we think is much more appropriate for the PS3 or 360, we have to look at the Wii as a viable platform across all our labels.

You just have to because you canÂ’t ignore the installed base. You just canÂ’t.

WeÂ’re going to do a lot of learning with GTA: Chinatown Wars on the DS in terms of bringing that kind of content to a Nintendo platform. Our partnership with Nintendo is as strong as itÂ’s ever been. WeÂ’re really excited about it. We talk to them all the time. They provide great feedback for us.

Take-Two Interactive is the parent company of BioShock studio 2K Games, and of course, if it wasn’t already obvious, Grand Theft Auto studio Rockstar Games. It also published The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for Bethesda Softworks.

If any of these games make it to the Wii, it’ll make my day. My year. My decade. I implore you. Buy a DS, buy Chinatown Wars, help me stop playing the same three games on my Wii.

• GTA: Chinatown Wars not family-friendly, will have M rating, drug-dealing minigame
• Study: M rated games sell more
• Wii will be hardcore, says Sega U.S. head
• Media watchdog group wants MadWorld ban, gamers say shut up
