More Geometry Wars on the Wii is a possibility

by Candace Savino { Jan 5th 2008 at 2:00PM }

Roger Carpenter, the Senior Producer at Vivendi Games, recently talked about the future of Geometry Wars (and whether it involved the Wii) in an interview with Cubed3. Carpenter said the decision to make a new Geometry Wars for the Wii would depend on "how much the public liked [Geometry Wars: Galaxies]," which we assume is a euphemism for "how well the game sells."

Wii Ware is also a possibility for a new Geometry Wars, but Carpenter wants to wait and see how successful the service becomes before considering that option.

For those of you who like Geometry Wars, would you want to see another version for the Wii? Or do you prefer the game on the DS and XBLA?

I love the Wii, but Geometry Wars is a perfect game for the Xbox360. The sharper HD graphics and tighter controls make it a no brainer for me. I want to see a new Geometry Wars game on XBLA!

XBLA Geometry Wars rocked, being that I can play that one, I could see any real incentive to get the Wii and DS version, hm.

I've loved Geometry Wars: Galaxies on the Wii; I love the demo that I sent to my DS so much, that I'm planning on getting the DS version, as well.

I support the idea of more Geometry Wars on the Wii, and even the DS. Maybe a full-out Waves, instead of an unlockable? Or a new twist?

xbla fo sho. Pointing at the screen can get confusing trying to find the reticle for aiming. Even if you used the classic controller, doing advanced maneuvers such as shooting in opposite direction of movement, thumbs can touch, and mess up your line of thought ...plus the octangular frame sucks compared to that free-roaminess of 360's controller

Having won both, I like the DS version quite a bit more. My wrist isn't strong enough for long session with the Wii version of the game.

Geo Wars for Wii is great fun, but I doubt I would pay for a Wii Ware game. But if a completely new game was released for Wii, Id consider it.

i'm a big fan of geometry wars but i doubt i'd buy another version. There are enough modes in galaxies to keep me busy for a very long time, after all each is pretty much like a full length game in itself anyways.

I love my Geometry Wars on the Wii. I have found that some levels are better with the wiimote/nunchuck combo (since you can aim in all directions, not just the 8 compass points) and some are better with the classic controller (you can switch from left to right shots really fast). I would definitely buy another game if it came to the wii or wiiware.

Let it spread wherever it wants.
And if it wants to go to Wii, please dear God let it!!!

The Wii needs encouragement to actually take their Wii Ware and internet seriously! The Wii needs more experience with the internet so they can realize where they're going with it.

I really love GWG on the Wii, but I have to admit I use the classic controller. The game is going to have some legs for me because as things stand now, I'm not going on to the next world till I've gotten a gold medal on the current one. I haven't even finished the second galaxy (or solar system or whatever) yet, but I've had a hell of a good time getting to where I am.

I wonder if any producers of games for competing systems will have any complaints about the story, or lack thereof.
