Sounds like somebody missed the point entirely. Next it'll be Wii Sports RPG.

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

I think it could work really well with the Wiimote, but as Grumbler said, they've missed the point here.

It looks rather good visually, pretty much exactly the same as on 360 in SD, but with a bit less bloom and the grid is simpler.

Some of those bigger enemies look new as well.

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

They look like enemy combos...like a diamond in a square etc....

GS: Will the Nintendo games feature something resembling the XBLA version in addition to their new modes?

RC: Is Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved included? Yes it is. All there, all 100 percent of it, untouched and as excellent as ever. We'll even let you game-share it to as DS friend if you like...even if you own only the Wii version!

omfg! I loved the demo of this game on the xbox360. It looked pretty flashy on the xbox didn't it?
Will they sell it in a box for the Wii??

Im quite interested to see how they pull off the DS version, but at least theres a demo of it in the actual wii version.

Looks nice, the graphics remind me of Darwinia.

This is gonna be a downloadable game right? If so it gives me high hopes about the rest of the stuff that might appear. Online multiplayer (including co-op! YAY CO-OP) and leader boards and a free DS version demo? Maybe the 'original stuff' service won't be as awful as the VC...

As long as it's not hugely overpriced...

Do you really think so? Or is that a "rhetorical" question.

Well I assume it will be since the original was on XBL and it's not the kind of game you'd really pay more than

Wow that looks quite good... and ive only heard good things about it! But i doubt ill be paying

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Well they had to put something else in it to not make it just a strait borring port. What did you want?
