There were already Lumines games on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 although I don't know if they are remakes of the PSP games or maybe different ones. Fast forward to the time when Lumines is bound to come out on Playstation 4, Xbox One, Steam and Nintendo Switch. The recent Lumines game was probably on mobile and the cool thing was that there was also the Ultra Japan pack in which Ultra Japan is probably the big DJ festival. Unfortunately, how do you play Lumines with touch screen like it's beyond me. Lumines Electronic Symphony on Playstation Vita has the touch screen controls in addition to the traditional ones but I still preferred the traditional one all along. Maybe there should be a spot you can tap on somewhere else on the screen that does the block rotation while dragging the block horizontally with swiping down being dropping the block.
Things had already changed when it comes to games being transferred to new companies. For X-Nauts, the rights to Psikyo games were already transferred again to say, Zerodiv, in which those classic games were re-released again on modern consoles. For Enhance, it's the same thing although the classic games were remastered for modern consoles with additional stuffs like Rez Infinite which contained VR support and additional area using a different engine. When will there be a new Rez or other Q-Entertainment game or something, who knows? There was already a recent Lumines game on mobile released a few years ago as if the Lumines series is one of the main IPs owned by the main man behind it.
About X-Nauts, there might be additional new games that were part of the Psikyo classics but the sequel to Sengoku Blade Episode 2 which is on PSP is kind of half-assed. The graphics and stages are sort of bland and so are the gameplay concept and the way the game is programmed. There was also a Psikyo crossover spinoff on mobile which consists of Strikers 1945, Gunbird and Sengoku Blade series but what it does is to recycle things from the mobile ports and make itself an endless level-progression type. I don't have time for that bullshit to be frank and it's not that fun progressing that far!
Lastly, for the upcoming remastered version of Lumines, I don't know if there will be contents exclusive to it or not. I have feeling that the assets will be redone for 1080p screen resolution and the bigger challenge ever since the release of the Lumines mobile game will be the license for using licensed music since Enhance is the one-man-studio or some kind. It's a bigger challenge than say, the Lumines mobile game or Rez Infinite since Lumines Remastered will be released on 4 platforms.
