Grand Theft Auto V PC and Wii U versions "up for consideration"

Reggie Fils-Aime says it's on Nintendo to attract developers like Rockstar

Words: Connor Sheridan on November 19, 2012

Grand Theft Auto V is only coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in spring 2013, but Rockstar sees all other platforms as "open for consideration," according to an interview with IGN. That includes versions for PC and Wii U, said Rockstar vice president of creativity Dan Houser.

"We're not Nintendo, we're not Sony, we're not Microsoft," Houser said. "We love all of them in different ways. But we can do what we want wherever there's the appropriate business opportunity and chance to find a market."

Rockstar's taken a similar tack with its other open-world games, with PC versions emerging post-console release for Grand Theft Auto IV, L.A. Noire, and others (though we're still mad about Red Dead Redemption). As far as Wii U support goes, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime was hopeful in an interview with MTV Multiplayer.

"The folks [at Rockstar] have said very nice public comments about the Wii U," Fils-Aime said. "In the end, it is Nintendo's responsibility to have a large installed base, to have development tools that help the developers and publishers create great content, and essentially create an environment where teams like Rockstar can bring their very best content to our platform, and if we do that hopefully the very best content throughout the entire industry will show up on Wii U."

IF GTAV comes to the Wii-U, then that would be the first time GTA came to a Nintendo home console. The series made a few appearances on Nintendo handhelds, but never their consoles.

I prefer a higher draw distance for open world games. AC3 really suffers in that respect. I will wait for the pc version, and if there isn't one I'll be skipping this game.

I will NEVER forgive them for RDR and going to pirate their games if I can to the end of times. Well, ok I've bought Max Payne 3 but I should've pirated it, just because.

I will patiently sit in the corner and rock back and forth until the PC version is released. I'm sure that the R* devs become just as excited by the myriad of mods that are created for GTA games as we are.

Well obviously there will pc version eventually, it'll be probably be poorly optimized but it will happen without a doubt. Wii U is a different story though because most Wii U owners probably already own a PS3/360/PC and would buy one of those versions for their better established online networks.

I really hope GTA5 comes to the Wii U, if only to set a good precedent.
