Rumor: Bully's semester on Wii and Xbox 360 begins March 3

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jan 3rd 2008 at 4:40PM }

Jimmy Hopkins is supposedly ready to kiss the girls (and boys) at Bullworth Academy on Wii and Xbox 360 starting March 3. Bully: Scholarship Edition will feature "new content" and that's still all about we know at this point. Perhaps we'll get a little hands-on time with it at GDC, but we don't even really know if the Wii version will have waggle or if the Xbox 360 version will sport better textures.

Although there's still no official confirmation on Bully's release date, several retailers are listing March 3; we're following up with Rockstar and Take-Two for a polite confirmation -- otherwise we're resorting to swirlies.

LilCo187 @ Jan 3rd 2008 4:52PM

And whats so great is that the Wii version will probably retail for a cool $39.99

sifer2400 @ Jan 3rd 2008 4:54PM

i wouldn't even buy it for 40 its still giiip

RoboChamp @ Jan 3rd 2008 4:49PM

I loved Bully, and I'd probably buy it again on the Wii (given enough additional content, end a REAL ending), but the amount of last gen ports the Wii is getting is ridiculous.

LilCo187 @ Jan 3rd 2008 4:53PM

Yea I hear ya. Kinda reminds me of the 360 in its first year.

Nick Ritch @ Jan 3rd 2008 4:57PM

Never got a chance to play it. I might check it out on XB360 if the price is right.

Jonah Falcon @ Jan 3rd 2008 5:11PM

I'll pay the $59.99 for Bully on 360. Never got to play it.

milestailsprowe @ Jan 3rd 2008 5:26PM

Patrick @ Jan 3rd 2008 5:34PM

currently playing halo 3 still regularly, CoD4:MW, Mass Effect, LoZ:TP, LoZ:PH, and SMG. I still haven't gotten to Bioshock, Orange Box, PGR4, and Assassin's Creed. I don't need any B titles period.

LaughingTarget @ Jan 3rd 2008 5:49PM

I missed out on it myself and the PS3 is one that doesn't do BC. However, not terribly upset about this, I don't have current gen systems to play last gen stuff. I may check it out if it gets a decent current gen overhaul on the 360 or some innovative Wii remote use on the Wii.

Dan CiTi @ Jan 3rd 2008 5:58PM

I'll probably at least rent this on the 360. I never played it when it came out for PS2.

ThornedVenom @ Jan 3rd 2008 6:22PM

I forecast "Manhunt fiasco: part deux".

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Jan 3rd 2008 6:31PM

I'm willing to rebuy this game. This game was alot more addictive than any of the GTA games.

i_hate_mtv @ Jan 3rd 2008 7:41PM

Here here! It may be a port, but it's a third party game that ISN'T a mini game fest, so I'll support it.

Beatz @ Jan 3rd 2008 6:36PM

Two and a half months away, and still no screenshots or true info? I'm calling bullshit. Surely we should've heard new by now.

colinbell @ Jan 3rd 2008 6:48PM

The wii title may be interesting, if Rockstar do as good a job as Capcom did on Resident Evil 4. SOme interesting motion controls maybe? Dont think it will be much different on 360 though, apart from the resolution being increased to 640p as in Halo 3.

SharpBlade @ Jan 3rd 2008 8:31PM

Ugh.. No thanks.. A game that is going to look like a PS2 game and don't give me this "it will have better textures and additional content". The 360 does not need any more of that kind of crap. The 360 is going into it's third year now, there are no more excuses for p!ss poor looking graphics and year old ports.

SharpBlade @ Jan 3rd 2008 8:35PM

640p? I take it that was some lame attempt at trying to take a jab at the 360.. Listen chump, there are plenty of games that are 720p on the 360 and 1080p. Did you know that COD4 is also running at 640p?? No matter that it was the best looking game this year on consoles and voted GOTY by many.

Gun Barrier @ Jan 3rd 2008 8:44PM

hmm i dont know which system to get this game for... wii or 360...

any suggestions?
(though i pretty much know which one people think is better)

kilodelta @ Jan 3rd 2008 9:08PM

won't sell on the wii.

its a 3rd party game.

Mr Khan @ Jan 3rd 2008 9:14PM

....

........

Nope, i'll leave it to others to correct that

anOne @ Jan 3rd 2008 9:28PM

didnt this game come out in 2006?
c'mon, R* has to know this isn't a RE:4 caliber game. Maybe if it's a $20-$30 game they'll get some sales, but i cant imagine it being worth the cost of outsourcing this game to be ported.

HB96st @ Jan 4th 2008 12:08AM

If it goes for $30.00 for the Wii, I'll cop it and remove the FLOD on my Wii.

Thats

Fine

BTW.

If its more than that, I'll rent it for my 360.

I had so much fun with this on the PS2 and have always wanted to play it again but having an Xbox 360, my PS2 hasn't seen any action in recent months other than Manhunt 2 and I know that the possiblities of ever going back to Bully (with all of the 360 games I have to catch up on) was never going to happen. Now with this coming out on the 360, I'd definitely play it again even without the bonus content. But with bonus content AND achievements on top of that, I can't freakin' wait! Looking forward to it for sure! And one more thing I wanna throw out there that I don't hear too many people comment on but was this game not one of the sweetest looking games on the PS2 or what? I remember being suprisingly impressed with how cool it looked and how good the graphics were. The game was just top notch all across the boards in my opinion.
