Nintendo Enthusiast report that Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V has been tested with Wii U devkits.

"All I know now is that GTA V was being tested on the kits for some time. However, my retailer friend says that having a game up-and-running on the Wii U dev kits is not the same thing as having actual plans to release the game."

Teh "retailer friend" part, sort of puts the whole thing into questionable territory. If you're not in the know enough to realise that yourself, we're not really comfortable relying on your information.

Of course, just that something has been up and running on Wii U devkits doesn't really even suggest there has been any major work done on getting the game optimise or running well. It may just have been a simple case of looking into just how the engine runs on Wii U, and what amount of work would be needed to get it into actual release state.

At the same time, if true this does show us that Rockstar actually have some interest in Wii U, which is newsworthy on its own.
