NYC Mayor doesn't like GTA

NYC Mayor: "Boo-hoo!  I don't like video games showing violence in my town, but I don't care when it's in movies or on television."
Rockstar Games: "Thanks for the free publicity."

I wonder if the Wii will get a GTA game sometime in its lifespan.  I'm sure they won't dumb down the GTA4 to run on a Wii, but I could see a side story or port of the previous engine.  With Nintendo getting a larger piece of the gaming pie, I'd think that it would be a no-brainer to bring such a popular series on board.

Maybe they'll release a watered-down port of GTA 1 on the Wii.

I read in some interview that the Reggie dude is trying really hard to get GTA on the Wii. I think it's certainly possible since it's getting that really gorey Manhunt 2 game from Rockstar, but frankly I could care less which system gets GTA .

[FM-77]

GTA. Could a game be more boring? Thieves suck. Always. Especially in games.

[Necromancer]

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.  Though not many 'boring' games sell millions of copies on various platforms with multiple sequels.

Well I don't like the NYC mayor, so it's all good.

EDIT: And is this a late April Fool's joke? They callled New York City the safest city in America.  Yeah, and Anne Coulter is the hottest chick in America. 

EDIT: And why am I surprised that Seldane hates GTA? The only game he plays is Pong, and even then if you were to ask him about it, you get "Meh, well I was bored...".

RPGs or nothing, is what I say.

[Kitsunexus]

Oh that's cool. RPGs aren't my fave, but I DO like a good RPG every now and then. Have you played the Ys Oath Of Felghana remake on PC? It's awesome. 

[FM-77]

It's okay, but I prefer Ys VI (less action, more adventure). Ys Origin (only action, no adventure) was a really big disappointment.

[Kitsunexus]

Ys Origin wasn't what I was expecting, either, but that big ass centipede that played like the cellphone game SNAKE was some sort of awesome!

[FM-77]

Oh yeah, that I totally agree with. That centipede boss was incredible. That's the best part with these recent Ys games - the boss battles. Always fun (except when you fight the little sprite guys [Epona, Chester, etc] which happens a bit too often).

[Keranu]

Ys games have always had top notch boss fights.

On-topic: I smell politicial publicity stunt on the part of the mayor.
