Rockstar Games announces Bully: Scholarship Edition for the Xbox 360™ and Wii™

New York, NY - July 19, 2007 - Rockstar Games is proud to announce that Bully: Scholarship Edition is coming to the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the Wii™ home video game system from Nintendo this Winter.

Both the Wii and Xbox 360 versions will retain the wit and deep gameplay of the previously released PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system title and will boast additional new content. Bully: Scholarship Edition takes place in the fictional New England boarding school of Bullworth Academy, and tells the story of 15-year-old Jimmy Hopkins as he experiences the highs and lows of adjusting to a new school. Capturing the hilarity and awkwardness of adolescence perfectly, Bully: Scholarship Edition pulls the player into its cinematic and engrossing world. Universally acclaimed upon first release, Bully: Scholarship Edition is a genre-crossing action game with a warmth and pathos that is unrivaled.

Bully received a perfect "10/10" from Electronic Gaming Monthly and 1up.com and was heralded as "a great, well-crafted action game that has one of the best senses of humor around" by IGN.com. USA Today called it "a fantastic debut title by Rockstar Vancouver." The San Francisco Chronicle wrote "Bully has no shortage of creative energy, offering an immersive boarding school experience that is imaginative, funny and filled with surprises."

Come and explore the zealous joy, mirth, and torment of youth with Jimmy Hopkins and Bully: Scholarship Edition when enrollment commences this Winter.

This sounds like a "Special Edition" type thing, like Ninja Gaiden Black. I wouldn't call it a sequel.

Seems like a Ninja Gaiden Sigma type dealy, so it's not an exclusive or anything. Pretty cool I guess though.

1. Because they are working on LA Noire for the PS3, and it's funded by sony (PS3 exclusive).

2. This isn't a sequel, it's like ninja gaiden sigma/black.

Good. I was planning on getting Bully soon for the PS2. I might as well wait for this new edition for the wii. If it's at a budget price I'll pick it up. If not, I'll purchase the PS2 version.

I wonder if they will give a complete graphics overhaul to the 360 version. I doubt it.....it would be sweet though.

it'll probably be normal price -- but it will have extra content.

I definitely liked it... Hell perhaps even more so than any GTA.

It's definitely good for the people who weren't able to experience it... much like Ninja Gaiden Sigma.

Pretty neat for those who don't own a PS2 (although the odds of that are slim.)

L.A. Noire actually isn't published by Sony anymore. It's published by Rockstar now and being developed by Team Bondi.

Then I'd rather pick it up for $20 for the PS2 and save myself $30. Not worth the extra content imo.

I never said it was published by Sony. They are funding it, and have an exclusive agreement with Team Bondi for 3 games, exclusivly for the PS3 (first being LA Noire).

Team Bondi....aren't some of those developers from The getaway (original dev team) and some original GTA developers?

The same reason why sigma didnt come to 360.Bully can already be played on the ps3 and the developers just dont see the worth in releasing a HD bully for the ps3.Why is this so hard for people to understand?

It's on the PS2 already, that's why they won't bother to make a PS3 version. The 360 and Wii never had the game before, so they get it now.

To put it in the terms of cows, this is an "enhanced remake" and not a port.
