First Images of Geometry Wars: Galaxies on Wii

We’ve known for a while that Geometry Wars was no longer an Xbox exclusive, having served dutifully for years as a thumb-busting diversion in both Project Gotham Racing and on Xbox Live Arcade. What we didn’t know until today is how much of an impact the Live Arcade HD graphics made. Would you look at these screens? Youch! Ok, there could be some issue with the capture hardware, you’ve seen it happen before, but the game looks quite unappealing, at least in screenshots. I’m sure it’ll look just as psychedelic and migraine-inducing in motion. Until we finally get some footage, check out the screens, read up on the details, and start doing 100 lb. curls to get your arms in shape for the frantic arm-flailing workout.

The Geometry Wars: Galaxies videogame delivers an all new mission-based campaign 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. The controls have been optimized for Nintendo systems, allowing gamers to use the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controller or DS touch screen to execute hotshot moves as never before.

For the first time ever, the Geometry Wars videogame will let players battle via hot seat, co-op, simultaneous and versus in multiplayer mode. Those that own both the Nintendo DS and Wii can link the game together using Wi-Fi to unlock bonus content. Elite players will be able to challenge the universe by posting high scores on the Wii’s online leader board.

The Geometry Wars: Galaxies videogame also includes the full version of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, winner of IGN’s 2005 Best XBLA Title of The Year.
