    they should have added mario as a playable character in these GTA games. Nothing funnier than mario going rampaging people.

    I had this, it was surprisingly good. I remember thinking it was weird they referenced it in that south park episode with the margaritaville(I think) because I never heard anyone talking about it. Seems like no one played it

    This is my gateway game to the ds. Loved it.

    And those 12 years were totally worth it for (check notes) GTA DEFINITIVE EDITION?!

    The drug dealing mini game in this was elite. One of my favorite features in the entire GTA trilogy

    I found a cartridge of it in my school’s playground, back when I was like 8, I had an old original 3ds at home and played it for hours and hours.
    One of the best games I’ve ever played.

    IIRC, it got stellar reviews but had very poor sales and convinced R* that they couldn’t succeed on a Nintendo console

    It’s always funny that people think the bad blood between Rockstar and Nintendo is because of adult themes in Rockstar games. Not because of Nintendo and DMA Design working together during the N64 era and Nintendo yanking funding after ridiculous requests and not being able to understand Scottish accents.

    There is also an enchance version for the PSP with better lighting and HD Graphics. Though the PSP version lack touch screen support.

    For me personally, the GTA series peaked with GTA 2 and this was very similar so I enjoyed it a lot.

    Yea, I know, that’s going to be an unpopular opinion.

    I wish GTA on PC would support multiple monitors, I have a terrible sense for navigating the city and would love to display the map screen on a second monitor. I’m not normally a multi-monitor user but I’d connect one just for this purpose.
