The game developer DMA Design was formerly published by Nintendo .
Unlike later games in the series , and indeed many earlier influences , the first two GTA games were 2D . In 1998 , DMA moved many of these design concepts into a 3D world , with Body Harvest , a Nintendo 64 game developed by DMA Design ( which eventually became Rockstar North when it was acquired by Rockstar Games ) .
