Bully To Repeat Classes On Wii, Xbox 360

Rockstar Games is on a porting tear lately, following on news that the company is bringing Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis to the Wii. Not long after that release, the developer plans to re-release its high school adventure Bully for the Wii and Xbox 360. The new version, dubbed Bully: Scholarship Edition, as we know it features little in the way of Wii and Xbox 360 exclusive features—obviously, there's going to be some waggle involved as well as achievements—but we're sure Rockstar will come up with something for the double dip.

Say, I just realized something. If this is the "Scholarship Edition" that must mean it's free! Thanks, Rockstar! Full press release on the world's most dangerous game follows.

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

NEW YORK—(BUSINESS WIRE)—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.
