Lumines Supernova on PSN tomorrow News

PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

4 February, 2009

Q Entertainment will finally release Lumines Supernova on the European PlayStation Store tomorrow.

You'll need GBP 9.99 or EUR 14.99 to buy the puzzle game, which adds Dig Down and Sequencer modes to the much-ported, proven formula.

Dig Down has players burrow through a block-filled screen, and the Sequencer lets users piece together backing tracks from a stock selection of loops.

Trophies are in, as are Skin Edit, Time Attack, Puzzle, Mission and local head-to-head modes familiar to Lumines. There's no online multiplayer yet, though.

To celebrate all this, Q Entertainment has teamed with Media Molecule to offer a special LittleBigPlanet skin.

Lumines, for those unaware, is a puzzler based around arranging 2x2 squares of same-coloured blocks falling from the top of the screen. Do so, and a vertical line sweeps along and clears them in time to the music.

Look out for our thoughts on Lumines Supernova soon.

Lumines only really works on handhelds IMO.

Hopefully Supernova will change my mind.

I bought this on the US store before xmas, and really enjoyed it again, having not played a version since the PSP original.

Sounds like a good month for the PSN store with the Burnout DLC & Killzone 2 demo also due tomorrow and Noby Noby Boy & Flower over the next two weeks.

Yea, I want Cuboid too.
Apparently its the best of the Creat Studios games, not that Magic Ball was bad, but I'm kinda done with that game now. Need something new!

Sony put up a demo and charged £7.99 for it. It was supposed to be free, with a purchase of the full game available from the demo itself. So it got removed about half an hour after it was posted, and one of the developers said they were trying to sort it all out on NeoGAF.

Cuboid can wait and new DLC is coming for it in a few weeks in the US so SCEE should release it in quieter period. If SCEE blow their wad and release everything decent one fell swoop, people will moan that nothing has been out for ages.

I have a feeling that this will play more like Lumines I than Lumines II which isn't necessarily a good thing but I hope to be proven wrong.

I'm a bit surprised that Q Entertainment didn't make this native 1080p (everything I've read so far points to it being 720p).

Cuboid is fun but only kept my interest for about 3hours. After i had played all the levels and retried a few for better times, it had been exhausted.

It's a really easy set of trophies though.

I'm tempted to give MAgic Ball a try next as that looks like fun.

Good news swiftly followed by the bitter pill of the £10 price tag. :-(

Do you think there will be a demo of it? I would like to try before I buy.


£9.99 isn't to bad a price, I was expecting it to be about the £14.99 mark.

Unlikely that there would be a demo. Lumines has been around long enough for people to know what it's about. 2 versions on PSP, 1 on PS2, 1 on the 360, a Java version for mobiles and you can buy it via Steam for PC.

Lumines I is a great game but Lumines II is better. I just don't know which of the 2 Supernova will be closer to. £9.99 isn't a bad price, considering how much it was when it first came out on the PSP (£34.99).

Loved this on 360, especially liked the achievements. But felt it was more suited the the PSP control system (More solid, acurate D pad)
Always thought a PS3 version should be released, and trophies makes it utterly unmissable. Sold!
