Geometry Wars Galaxies defects to Wii and DS

by David Hinkle { May 22nd 2007 at 2:00PM }

Coming our way from the latest issue of Nintendo Power is word that Bizarre Creations' Xbox Live Arcade-defining hit Geometry Wars will be gracing the Wii and DS. The title, which will feature the Evolved and Retro modes of its Xbox 360 counterpart, is also to have an "extensive single-player campaign." No word on whether the game will be offered via download or sold in boxed retail form, so be sure to keep an eye on DS Fanboy for further news as it develops.

How is this possible?

I would have assumed Microsoft, being the publisher of Project Gotham and Geometry Wars, owned the license for the game. And the developer, Bizarre Creations, isn't even working on it. It's being developed by the guys that made Battalion Wars.

Did Nintendo license the brand from Microsoft to make a game?

These are questions that should have come up in the Joystiq thread, but as always, it devolved into a fanboy flame war.

They traded licenses with Nintendo. Mario is on its way to the Xbox Live Arcade.

And btw, how the hell is this even going to work? Geo wars only really works with two analog joysticks, one for 360 degree movement, the other for 360 degree firing. I cant imagine the game playing very well with any other setup...
