Given the fact that there are no news whatsoever that the next Grand Theft Auto will be released on Wii U console, many Nintendo fans should be hoping to see the company striking a deal with Rockstar Games.
If there was an exclusivity deal, Nintendo would have to offer Take Two or Rockstar an amount of money that would be in the same ballpark that Xbox 360 and PS3 sales would rake in, so that won’t happen.
Why would Take Two care about Nintendo making people buy consoles for GTA V? It would be more beneficial financially to rake in sales from 2 consoles and the PC release than release GTA V exclusively.
With BattlEye anti-cheat breaking GTA Online on the Steam Deck, backlash from fans may be answered as Valve says they're looking for a fix.
Nintendo and Pokemon Company have filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair Inc., the creators of Palworld, in Tokyo, Japan.
A patent lawsuit? What Pokémon-related patent could Palworld even be infringing that other similar games haven't? This makes no sense. Feels like Nintendo just trying to throw its weight around to bully competitors, just like they do with emulators even though they're legal.
They can't Innovate their own IP, but when others are breaking the ceiling, they run to the courts, gtfo Nintendo/Gamefreak.
Companies' gatekeeping mechanics behind the patent system to stifle innovation, consumers will always pick the better product, it's not the consumer's fault that Gamefreak has sat on their lazy assess for years.
The Palworld has been out since January of 2024 and now Nintendo finally decides to do something. I fail to see how Palworld is like Pokemon besides evolving monsters. There are other games out there as well where you can capture and level up monsters. Tales of Symphonia 2 does that capture monsters and have them fight with you and they evolve when levelling up. The two games might share some similarities but what game doesn't borrow from another game. I could understand if Palworld was just a straight on copy clone of Pokemon but it's not. Nintendo is starting to become a pain in the ass. Going full gung ho with rom sites that I can see, purposely taking down pictures from a strategy guide for Mario 64 the strategy guide never came to North America and Nintendo had the pictures taken down. Where does it every stop with Nintendo?
This feels like a scare tactic more than anything else. There's nothing here dozens of other games haven't already done, they're just mad this game showed people how much the pokemon series has been slackin and are desperately trying to make an example out of them.
How's about instead of spending all that money on court fees and lawyers you invest it into making pokémon better?
Rockstar's GTA V on Android is now possible as the Winlator PC emulator now runs the game without any issues on powerful phones.
R* wouldn't do any GTAV exclusive deal since that would cost them profit
i don't know and don't care. just put the game out.
Take two/ rockstar know what they are doing. If profit is to be made and they will go in that direction. Nintendo on the other hand, do not know where they stand
There is a good chance that the game could be announced for the Wii U. They haven't announced consoles officially, so everything is possible. Obviously not as an exclusive though.
People forget Nintendo had a hand in GTA Chinatown Wars on DS.
Iwata & Shiggy both visited R* NY to check on it during development.
Would not be surprising if GTAV came to Wii U. Not as an exclusive but might offer a little extra like MS did with GTA IV.
