News from Eurogamer

Tetsuya Mizuguchi has been talking about Lumines II at the Nordic Game event in Malmö, Sweden.

Playing through levels featuring music from New Order and Beck, the Japanese developer bashfully grinned, "This is the first time I show Lumines II in public in the world."

And everyone clapped.

"For Lumines II, the concept is, 'How can we combine the music and music video in a game?' We have cooperation from ten famous artists from the western market and artists from Asia, and we put 100 tracks into it. We have music from Black Eyed Peas, Beck, Missy Elliot, Chemical Brothers, Stephanie, Junior Senior, Go! Team, Junkie XL and New Order. So, which artist do you want?"

Some Saliva, KanYe West, Drowning Pool, or Arctic Monkeys. That'd be cool.

I don't want any of that crap. I want music similar to the original! Leave it to the good ole Westerners to screw up a fantastic game. Why does this always happen in America? Sonic Cd, Gran Turismo, etc...Although I do like New Order...

New Order - it's surprising. But all the rest i don't like. I want a funky The Pillows tunes!
