Rockstar figures Nintendo knows what they're doing

You may be the kind of person who thinks Grand Theft Auto is trash, or you may be the kind of person whose played GTA for hours on end. No matter, when Rockstar announced that Manhunt 2 would make its way to the Wii, you were probably pretty surprised that Rockstar would be publishing a Wii game (the same system home to Miis and Mario)… and Manhunt is nothing short of extreme violence.

But then the ESRB gave Manhunt 2 the “AO” rating, causing a delay in its release (assuming it will get released with less violence, with a rating of “M”). Worry not, though, because Rockstar has announced that they are bringing their famed 360 game, Table Tennis to the Wii - with added motion controls, of course!

I’ve never been a huge fan of Rockstar, but I’d like to give them credit for bringing this game to Wii. It will probably sell for $30-$40 USD, since it was only $40 on the 360 (where games are usually $10 more than Wii). Also, unlike GTA and Manhunt, Table Tennis has absolutely no violence or bad language, but rather, just a lot of fun gameplay.

Rockstar is a great developer / publisher, but I never understood why they resorted to violence in pretty much every single game they made - I'm hoping to see more Table Tennis type games in the future from Rockstar, especially on the Wii.  It seems Nintendo’s been rubbing off on other publishers - that unless you expand your audience, you won’t reach maximum success.
