Sierra Entertainment, a division of Vivendi Games announced today that Geometry Wars: Galaxies has gone gold and will be available nationwide on November 20th for the Nintendo Wii and November 27th for the Nintendo DS.

The Geometry Wars: Galaxies videogame for both the Nintendo Wii and DS accelerates to warp speed with tons of enemies, more than 60 planets, bigger power-ups and a brand new Battle Drone to help players tear through the campaign mode. For the first time ever, Geometry Wars will also let players battle in a variety of planets in multiplayer mode.

Those that own both the Nintendo Wii and DS games can link the game together using Wi-Fi to unlock bonus levels to both videogames. As well, Geometry Wars: Galaxies is one of the first Nintendo Wii videogames to offer the ability to link the Nintendo Wii system via GameShare with the DS system to download a full, free version of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved.

“We are excited to provide in Geometry Wars: Galaxies more than 60 times the amount of content than Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved with new levels, controls, weapons and enemies,” said Al Simone, senior vice president, global marketing for Sierra Entertainment.

Geometry Wars: Galaxies is now available for pre-sell and will be available on Nintendo Wii for $39.99 and the Nintendo DS for $29.99. Both games have an ESRB rating of “E” for Everyone. For more information, please visit the game’s official Website at www.geometrywarsgalaxies/.


With the instant success of the Xbox 360 version this is bound to sell well on the Wii and DS, but will the steep price tag put people off? After all it's about £8 (edit: £3.40 now apparently) on XBLA.

Arcade game for full price? Yyye- NO!

Actually it's £3.40 on XBLA.

The live arcade one is only one level though.
This one has a tonn, multiplayer and a free DS game in there aswell.

Even still though I'll probably wait until I can find it around £20.

But high score-based games aren't supposed to have levels... And you don't get a free DS game, you can download a demo to your DS as long as you're right next to your Wii. Great... And you have to buy both games if you want to unlock all the bonus levels... Even better...

I'm beginning to understand why they were able to sell it so cheaply on the 360

They wanted it to be free, but MS wouldn't let them do it. They probably thanked them afterwards though....
