Rumor: Bully giving out swirlies from March 3rd
Over the years, the games industry has developed the irritating habit of cramming all of its best software into the last three months of the calendar year. The inevitable result of this is the dreaded post-Christmas lull, whereby the first quarter of the following year is severely lacking in noteworthy titles.Despite this trend, Q1 2008 content on the Wii looks good. Like, really good. And as if No More Heroes, SEGA Superstar Tennis, The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, Harvest Moon Heroes, SEGA Bass Fishing, and some Nintendo fighting game you may have heard something about weren't enough to placate the Wiimote-wielding masses, now GameStop has Rockstar's Bully: Scholarship Edition listed for a U.S. release on March 3rd.Which is awesome news, if it turns out to be true. Now all we need to do is convince Take-Two that the Wii is worthy of receiving some GTA lovin'.[Via Go Nintendo]
Bully wins best script award
You may already know that Rockstar's Bully is going to be ported to the Wii (and Xbox 360), but aside from it being a "port-plus," the game is now also boasting an award winning script. It seems that Bully (the original, that is) managed to win the "Best Videogame Script" title at the Writer's Guild of Great Britain Awards 2007.We're not going to argue over the prestige of such an award, but keep in mind that since it's for the Writer's Guild of Great Britain, only writers from the UK can be nominated. Bully faced off against another Rockstar game, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, as well as Charles Cecil's Broken Sword: Angel of Death.For those of you who have already played Bully, you probably know whether or not you're interested in this Wii port. Yet, for those of you who haven't, this may (or may not) be a reason to put Bully: Scholarship Edition on your radar.[Via GoNintendo]
Rockstar hearts Wii: Special edition Bully headed our way
This is one PS2 port we can't get too upset about -- and not only because it's a port-plus. Rockstar's controversial game Bully is coming to Wii consoles everywhere in a special "Scholarship Edition" that promises all-new content for Wii and 360 owners. There's no firm release date as yet, nor any hint of just what this purported additional content could be, but coupled with the recent announcement of Table Tennis for the Wii, we can only conclude that Rockstar and Take-Two are digging the Wii. Also, they probably like money, and we hear Nintendo systems tend to print that. [Via Joystiq]
