Lumines coming to iPhone

By Oli Welsh Published 26 August, 2009

Plus price drops on 360 and PS3.

Q Entertainment has revealed that it's to release its hypnotic musical block-puzzler, Lumines, for the iPhone, reports 1up.

The iPhone and iPod Touch version of the game - featuring brand-new skins and music - will form part of a big Lumines marketing push starting late this September.

Q will also be dropping the price of Lumines Live on Xbox Live Arcade and Lumines Supernova on the PlayStation Network, and re-releasing Live's Genki Rockets skins and Supernova's holiday pack.

Expect all of this Lumines goodness to turn up in late September or early October.

    Damn just bought Lumines Live last week! Hopefully the expansions for it get price drops too.

    I should break this out on PSP again. It made some wonderful sounds last time I played it.

  • Eraysor #5 3 years ago

    Love the game, but I wonder how it'll control on the iPhone. Dedicated rotation buttons presumably.

  • ardamillo #6 3 years ago

    I love Lumines too but the Xbox d-pad makes it almost unplayable.

  • neosalad #7 3 years ago

    @ ardamillo, on the 360, use the analog stick all the way, not the d-pad!
    i still play this regular, bougth it when it came down from 1200 to 800, and it's been the best money i ever ever spent on a XBLA game.
    i really hope the expansions get some price cuts.. i'd buy them for sure!!
    i did get the rockin holiday pack but that was all.

    One of the first games a bought for my PSP years ago as a US import. Great game and I'm still yet to complete it. I wonder if they will just have vitual on screen buttons.

    Lumines Live on XBLA was always a giant ripoff at the old price, 1200 points for a game that wasn't even fully featured and instead forced you to buy additional modes and themes (even ones already available in the PSP versions).

    I grabbed it at a discount and still felt very ripped off. Definitely not buying a single product from this company ever again.

    been put off buying it on 360 even though i love it on psp, due to the fact it cost me a fiver on psp but they want well over that just for one game mode on 360,

    Bundle it all together and sell it for 800-1200 and youve got yourself a deal baby
