Yeah, I know -- the title of this is absolutely ludicrous. First of all, what drought? Secondly, am I saying that the Xbox 360 system seller, Geometry Wars, is coming to not one, but two Nintendo platforms? Impossible!
Nintendo Power is reporting that Kuju Entertainment (the folks behind the GameCube game that was supposed to be Advanced Wars: Under Fire, Battalion Wars) will be bringing Geometry Wars: Galaxies to the Nintendo DS and Wii. Each will have system specific controls (touch and motion, respectively) and are being designed exclusively with Nintendo's systems in mind.
But it gets even crazier than that, because they're also reporting that the game will have a single-player campaign (say what?), as well as (are you sitting down?) multiplayer modes. The games will also contain the greatest game of this generation, Retro Evolved, for fans of the original.
And just when you thought it was going to start getting easier to find a Nintendo Wii ...

Dunno about with a touch-screen, though. You gotta have a full view to dodge and evade in GW, so I don't know how well having your hand, or at least the stylus, in the way is going to work. I also pray they won't settle on a dpad+stylus scheme. I hate having to balance the force on the touchscreen with my moving left hand on the dpad. Feels awkward. Would rock if they let you use two stylus at one time, but with how touchscreens work (at least the ds one) I know this isn't possible.
My only concern is whether I buy this version, buy the original when I eventually get a 360, or buy both (since I'm a consumer whore).
Back to finishng my collection of Spaceballs Miis...

Seriously though, this is top news for GW fans. Personally I can't get more than 150,000 and suck balls at it.
You have no idea. I don't even have a 360, and i've only played the free demo at stores, but this game is soooooo good, so awesome, your brain will pop.
then it was $5 or 400 MS points
it will be at least $19.99 for wii/ds
i just read that an analyst projected that geometry wars will be $70 by 2012 when the ps4 is released.
DO WANT
Hole farming will be so hard when you can't see what's going on because your hand is blocking it.
