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.

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.”

You can also get their views on what games were the most exciting to them at E3 via 1UP.

Bit info-light this one, but according to IGN Ubisoft and Q Entertainment’s Tetsuya ‘Rez’ Mizuguchi will be partnering on a brand new project new project.

This was announced during Ubi’s E3 press conference last night.

Mizuguchi will be project lead on which is currently called codename Eden.

Eden promises to provide “new sensory experiences,” apparently.

No more details were given.

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.

Dengeki’s reporting that Q’s developing an official Lumines game for LittleBigPlanet.

It’s going to be released sometime in the winter, apparently.

Thanks, Kotaku.

On CVG. Not much to go on aside from the fact the sequel – announced this morning for 360 – is going to involve a huge amount of violence, but beggars can’t be choosers.

No date yet.

Q’s upcoming XBLA puzzler Meteos Wars has got a proper pre-TGS going over on IGN, with words, movies and screens being posted from Tokyo tonight. No release date at the moment, but there we are. Take a look.

Q’s Tetsuya Mizuguchi is working on a new IP. We know, because he told Kotaku yesterday, “Yes, I’m working on a new IP.”

We don’t know what it is yet, but it’s a 360 game, apparently.

And that, said the vicar, is that.

Good news arrives this morning in the form of confirmation of a Meteos version – Meteos Wars – for XBLA in October.

For a piffling 800 MS Points, Mr Press Release reckons the latest outing for Q’s puzzler’s going to give you:
