Announcing Geometry Wars Galaxies!
Friday, May 25 GMTOn Nintendo Wii & Nintendo DS
Geometry Wars: Galaxies is coming to the Nintendo Wii and DS! The game will be published by Sierra and developed by Kuju Entertainment, with input from Bizarre Creations every step of the way. You'll be able to get your hands on the games in Fall 2007.
Galaxies isn't just Retro Evolved on a new platform though. There are plenty of new features, the largest of which is the new campaign mode. This area of the game is mission-based, and will see your ship flying from solar system to solar system to fight the 'orrible bad guy shape thingies. There will be new enemies, weapons, and gameplay types. Trust me, there are some really awesome ideas in this area but you'll have to wait a little bit longer to hear about them I'm afraid.
The complete Retro Evolved game mode will be present in both Wii and DS versions, so if you missed it on XBLA or Windows Vista then you can get your fix here. But you want to know what else is cool about GW:Galaxies? The thing that's really awesome? One word: multiplayer.
Of course, the control method is super important when developing for Nintendo platforms. Cakey worked on some prototype Wii control methods before the talented guys at Kuju stepped in, and we found at least 2 different methods which worked really well. We've prototyped on the DS too with similar success, so we're confident that the games will play superbly on the new platforms and will avoid the trap of adding a new control method just for the sake of it.
