Mizuguchi in the Lumines II launch

When Lumines came out for the PSP, it was one of the best games out there. It was created by Q Entertainment, which Mr. Tetsuya Mizuguchi founded. Fast-forward to the present, Lumines II was released last Thursday in Japan. For Q Studios, it was a big step since the original Lumines was published by Bandai (in Japan) and Ubisoft (North America and Europe). Lumines II, however, is Q Entertainment‘s first self-published title.

Mizuguchi, known for his wild launch parties, did not disappoint. The launch event was held in Air. (It’s a popular club just south of the Shibuya Station.) Mizuguchi was joined by different DJs, an MTV crew, people from Famitsu, and even a few guest artists. As expected, there were drinks all around.

The people from Famitsu started a simple tournament in which the loser would buy the winner a drink. Since Mizuguchi won the tournament, one can imagine the amount he drank that night.

As you can see in this image, Mizuguchi (in black) claims another drink:

Lumines II has already been released in the US under Buena Vista. We suggest you consider adding Lumines II to your collection if you even dabble in puzzle games.
