We've recently been treated to a full #GTA: Vice City Stories #recomp for PC. But over on Twitter, "OptiJogos" has started to experiment with getting the original Vice City to work on the #Nintendo #Wii and apparently, it's already performing pretty well.

While im not personally into GTA, it always confused me that Rockstar put Bully and Manhunt 2 on Wii but not the GTA series. Vice City and San Andreas could have been huge hits. Especially with the Wii Remote aiming that could have greatly improved the gunplay.

Yeah. That has always puzzled me as well. I mean, considering the numbers the series sold, even a fraction of that on the Wii or GameCube would probably still have been profitable

Ooh wiimote aiming would be neat to see in Vice City.

I can't remember if the Scarface game had that or not 🤔

Never played that one or Godfather but I know RE4 Wii Edition remains my absolute favorite as the Wii Remote aiming was amazing, lol.

Yeah, the Wii version of RE4 is from what I've heard, basically THE definitive way to experience the game. I've only ever played the original GameCube game tho
