According to most reviews, Geometry Wars: Galaxies was a fantastic game. According to sales data, it was a complete flop. But given the nature of the game, could it's release as a full retail title have possibly resulted in any other way?
Sure the game was greatly expanded upon it's earlier Xbox live arcade version, but it was still the kind of arcade game that you just don't find on store shelves now-a-days. It's fair to say that the game would have seen much better sales had Wiiware been an option for the game's release.
Many of the people eagerly eyeing the recent announcement of Gyrostarr for it's fast paced and brightly coloured arcade action (http://wii.ign.com/articles/868/868645p1.html) would probably be fleeing to a Wiiware rerelease of Galaxies or even a cut down, more Xbox arcade Live version of the game.
So with the retail sales of the Wii version being so poor, but the Wiiware's potential for the exact same game being so great, do you think we'll see Geometry Wars : Not quite galaxies?
