Both Xbox and Nintendo fans were shocked earlier this week when it emerged that Geometry Wars, the awesome arcade shooter that's made its home on Xbox Live Aracde, is making its way to DS and Wii.
As well as remakes of Geometry Wars Evolved, the new game, entitled Geometry Wars: Galaxies, will also pack a brand new, fully-fledge single-player campaign.
CVG got in contact with Vivendi Games' senior producer on the project, Roger Carpenter, who told them what to expect from the new Nintendo-bound editions of the series.
They also got three exclusive screenshots for you too.
ThisGenGaming says "Check your Xbox One ready to install lists if you have Geometry Wars Evolved as the game is now backwards compatible on the Xbox One. Geometry Wars Evolved originally released as an arcade title in 2005 on the Xbox 360."
This was on the list since day one...
It was the first title that I downloaded and played to test out Backwards compatibility, when it was only available in the preview program.
I think I did that the night of E3 when they announced it was going live to all preview program participants.
Did they take it down at some point and it's just now coming back?
Maybe it's been gone and I didn't realize it because I already had it downloaded, but it was definitely there from the beginning for me.
Edit: Yeah that is exactly what happened. It never made the final list, it was just in the preview program.

Um, yay? I mean, it's great for those that have the game but this is another title that really isn't too high on the votes I don't think.
At the very least, an update on titles announced months ago would be nice.
If MS is getting permissions for these small titles then I wish they would get Sega's Sonic All Star Transformed.
It's time they made a sequel to that wouldn't you say? Idk if sales were that hot for the last one though... Idk maybe they were.
I would love a sequel more than anything. But I don't think it did do that well especially since they released more content on the mobile version and nothing for consoles.
If they can't do a sequel then at least make it BC.
is it me , or does it look washed out on X1? like the brightness was turned up too much?? it doesnt have that crisp vector line pop like it does on the 360.....
Looks fine to me but I'm just going by memory.
I didn't load up the original to compare.
Let's be fair for a moment. Shoot 'em ups (shmups) made in the last twenty years have been labeled many things - boring, repetitive, old-fashioned, unfair, and purely dependent on memorization. This all made the genre stop growing until it was only appealing to a certain niche market.
Trying to break the mold without breaking the core of what makes shoot 'em ups fun, the team behind Roche Fusion worked hard to create a game that can bring back this genre for mainstream gamers. Since the team consists of two different generations, we were easily able to take what people loved about the shmup genre and combine it with all the things they currently love in newer genres.
This week's HUNT brings you Matt vs. Jeremy.
-What I can say is that Geometry Wars: Galaxies is a Nintendo exclusive crazy that they aren't putting out on marketplace as well but it's pretty sweet to be able to play this game on the Wii/DS.
-Both versions have more online leaderboards. Hurray for that!
and there will be the Wii/DS connectivity for this title as well ^^
Even though its not going to be on Live I am still looking forward to it, although I would love the achievment points. The Wii controller system, however, seems a very good fit for the game. I am reallly looking forward to it.
