Latest issue of NGamer reveals VU Games’ adaptation of classic crime movie is coming to Nintendo’s new console.

For years, Nintendo consoles have had a reputation for being the most family-friendly. The Mario factory attempted to change this image on the GameCube by nuturing a few extremely violent games, such as Eternal Darkness, Killer7, and Resident Evil 4, GameSpot’s 2005 Game of the Year. When the Wii was released last year, Ubisoft’s Red Steel was the token grown-up game, and sold well despite poor reviews. According to NPD, the game moved over 219,000 copies as of December 2006.

We want them to put the game on shelves as soon and fast as they can humanly muster. So optimistic estimates have us at retail in the first half of May — obviously the sooner the better and that’s our goal,” said the game’s community manager, Che “I’m just so darn cute” Chou.
