IGN writes regarding Geometry Wars: Galaxies for the Wii... there's been a worrying trend gamers have had to face since the start of Wii Sports fever. Whether they intend to or not, Nintendo sets standards in everything it does, and Wii's simplistic game design can often give publishers the wrong idea on how to promote titles on the platform. Wii Sports was extremely simple, but it was also a free packing. Link's Crossbow Training is also extremely simple, but again comes at the price of $20 including the Zapper shell. In the world of Wii, price vs. product is a key issue, as there needs to be a certain level of accountability when delivering simple gaming experiences at a full price.
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.
Nice score :) I loved the original, this is a must buy for me
