i think gta 5 coming to wii u down the road would only help nintendo. Nintendo is 100 percent trying to get so called hardcore gamers awayfrom xbox and ps3 to the wii u and that shows with the controller and the decent big name launch titles. The real test for nintendo is that can they keep getting decent 3rd party support and even get hardcore gamer games JUST on the wii from 3rd party.

Just do a teensy tiny bit of research and you'll see that you're wrong. Absolutely wrong.

play the ps2 version ratied M and play the wii version you will see that some videos of killings and what not are gone from wii version. you act like i telling bs out of my behind when i played birth version but for real who gives a junk lol. Plus i was not the only one that said it here.

Interesting...

did you play manhunt 2 for ps2 and wii? both were M rated games but at least handfull of videos that had decent info about the killings in the game was cut out on the wii

Hell most things i've read have said the Wii version was actually more violent because you used the motion controls to actually act out the violent acts, lol.

Originally Posted by TimboSliceGB well yes that would be true but wii version was cut even more.

im sad to find that direct drive had offered manhunt 2 the pc Adult version. However gamefly mergred with them and removed it as they dont belive in games rated higher than M. So if you really want it u may have to find it on certain sites... And yes you are right the ps2 versions and psp versions were better than the wii, they were a tad better still watered down but nothing beat the wii, its in my living room and it sucks i wont play manhunt 2 ever again until i get it on pc .

*In other news ive learned a few things from the wii u debockle here:

1. FRY SUCKS, they seem to have cancelled day one preorders and others for no reason.

2. Best buy online sucks- Everthing says payment validated nothing more.

3.-walmart online sucks- havent heard anything.

4. ANd newegg blew it with overstocking the pro controllers.
Feel free to add to this list.,

first shuffle ware and now birth version, lol.

trust me im not hating nintendo heck i decided to buy a wii u on sunday from my store where i work. Im just was making a point that to think gta 5 will launch on the wii u is just nonsense like someone said it would. Nintendo has never had a dirty nasty game like gta on their systems why? Because they think their system should be family friendly and gta is not family friendly game.

I don't think Nintendo cares as much as you think. Hell, they have games like Assassin's Creed III, Ninja Gaiden and Darksiders II as launch titles.

Some of those kills in ACIII are pretty ing brutal.

lololol how old are you 2. like you never make typing errors in your life. grow up

Difference is titles like GTA5 are the kind of things that will sell the 3rd party support to people that got fed up with the Wii.

They had Manhunt 2 on the Wii and that is much worse than GTA

Less than 24hrs to go and we have page after page of rock star talk on the wiiU thread lol

correct. im sorry but the 3rd partys on launch are out on other systems already and hardcore gamer would have them on those systems

You said they only want family friendly games on their systems. Are those considered family friendly?

Well from what i heard the Dev team doesnt even want to work with the wii u but that could change. COuld they at least make red dead for it? That wasnt to bad vs gta ,

They should pull orders and set them aside. But you never know. The lady I spoke with at my Best Buy said that I would get an e-mail Sunday morning or possibly Saturday night that my order was ready for pickup. I would think that if you get one of those e-mails, you should be good to go. But still, you never know with Best Buy, especially with this item. It would definitely be best to get there first thing in the morning, when the store opens, if you can.

I think the bigger shock here is that someone bought and played Manhunt twice.
