It has bought tens of millions of video games throughout practically each platform launched because the PS1 and courted extra controversy than maybe another online game collection ever created. And it’s achieved all this whereas principally avoiding Nintendo consoles. Now with the remastered GTA Trilogy out subsequent month, among the hottest video games on the planet will lastly be launched on a Nintendo platform, for the primary time ever. However whereas it has been a while since a GTA recreation launched on a Nintendo console, it has occurred prior to now. However solely 4 instances and solely on Nintendo’s handheld methods. The primary GTA recreation ever launched on a Nintendo console was a port of the unique Grand Theft Auto for the Gameboy Colour in 1999, a couple of yr after it was launched on PC and PS1. The next yr, GTA 2 would additionally find yourself on Gameboy Colour through an identical, simplified port. Fascinating to notice that the GBC port of GTA 2 contained a playable feminine protagonist. The collection has by no means included one once more. (To this point.) It could be 4 years earlier than one other GTA title, this time GTA Advance, would find yourself on a Nintendo platform. GTA Advance was launched in 2004 on the Gameboy Advance and was, just like the GTA 1 and a pair of, a top-down open-world motion recreation. Nevertheless it included some parts from the then-recently launched 3D PS2 GTA video games. Oddly, GTA Advance is definitely a prequel to GTA 3, set one yr earlier than the occasions of that groundbreaking PS2 title. It was developed by Digital Eclipse and never a crew inside Rockstar Video games. One other 5 years would move earlier than GTA Chinatown Wars was launched in 2009 for the Nintendo DS. In the meantime, a number of GTA video games had been launched at this level for numerous house consoles. But none of those video games, like GTA IV or GTA Vice Metropolis Tales ever ended up on Nintendo house consoles just like the Gamecube or Wii. Chinatown Wars incorporates a top-down perspective, just like the previous video games, nevertheless it additionally options 3D parts like buildings. It was principally a contemporary tackle the basic model GTA video games. At this level, in 2009 the collection had absolutely moved into 3D, so Chinatown Wars felt like a enjoyable throwback to these previous titles. After that, Rockstar stopped releasing Grand Theft Auto video games for any Nintendo platforms. However the writer didn’t utterly abandon Nintendo consoles. It launched ports of Manhunt 2 and Rockstar Desk Tennis on the Wii in 2007 and a port of Bully additionally made its approach to the Wii in 2008. The newest Rockstar recreation to launch on a Nintendo console was the 2017 port of LA Noire. G/O Media could get a commissionSo it’s not like Rockstar didn’t make and launch video games for Nintendo consoles. It’s simply the GTA collection that, for no matter motive, has hardly ever popped up on a Nintendo platform. In fact that every one modifications subsequent month when not one, however three basic Grand Theft Auto video games make their approach to a Nintendo house console for the primary time ever. GTA III, Vice Metropolis, and San Andreas are a part of the not too long ago introduced (however long-rumored) GTA The Trilogy – Definitive Version coming to Swap alongside PS4, PS5, Xbox Collection X/S, Xbox One, and PC on November 11. Nonetheless, figuring out the historical past between GTA and Nintendo consoles, it was wild seeing an official Nintendo social media account promote the sport yesterday. Positive, lots has modified and nearly something can and does find yourself on the Swap nowadays. However part of me remains to be shocked to see 3D GTA video games on a Nintendo console. What a world we reside in. Now, will GTA IV or V ever present up on the Swap? I’m not holding my breath. However not less than it appears Rockstar and Nintendo are open to letting the open-world chaos of GTA onto Mario’s gaming machines.
