Lumines being kept off PSN by licensing issues

lumines

Lumines won’t be making it to PSN any time soon. Developer Q Games said yesterday on its Twitter feed that licensing issues have created a sticky online wicket for the rhythm-action classic.

“We would love to bring Lumines/Lumines II to the PSN store,” said the company, “but there are complications, music licensing, was published by Namco, etc.”

There was a foll-up, however: “That said, we’re obviously looking into it. :)

Hold onto the dream, weird coloured block fans.

Suda, Hino and Mizuguchi agree that E3 was all about motion control

sonymotioncontroller

Grasshopper Manufacture’s Goichi Suda, Level-5′s Akihiro Hino, and Q Entertainment’s Tetsuya Mizuguchi chat about E3 in the latest Famitsu, and all seem to agree that motion control stole the show.

“Hardware-wise, it was all about Project Natal,” Suda told the magazine. “It’s hard to really understand it unless you use it, and it remains to be seen what you can do with it, but I think it’ll be a huge device. We developed No More Heroes with the Wii remote in mind, but now I want to think about games with Natal in mind. I have to ask myself, as a game designer, what new games can be done with this, what can be an interesting experience and challenge, and I’m looking forward to that.”

“With new technology announcements like Natal and the [PS3] Motion Controller, it’s like I have a feel for the new generation, or that the door to the future has been opened,” said Tetsuya Mizuguchi. “It’s a wholly different impression of the future than we had before. It’s not a shift from 2D to 3D or in the number of polygons, but it’s games trying to open up an entirely new door. I thought it would take longer, but it’s happening faster than I expected.”

Q trademarks Guardian Hearts

Q has trademarked something called Guardian Hearts, reports Siliconera.

As the site points out, Q isn’t “trademark-happy” compared to other publishers, and has only applied for six since it opened: Meteos, Q? (the company logo), Lumines, Every Extend Extra, Genki Rockets and Guardian Hearts.

We love you, Mizuguchi. Make something good.

The latest issue of Famitsu has revealed the first set of details on Ninety-Nine Nights II.

The feelplus-developed title supports two players, apparently, and those who were annoyed with Inphvy in the latest outing will be happy to know that she won’t be returning.

N3 II will remain exclusive to Xbox 360, and is expected to arrive later in the year. It’ll be published by Q Entertainment.

Presumably it will arrive in Japan first, but we’ll keep you posted on that.
