LittleBigPlanet level to be featured in Lumines.

gamepro.com | December 05 2008

After all the recreations of games within LittleBigPlanet, it's time for other games to get a dose of Sackboy.

UDPATE: Woops, look like a few outlets, us included, got the facts mixed up, according to Joystiq. Lumines is not coming to LittleBigPlanet, and this story has been altered to correct it.

We already knew that LittleBigPlanet was home to unparalleled creativity, but Q Entertainment and Sony are teaming up to flip the swtich, including a theme of the hot new platform game in the upcoming PS3 version of the famed puzzle series, titled Lumines Supernova . Joystiq is reporting (via Japanese website Dengeki Online) that Lumines' first PS3 appearance may come part and parcel with a skin based on LittleBigPlanet. The series started as a PSP launch surprise, moving onto the PS2 and Xbox 360 in subsequent iterations.

Lumines is know for making use of varying music styles and block designs for different stages, while keeping the core gameplay intact. It'll be interesting to see how that melds with LittleBigPlanet's distinct look and feel. We've only seen three screenshots thus far on Dengeki, so we'll have to wait until closer to the game's winter release to see how LittleBigPlanet's sound works with Lumines' look.
