DS #1745: Geometry Wars: Galaxies (USA)

[mkoo]

I was excited about "Nintendo WFC" logo for a sec. It's for high score only. (Is it?)
Played 10 mins and I'm on 25th place

I wonder if those slowdowns happen on the real card as well?!?

I have the latest kernel (1.08) for my R4, but I get an "error loading data" message when I try to play Geometry Wars. Any tips?

A tip is if you have your thumb pad from the DS Phat, it's a heck of a lot easier than using the stylus imo.

 

[Akoji]

Hmmm... I should try that, maybe I could beat my 93 millon high score

(beat that pffff!)

Err...the latest firmware for the R4 is 1.12. You might want to check this link:

Huh. Serves me right for just looking at the home page and not going to the downloads section. Thanks.

Thank you gigermunit, I was horribly disappointed when I read that on gamespot.

You don't have the latest kernel.

The DS version connects fine to the Wii version the unlock the last galaxy (using EZ-V).

Used this game to premier my newly arrived R4, which I am praising. My DSX is at the point were it only boots about 25% of the time so I was really waiting for this thing. Beats the piss out of the DSX in my opinion. Anyways, moving onto the game...

It is EVERYTHING I was hoping for. This game is pure pick-up-and-play fun. If you like anything remotely arcade-ish, this is a must have. I know it will be on my microSD card for a very long time.

I wonder if those slowdowns happen on the real card as well?!?

Can anyone confirm if the retail cart is free from slowdowns? This is well worth buying

 

[GeekyGuy]

Yeah, this is definitely one of those games. Kind of like the mindless fun of Tetris. I still don't know exactly what each little helper thing does, but I'm unlocking them anyway.

I'm also getting a tiny bit of lag here and there (using my CycloDS), but that's, I'm sure, normal for a game like this. I mean, damn, that's a lot of stuff going across the screen at once.

Anyway, it's got a very aethetically pleasing visual style, but I sure hope there are some other musical themes, `cause that one theme is getting old quick.

 

[Akoji]

Even with the slowdown the game is really playable, and I only got some in the first 3 games when I was beyond 50 millons points :S
But no I don't know if the orignal cart have slowdown, but it most, since none of my roms have slowdown on my G6.

 

[leetdude_007]

online leader board? I'm definitely getting this now.

edit: I just read on their forum that the highest score is "safe" from server reset because scores are "safely stored in the wii's memory unit". I suspect the same thing for DS. Let's hope they used at least some light form of encryption, but I'm sure they didn't.

Yeah it really addicting, I always try to beat the higher score. Add tons of replay value, utill hackers goes on.

 

[knocturnal]

Yeah, really good version of geometry wars. There's a little bit of slowdown when lots of enemies are on screen but it's actually useful and doesn't ruin the gameplay.

Online scoreboards are great for games like this, not looking forward to the action replay cheaters though

The bits they added over retro evolved makes this worth playing.

I'm dreading when the codes come out as well, AR codes should be a no no to games like this.

I agree with those who say this is a permanent game on their cart

Old school fun on the new school DS xD

Too bad I won't have enough space, damn you FFXII!!
