Tetsuya Mizuguchi interview: Thoughts on Lumines III, and Space Channel 5 for the Wii |
Ó
Game designer Tetsuya Mizuguchi comes into view again for the day, along with some interesting thoughts he's got for Lumines, Rez, and Space Channel 5. During a recent interview with GameInformer's Billy Berghammer, he (Tetsuya) was quizzed about the possibility of making Lumines III. Tetsuya explained that for the game, they (Q Entertainment) would have to come up with a fresh game design, and that the its sounds and visuals would have to be "gorgeous."
Tetsuya didn't give any specifics regarding what platform Lumines III would most probably land on, although he hinted that if it were to hit the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, they would have to upgrade the game's effects and sound. He did point out that handhelds like the PSP and DS provided for portability.
Moving on, Tetsuya was also quizzed about the possibility of remakes for Rez, and Space Channel 5. While Tetsuya states that he's only started thinking about a Rez sequel, he did say he was interested in making a new Space Channel 5 game, for the motion-sensitive Wii console to boot. Here reads his answer when asked about Ulala making a comeback by 2008:
Maybe I should send her [Ulala] an e-mail—"Please answer sometime!" 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.
Space Channel 5's dance rhythm action with the Wiimote? Heck, why not? And while this interview doesn't appear to confirm if any of these possibilities are in the works, it appears that Tetsuya is very open to recreating his older classics. We'll get back to you guys if we can get some confirmations.

Comments [refresh]
why Lumines is so hyped. I bought this game just to hack PSPs. I tried it several times and I can't understand why everybody likes this game so much. In my opinion it sucks so bad...
Don't get me wrong, it's not that I only Killer games(there are several Puzzle games that I woud even prefer against a shooter), But in my opinion it sucks so bad...
I think Lumines was one of those love it or hate it games, I personally loved it and could play it for multiple hours on end, but I could see how some people would see it maybe boring or something.
As for Space Channel 5 Part 3 Wii Yes pleeease! Gonna have to get that Michael Jackson to do his part again though, saving them space children.
