The Wii and DS editions of Geometry Wars: Galaxies, based on Bizarre Creations' prodigious multi-directional grid-shooter, are complete and will be in stores later this month, publisher Sierra has announced. The Wii edition hits stores on November 20, while the DS version arrives on November 27. Both were handled by Kuju Entertainment, with Bizarre consulting on the latest entries of the series that began as a mini-game in the Project Gotham Racing franchise and exploded into popularity as a launch title for Xbox Live Arcade.

Unlike other Geometry Wars titles, Galaxies features a full-fledged single-player campaign that features various missions and new grids, as well as a variety of multiplayer modes. Owners of the Wii version will be able to wirelessly transfer a copy of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved--the game that propelled the series to stardom, not the new title--to DS systems via local Wi-Fi "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 Sierra senior VP of global marketing Al Simone.

I can see my DS getting a bit more play with this. All my other "games" are so ... casual that I casually lose interest after a few weeks. :D This should be good for some good old hardcore arcade action on the go.

  I wouldn't really call this game a big step away from "Casual" : jad3d
  - Really. You'd compare GW to Bejeweled, or perhaps Animal Crossing? : Damodred

  No. You get a downloadable version of the original game that was on XBLA. : Chris Faylor
  - Clarified things a bit, it was kinda confusing. Sorry. : Chris Faylor

What is the control scheme on DS? I can't imagine how it would play properly.
