Wii News | Bully: Scholarship Edition
The most misunderstood game of 2006 is getting a second chance at life on March 4, when Bully: Scholarship Edition stomps angrily onto the Wii and Xbox 360. The first trailer for the game - a revamped, expanded and visually overhauled version of Rockstar's controversial juvenile-delinquent simulator - hit today, and while it doesn't really offer a glimpse of what's new, it should satisfy the curiosity of anyone who's wondering how its cartoony visuals and irreverent mayhem will hold up on ...

Bully controversy kicks off AGAIN
Wii News | Bully: Scholarship Edition
Despite the fact it's already been sitting on the shelves for over a year on PS2, another ruckus is being kicked off over Rockstar's Bully, reignited thanks to the upcoming release of Xbox 360 and Wii versions of the game. UK publication Daily Telegraph describes the new Scholarship Edition, as an "even more realistic" take on the 2006 original, which "encourages players to act out assaults on pupils and teachers." Beating a dead horse much? The game's also sparked additional rows by ...

Video game glorifies bullying, say critics N4G
Wii News from N4G | Bully: Scholarship Edition
Wii - Bully: Scholarship Edition - Video game glorifies bullying, say critics A violent new video game which is set in a school and encourages players to act out assaults on pupils and teachers has been condemned by anti-bullying campaigners and teaching unions.

The game, called Bully, features a shaven-headed pupil who torments fellow students and teachers at his school.

Critics said the game was "glorifying" school bullying and called for it to be banned.

The PC World and Currys chain of stores said it had already decided not to stock the game. A spokesman said: "We don't think this is suitable for sale in our stores. We are careful about what we sell and this is something we have decided not to list."

Rockstar has announced that the school year at Bullworth Academy will begin in the US on March 5th and March 7th in the UK with all the crotch kicking, swirlies, hiding in lockers, stealing and boy kissing you can handle.

Rumor: Bully's semester on Wii and Xbox 360 begins March 3 N4G
Wii News from N4G | Bully: Scholarship Edition
Wii - Bully: Scholarship Edition - Rumor: Bully's semester on Wii and Xbox 360 begins March 3 Joystiq writes:

"Jimmy Hopkins is supposedly ready to kiss the girls (and boys) at Bullworth Academy on Wii and Xbox 360 starting March 3. Bully: Scholarship Edition will feature "new content" and that's still all about we know at this point. Perhaps we'll get a little hands-on time with it at GDC, but we don't even really know if the Wii version will have waggle and the Xbox 360 will sport better textures."

Bully: Scholarship Edition delayed N4G
Wii News from N4G | Bully: Scholarship Edition
Wii - Bully: Scholarship Edition - Bully: Scholarship Edition delayed According to French site Jeux-France.com, the remake of Rockstar's PS2 title won't be hitting the Wii and 360 until 7 February. It had previously been listed as appearing this year.

Given that 2007 is now drawing to a close and we've not seen much of it yet, this isn't exactly a huge surprise. Still, if Rockstar feels it needs more time, so be it ¿ the PS2 version received glowing reviews when it was released in 2006, so a little extra development time will hopefully ensure that the 360 and Wii version are of the same standard.

Wii News from N4G | Bully: Scholarship Edition
Wii - Bully: Scholarship Edition - UK Writers' Guild Rewards Canis Canem Edit News After the furore surrounding Rockstar Games' Canis Canem Edit (a.k.a. Bully) eventually died down, few could argue that all the game contained was mild school ground pranks that left a warm, fuzzy feeling of nostalgia inside.

Thankfully, it seems that despite all the negative press, Canis Canem Edit has finally received the recognition that it deserves, picking up Best Videogame Script award at last night's Writer's Guild of Great Britain Awards 2007.

Wii News from N4G | Bully: Scholarship Edition
Wii - Bully: Scholarship Edition - Rockstars Bully revamped for 360 and Wii but not for PS3 In spite of all the critical acclaim, most people glossed right over Rockstar Games' Bully; it even received a coveted 10 in the pages of EGM. Rockstar isn't giving up on the new IP just yet, however, as they've announced Bully: Scholarship Edition for both Xbox 360 and Wii, complete with tweaked visuals and additional content.
Other than that, we're in the dark, but Rockstar says the revamped Bully is coming to both platforms this "winter." This could be the perfect game to cool down from the fall gaming season with in early 08 -- keep watching as we learn more -- but here's a question: where's the PlayStation 3 version?
