No GTA 3 is a PS2 Game, Wii can't emulate PS2 games, even the PS1 struggles a lot

He means the GTAIII port, not emulation.

It should be possible as it is running on a 3DS.

There's a PPC port in the works on the Macrumours forum iirc, It's currently working on G4 and G5 chips albeit glitchy and buggy.
The Wii, having a CPU that closely resembles a G3 is probably to weak to run the game not to mention the 88 (?) MB of RAM that would struggle to load the models and textures.

Short answer: no probably not.

But Scarface runs on Wii.

But Scarface runs on Wii.

Scarface for the Wii is specifically designed with the Wii resources and architecture in mind.
Afaik, there's no Scarface decompilation/source port for the WIi.

tl;dr A wii game is different then a homebrew port.

@jayglass Scarface is an official port, they have access to the source code.

It is possible for sure, either by lowering textures quality or using hardware acceleration.
