Looks like the rumours from a while ago were right: Geometry Wars is indeed coming to Nintendo's Wii and DS platforms, as early as autumn 2007. Or "late", if you wish, considering that the original Geometry Wars minigame was part of Project Gotham Racing 2 back in 2003. Then of course came the best-known Xbox Live Arcade version, followed this year by a PC adaptation (also released on Steam last month). The latest addition to Bizzare Creations' franchise will be called Geometry Wars: Galaxies, but this time it's being developed by Kuju Entertainment for the Wii and DS.
As expected, they're optimizing the controls for Nintendo's playful little systems (Wiimote, Nunchuk, stylus, so on, so forth), "to execute hotshot moves as never before". Things should get even more exciting in multiplayer, as Geometry Wars: Galaxies will let players battle via hot-seat, co-op, simultaneous and versus modes. Aaand, players that own both a Nintendo DS and a Wii (and assumingly both versions of the game) can link the game together using Wi-Fi to unlock some sort of "bonus content". What kind?... Your guess is as good as ours.
As for the new content being added by Kuju, Galaxies will bring a new mission-based campaing, "where players blast-off on action-paced quests across the galaxy, defending solar systems one by one, defeating waves of alien enemies on new and classic Battle Grids". Plus, the full version of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved will also be included in the package. Not bad, eh? Oh, and we also have some screenshots from the Wii version. Same old, same old...
