Meteos heads to Japanese Live Arcade this October
12
According to 1UP the DS puzzle game Meteos is headed to Xbox Live Arcade in under two months. Developed by Q Entertainment -- the same folks that brought us Lumines Live, Every Extend Extra Extreme and Rez HD -- Meteos is a puzzle game that challenges players to match blocks and blast them off towards an opponents "planet." Like most puzzle games, it's more fun than it sounds. There's just one thing: according to 1UP, Meteos is only heading to the Japanese Xbox Live Arcade as "no US release has been announced yet." Given the track record of Q Entertainment, we're willing to bet that Meteos will release in the US as well. Let's just hope that the Lumines pricing fiasco doesn't come back to haunt us when it does.

Please please please release this everywhere.
Normally this would be a given, but they did make a PC version only in Japan.

I STILL play this a ton on DS... easily one of my top ten favorite handheld games, and I prefer it over Lumines any day. So I really hope this gets a state-side release sooner rather than later. It would have been great to add on to the summer of arcade. But I'm concerned about how the controls would translate...

I enjoyed lumines a lot. I'd love to see a new pack released for it.

They are going to need some seriously clever controls to make this game work without a touch screen. The original game is heavily designed around it, if the control isn't absolutely perfect then it will need to be slowed down significantly just to be playable.
