The discussion in this Game Informer interview turned to new mechanics in a possible Lumines sequel, and then to putting that new sequel on the Wii or DS, since the game has been ported pretty much everywhere else by now. Mizuguchi responded "I can't say which is first. Maybe we will be inspired by the platform. With these powerful machines [gestures at PS3 and 360], we can use many effects and sounds. With the DS and PSP, you can have them any time, anywhere or touch the screen."
Um, okay.
At the end of the interview, the Miz threw in some bonus not-saying-much about Space Channel 5, in response to the question "Is 2008 going to be the year Ulala returns?": "Maybe I should send her an e-mail-"Please answer sometime!" [laughs] It would be really good timing to make a Space Channel 5 sequel, in general. I think the Wii would be a really good fit, with the special controls. The audience is wider, too. I think casual players would like it, too."
The moral of the story: Tetsuya Mizuguchi is leakproof, and won't reveal anything about anything until he is good and ready.

All I want is a Rez game on the wii.
I don't care if it's another remake of the same game, everyone I know who's tried it, loves Rez.
I'd sooner buy another copy of that than another copy of the Star Wars Trilogy.

Puzzle games seem to be a lacking genre on the Wii. I think Lumines would make a great addition to the Wii line-up. I have a hard time paying full retail ($49.99) for a puzzle game, but they're still a nice thing to have. It it came out at $20 or $30 I'd totally get it.

I think I'm the only one on the planet who thinks Lumines is an incredibly dull puzzle game.
