The biggest shocker to come from Nintendo's Press Conference yesterday was that Rockstar Games has teamed up with Nintendo and will be bringing the Grand Theft Auto franchise over to the Nintendo DS. The game is called Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and will be set in Liberty City.
From the sounds of it, it looks like you'll finally be working for the Triads. The only other facts we have at this point is that the game will utilize the DS touch screen and will have WiFi support.
So many questions! Will this be based off of the old Liberty City design, the new one from GTA IV, or something in between? Will this be similar to the PSP versions of GTA or a completely new style? What do you all think? Think this could turn out any good?

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Iggy: They could do 3D, Star Wars Unleashed is 3D. Of course, it looks ugly as fuck.
GTA and GTA2 came out for the Game Boy color before GTA Advanced.
Next, handheld GTA leaves PSP for the technologically inferior DS
I am speechless. I am without speech
Seriously, where the hell are the Kid Icarus and StarFox games? As in non-casual revisits to the reason they are even still around.
This could be a cool little game!
If you've played the DS Transformers game you'd know how a 3rd person open world is a bad idea.
yeah you sound really split 0_o
Yawn.
