Luminator

I was in awe when I read about this.

From a Google search it appears you can buy it in UK (amazon), don't know about anywhere else.

If imitation is the greatest form of flattery Q Entertainment should take a bow. Luminator, a German knockoff of the PSP gem from bhv Software, is coming out to the Nintendo DS. Xider, the UK branch of bhv Software, is planning on releasing Luminator DS in the third quarter of 2007 for Europe. The DS release has fifteen different skins background designs with 15 “CD quality” songs. Compared to the dozens of skins in Lumines fifteen skins seem meager. However, Germany has their own spin on dark trance so the beats have to be different from the pop-centric soundtrack of Lumines II.

Screenshot shows piece preview on the Top Screen, which could get annoying.

"CD quality" would probably be 128 kbps or less, given the limitation of the DS DAC. A 1024 Mbit Game Card, with 3/4 of the ROM devoted to music, would allow over 100 minutes.

If I had time, I'd port luminesweeper so that SLOT-1 weenies could get their square on.

I'll probably be ok with that, I only use preview on tetris when the blocks fall instantly.

I looked in GAME and gamestation but they aren't in there yet...
