Ahhhh Meteos is still one of my best loved DS games - even though it's been largely forgotten by the masses :(

This'll be ace, provided they can manage to make the d-pad/stick controls decent. The d-pad controls on the DS version were pish so I hope they're not just going with that.

I love Meteos... haven't played in ages on me DS though :(
Hopefully this will be just as good!

Ace game but it really needs a stylus for those quick accurate movements.....hmmm

I really hope this doesn't turn out to be another fine Q? game borked in translation to the XBLA. It's weird but they managed to drop the ball on both Every Extend and (to a lesser degree) Lumines, and those didn't even have to tackle interface problems. :O

Can't see how it'll work as well with the Xpad but even then it could stil be fantastic.

Meteos is indeed one of the best DS games by far but, as suggested above, controls could be trouble. Then again, Q? Entertainment are one of the best devlopers in the puzzle genre so I hold out hope.

Atm, XBLA FTW! :o)

How exactly did they bork Lumines?

E4 was always crap tbh

Never a fan of Meteos myself. Lumines was always far superior.

Anyone ever tried playing Meteos with the dpad? It SUCKS.

The only way I can see it working is if you use the analogue stick to move a mouse-style pointer around the play field, then holding a button 'locks' onto a block in that column, which you can then push up and down, then once you let go the pointer re-appears.

Scrolling around the blocks like you do with the d-pad controls in the DS version (if for some insane reason you have a fear of stylus') was actually quite terrible. Praise the stylus!
