The last thing Nintendo needed is the news that Rockstar are planning a GTA game for the PSP and that it will be released somewhere around the March US launch, let battle commence.

Home console games don't succeed on handhelds, well not always, look how badly MGS did!

Indeed, £81 to be precise. I was going to do a topic: "PAL DS Release Date" but meh.

If Nintendo can do that there and get it out before the PSP then I'm hoping they'll manage the same in Europe. It'd be a very wise move if they did.

So they're planning it now. But it'll be out for the March US launch.

That gives them two months to make the game you cretin.

Unless they change the format, GTA won't sell on a handheld.

Just you wait.

GTA was released on the GBA, so I see no reason for Rockstar not to release it on the DS as well, seeing as the platform is more stable than the PSP, has greater scope and is ultimately far, far better than the PSP.

Well all i know is Nintendo could add an extra 3 sales of the DS if i was going to get into the handheld world again. Sure to drop it down the loo by accident as i have done in the past...DAMN ADDICTING GAMES :-(

I have my doubts about how good a GTA game could be on a handheld. It's not the type of game I could ever really imagine playing on such a small screen, especially as I've played it through before. The PSPs allegedly poor battery life won't help either.

Though at the end of the day I guess it doesn't matter how good or bad it is, the all the mongtards will still shuffle out and purchase it anyway.

The DS will die a horrible death due to this.

I really do agree with you Top Score, GTA on the PSP will be the defining moment for the console, it'd be great play it and then drive around in cars such as, a lexus.

Horrible death to the DS.
