Sadly Q Entertainment had some bad news for all you portable puzzle fans today. Lumines I & II will not be on PSN any time soon.
Wccftech had the great pleasure of speaking with Tetsuya Mizuguchi at the recent Reboot event, discussing synesthesia, Tetris Effect, Rez, Lumines and more.
An interview with the famed creator of 'Rez', 'Lumines' and 'Space Channel 5'.
I'm probably the only one who genuinely liked Child of Eden (of course Rez is better though). I hope we see a full VR rhythm game from him next,
you are not alone mate.. I even send him and his company few posts to make Child of eden VR..but they never replied.. I bought Child of eden like more than 5 times and gave it as presents to friends...great game
During their Spring Nindies Showcase, Nintendo announced that the 2005 rhythm puzzle game, Lumines, is heading to the Nintendo Switch sometime this spring as Lumines Remastered.
that makes no sense. the compilation of the disc is the same as the digital Download.
why wouldnt you want your game on the PSN store? you cut off the middle man and make more profit from both a real store and a Digital Download store.
Part of the initial success of the PSP was Lumines, a stunningly inventive music-synced puzzler that’s since seen various ports on various platforms. The original’s still the best, though, but if you were expecting to be able to play it on your PSPgo any time soon you’re mistaken, as Q Entertainment’s Twitter has highlighted the reasons behind the absence of the game on the PSN Store, especially frustrating for me as I love the game.
“We would love to bring Lumines/Lumines II to the PSN store,” they said, “but there are complications, music licensing, was published by Namco, etc… It’s just not as simple a matter of slapping Lumines I/II up on PSN as it seems. The songs “Shinin’” and “Lights” were licensed for the UMD version of the game. To repurpose the game for PSN, we’d need to re-license, etc. And since Bandai Namco is the publisher of Lumines I, it’s basically up to them to put on PSN.”
“We’d love to see it as a PSN game, though!”
i bought the lumines game that's on the psn cause i've heard so many great things about it but i really don't see what all the fuss is about. I don't really care for it to be honest. The music is nice but i don't like how the puzzle system is set up. I think my problem is that i suck at it. I can never get past the 4th song.
I guess, Q Entertainment's Marketing Executive failed business class. Maybe he/she never went to college. Who knows...?
