Talk:Lumines: Puzzle Fusion

Lumines Supernova

Lumines Live for XBLA is mentioned, why is there nothing on the PSN Title? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.228.42 (talk) 18:34, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Additions

added a couple sentences Davermont

"said to be pronounced"? -Branddobbe 17:22, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)

Lumines -- meaning?

What does Lumines mean? 86.134.81.144 10:52, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

And does it have anything to do with Lumine from Mega Man X8? --Damian Yerrick 03:29, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Lumines is Latin; it is the nominative and accusative plural of Lumen - meaning light (hence, Lumines mean "lights"). Therefore it is not only homophonic to "luminous", but is in fact a word in its own right. I'm going to go ahead and add this information to the main section.

Why was the list of clones deleted?

For example, Minesweeper has a list of clones. This article had one too, but A Link to the Past deleted it: "These links aren't all that relevant." Why is that? (I went back and reverted the change.) --Damian Yerrick 16:43, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

List of clones

This is not really the place for game reviews (ie, "known to have inaccurate sweeping" - known by whom? and when?), I am removing the parenthetical statements attached to them as NPOV. The list is too large already (the subject of the article is "Lumines", not "Lumines clones"), and Wikipedia is not a link repositiory. RobLinwood 01:45, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

List of Skins

Would be nice. 207.126.230.225 22:56, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

• I second this, how about a section where it lists each skin, then tells which of the lumines games they're in, and whether the skin is downloaded content or not. It'll help me decide which version of game to get. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tman7776 (talk • contribs) 01:26, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I added a soundtrack section. Maybe someone can help expand it. Portillo (talk) 06:15, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

PSP homebrew

Since the exploit, people tend to buy Lumines just to downgrade their psp on version 3.50 in my opinon.

Now is it pretty hard to buy the game in stores such as EB games this time of the year due to out of stock. --Johndoe789 17:07, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

And what does this have to do with the article? ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 18:28, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

pfft, just rent the game :D —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.191.176.47 (talk) 06:41, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Sales Increase due to Exploit

I edited the line that said "a 5900% sales increase" to say "5900% increase in the sales rank" because the sales didn't actually go up 5900%.... It moved up from 59th to #1 (or something comparable).... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.136.215.85 (talk) 04:36, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Homebrew section deleted

It needs to be put back up It DOES have to do with the game —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.143.148.172 (talk) 01:53, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I too disagree with 71.146.96.128's assertion that (freeware clones have no place in this article), especially because we have a national newspaper mentioning one of them in an article about the homebrew scene: Routine Upgrades Are the Bane of 'Homebrew' Enthusiasts (Posting in talk because of potential COI.) --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 13:07, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Computer solution link bogus

Somehow "caseyporn" doesn't strike me as a gamer site. 68.229.185.85 (talk) 09:53, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

You'd think so, but it was legit. It's on the Wayback Machine, so I fixed it. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 10:54, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

cover art dispute

At this time, Zxcvbnm wants to replace the current European cover art with the North American cover art, found here. The initial reason was for the version he has is higher quality. But after finding there is a higher quality cover art to replace without changing the version, it became a matter of preference. You can find the details of the discussion here in my talkpage.

So if anyone is willing to provide a third opinion or consensus. It would be greatly appreciated.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 22:41, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Not an expert here but is there a cover that shows more important visuals from the game? At least that seems to be route more preferred by guidelines.Tintor2 (talk) 23:16, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

The covers are roughly the same besides a few extra added elements in the NA version. I didn't expect it to really be a controversy tbh, I just went with the one that I could find in the highest resolution. However it's argued that the PAL version is better because it has less extraneous elements, hence wanting to find consensus._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 23:33, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Here is a clean looking EU version. If you take that, convert to PNG, and then shrink, it will look just as good as the suggested NA version. The NA version looks higher quality because it was uploaded as PNG file which is lossless. Wikipedia displays PNG and JPEG files differently, I've noticed. Always use PNG for computer generated imagery! Current EU version is a JPEG, no good. TarkusAB^talk/contrib 01:12, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Based on the current direction the discussion is going, I made a bold edit and placed back the png file link into the article. However, using the cover art TarkusAB found. I hope this doesn't spring any additional controversy. i understand it was a bold edit, so if you feel it was not done with proper procedure you would like, i'd be happy to discuss it further.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 02:12, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

I think this is the appropriate approach. Unless one cover art has better value, ie conveying more about the game than the other, we should stick with the image used first for stability purposes. - Whadup, it's ya girl, Dusa (talk) 02:29, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

I'm okay with this, although the fact that the Amazon art is slightly skewed is going to bug me. While it's not a big deal, I might try to fix it at some point._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 04:32, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Related, are there any versions of the cover art without the logos, game ratings, etc as laid out in WP:VGBOX (not watching please ping). Regards  Spy-cicle💥  ^Talk? 21:11, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Template:Ping A good quality cover of this game is hard to find. i never found one that was just the cover.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 21:21, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Indeed it can be. Steamdb can often be good for logoless covers but no such entry for the game exists there. Could not find any logoless cover art on image search either unfournately.  Spy-cicle💥  ^Talk? 15:17, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
