We missed this in our round-up of upcoming released this week, but the handheld version of Rockstar’s open-world formula has hit the app store, in the form of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars HD.
Considering the ESRB lists all of 10 Nintendo DS titles rated M, this isn’t surprising. Still, the publisher of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars bragged the game accounts for more than half of M-rated game sales on that platform.
Did you know Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars was released on the iPhone and iPod Touch earlier this week? Well, it was! And here’s the official launch trailer to prove it.
Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of sale and marketing, confessed to being frustrated by the sales numbers behind Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and suggested Rockstar hasn’t learned something Nintendo already knows about marketing.
Sure, Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars has been out for a bit, but that didn’t stop Rockstar from sending along copies of the game along with a bizarre fortune cookie.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars comes out on the PSP later this month, and Rockstar dropped a load of new screens to show off how pretty the game looks on Sony’s handheld.
