With two recent announcements, plus the ill-fated Manhunt 2, it seems that Rockstar and parent company Take-Two really do have their eyes on our sleek little console. It seems likely that they're not done, either ... so what else do you think might be head our way? More ports, or perhaps something designed solely for the system? Dare we whisper about the possibility of some Grand Theft Auto title? After all, Table Tennis uses the same engine as GTAIV ....Wii Warm Up: Rockstar is coming

If Rockstar had trouble developing GTA4 for the 360 because of size requirements...how could it possible fit on the Wii?!?!
Fingers are still crossed, though...

I'd like some kind of GTA spinoff made specifically for the Wii, rather than a toned down port of GTA4

@ds143,
If it was disc size, don't the 360 and Wii have the same (dual layer DVD)? RAM size I could understand though, and I'm sure is an issue for a wide-open game like GTA.
I'm really looking forward to Table Tennis and I'll probably pick it up right away if the controls are good but I really don't see GTA making it to Wii, at least not in the form we know it. Table Tennis is going to have to be downgraded to be on Wii; I'm just hoping they START with the 360 models and work their way down, if that's possible. That'll give us the best quality possible on Wii rather than giving us GC level models.
For GTA, there doesn't seem to be any HUGE change in graphics, just scale. The Wii might be able to handle it if they scale the models down slightly and limit draw distances. Instead of seeing maybe 3 blocks in only see 1 at a time. They'd have to change the way it's played a little, but I guess it's possible.

@ #1, since the the resolution is lower on the wii the amount of storage required falls also as texture data etc. becomes smaller.

@ds143:
Since Wii doesn't use as highly detailed textures or models as 360/PS3, the visuals won't use up as much disc space.
