Lumines 2 falling into place?

Word on sequel to Mizuguchi's PSP puzzler comes from Sony's PSUnderground pre-E3 promo video.

For many early adopters of the PSP, the game that left thumbs aching was Ubisoft's Lumines, from acclaimed game developer Tetsuya Mizuguchi. Lumines was lauded by critics for its dazzling display of colors in tandem with challenging gameplay, but little has been heard about the franchise since.

Today, however, word came from an unlikely source. On Sony's Web site, a video teasing gamers of what to expect from Sony's exclusive look at its own E3 presence lists a bunch of games that attendees can expect to see at the convention.

Cohost Steve Truitt hypes up the PSP, before saying that Lumines 2 will be at the convention, in addition to previously announced titles like LocoRoco, Gangs of London, and Lemmings.

Though there has been no official announcement about a sequel to Lumines, it's likely one is in the works, as the promo video was an official Sony production.

    This is great and I can't wait to play it (sadly I will have to wait) Lumines was an amazing game(which I'm still playing) and the second one could be even better with all new music and skins

    Given that nearly no good games exist on psp except puzzle games, I guess it's good news.

    this one probably won't stay exclusive very long either.

    More Lumines definitely isn't a bad thing.

    Lumines 2....
    Now what about Meteos 2?!

  • FuguNabe

    The first one was one of the best game on PSP that kept it from dusting when I play my DS (which I take out with me much more often due to it's more impressive library of games). Finally another must have title for my PSP. I'll wait for the review though as whether to see if it has much more to offer than the original. If not then Ill just stick to the original and get the Metal Slug 6 game as well.

    Awesome, I played the first one & I totally loved it. I hope it stands out more than the original.

    Sounds interesting. I really liked the first one, but I want more info on the second one before I get my hopes up.

    cool now i have two games on my get when i ever get a psp list. Now they just need a total of 5 lumines games and then maybe id get a psp but then considering lumines to me is one game they are way behind.

    1st one didn't hook me too good. it was a pretty good game, but tetris and tetris attack are the kings of puzzles to me still. hope limines 2 is good though!

    I still bust out Lumines over a year after I bought it. CLASSIC!

    Bring on the sequel.

  • korn18m

    This is off topic but... I hope they release a demo of Every Extend Extra. I'm more excited about that game than Lumines 2. (unless they release some more details on how Lumines 2 will be different from the first. I have a feeling it will end up like DDR and Tetris, adding different music and keeping the same puzzle play. I hope I'm wrong)

    Man, are you guys ever happy? Every time there is a bad game released for PSP, you all have negative comments. Every time there is a port there is negative comments. But what I don't understand is that when a GOOD sounding game gets announced or released, you guys STILL have negative comments.
