Bully: Scholarship Edition coming to Xbox 360 and Wii

Just in case Rockstar's very well received – and predictably controversial – Bully didn't make it onto your game shelf when it was released last October, Rockstar is rereleasing the title for the new-gen Xbox 360 and Wii platforms as a new "Scholarship Edition" featuring "new content." Short of that announcement, and a "Winter" release, they aren't revealing much about these ports. Coupled with Table Tennis as an Xbox 360 and now Wii title, and Manhunt 2 as a PS2, PSP, and Wii title, it looks like Nintendo's little white box has a special place in Rockstar's heart.

Thats classic...

I hope it sells well. It should though. I heard the game was hilarious.

Purple Haze: Jul 20th 2007; 6:52AM

If you think running around and beating people up is hilarious (which it is).

Miro: Jul 19th 2007; 5:58PM

Cool. I'll finally have a chance to give it a try.

JonnyBoy2U: Jul 19th 2007; 5:58PM

Oh I almost forgot.

I'm starting to love Rockstar. Fuck the man.

ihateemo: Jul 19th 2007; 6:02PM

Great! I was sad when they scrapped the Xbox version, so I'll definitely be snapping this one up for the 360.

Koopaknight29: Jul 19th 2007; 6:09PM

Interesting...

I'll definitely keep tabs on this one.

Mr Khan: Jul 19th 2007; 6:18PM

That's the sad thing, it was a unique title that was a sales bomb

But i think Rockstar's affinity for the Wii is more TakeTwo's affinity with the Wii. TakeTwo needs teh cash

Can't argue with Wii and 360 sales!

Meatstiq: Jul 19th 2007; 6:34PM

I never finished it on the PS2, so I'm looking forward to those achievements boosting me along. Fun game, but it didn't keep me interested for too long.

Meatstiq: Jul 19th 2007; 8:34PM

lol I didn't read the article thoroughly.

Shockgamer: Jul 19th 2007; 6:35PM

ARGH!! I had just beaten the PS2 version -today-! I was convinced that Rockstar would port it, but after E3 I gave in and Gameflyed it for PS2.

Good news for the rest of you, though. Nobody but PC only people has an excuse not to play it now.

REUYL: Jul 19th 2007; 6:38PM

I'll be first in line for this. Bully was seriously one of my favorite PS2 games.

Diego Silva: Jul 19th 2007; 6:47PM

that's GREAT NEWS !!! the PS2 version was awesome and I regret the fact I never bought it (only rented it)... now I will just wait and get the Wii one...

=)

Mohan: Jul 19th 2007; 6:49PM

First the announcement of Table Tennis now this...sweet! Good thing I was holding out on the PS2 version as this will have added content.

WiNG: Jul 19th 2007; 6:53PM

WTF THEY CANT PUT THIS ON WII

THEY ARE GONNA MAKE A REAL COLUMBINE SIMULATOR WITH MOTION CONTROLS TO TEACH YOU HOT TO MURDER CLASSMATES.

SOMEONE CALL JT

Wow procrastinators of the world UNITE!!!

First I score with RE 4 onto Wii which i didn't play because of a back log of older games, then Star Wars the complete saga goes to Wii. And now Bully!! But will i still be able to suck face with other guys on the the Wii?

Now all Wii owners need is an Okami port. I mean, you paint on the screen with a brush. Come. On. Capcom.

WhatIsThatThing: Jul 19th 2007; 8:26PM

Let us unite...later!

Ryan P.: Jul 19th 2007; 8:33PM

@whatisthatthing

LOL

Benny: Jul 19th 2007; 9:10PM

I'm happy. I was going to get a PS2 for Bully and some other games, but now I'll be able to play Bully and Katamari on my 360.

Come on Capcom, let's have Okami see the light of day on the Xbox :)

DBuck_Eye: Jul 19th 2007; 9:35PM

Rockstar: What?! Nintendo's console is succeeding again?! Quick! To the Bandwagon! (Simpsons joke, if you didn't get it, episode HABF16)

zwarrior: Jul 19th 2007; 9:55PM

I wonder if the Wii support is sincere or just a quick cash-in to Rockstar.

Either way, I might check out Bully and am eagerly waiting for Manhunt 2!

Deejay Knight: Jul 19th 2007; 10:00PM

I'll be grabbing this one on the 360, since it'll likely use their new engine.

I'm a bit surprised that it wasn't announced for the PS3 though...

Mr Khan: Jul 20th 2007; 3:52PM

I thought about that for a second, but PS3 owners can just pick up the PS2 game, that's why

Slaziman: Jul 19th 2007; 10:17PM

I can see it now, Bully on Wii gets panned for having only marginally better GFX than the PS2 version and clunky tacked on controls, and the Xbox 360 version will be positively reviewed.

samfish: Jul 20th 2007; 12:11AM

You're crazy. It's the Wii version, so somehow they'll figure out a way to make it have worse graphics than the PS2 version.

Slaziman: Jul 20th 2007; 12:31AM

That's so true :(

BPM: Jul 20th 2007; 2:11AM

First Manhunt, then Table Tennis, and now Bully...

Just about every Rockstar property but GTA will be on Wii now.
Oh, and I guess Midnight Club, too.
So, either of those is the next logical step for Rockstar to take, huh?

zwarrior: Jul 21st 2007; 6:47PM

Depends on how well those 3 will do

Anon: Jul 20th 2007; 9:37AM

I'll be really disappointed if the 360 version hasn't be spiced up graphically. Or, at the least, optimized - IE no/short loading times.

I really enjoyed the game on the PS2, and wouldn't mind a replay.

Hater3000: Jul 20th 2007; 11:09AM

I never liked Rockstar games but depends on the price.I hear this game is actually good not like the crap of GTA SA.Yet again I hear GTA SA suppose to be good...

alu: Jul 20th 2007; 1:44PM

it was a decent game.. a little too easy though, got kinda boring.
