Q Entertainment is bringing an utterly unstylistic version of its two-times-released (well, maybe we shouldn't count the Disnied version) DS puzzler, Meteos, to Xbox Live Arcade in Japan. Dubbed, Meteos Wars, the console port will include a new multiplayer experience. The game will feature a two-player versus mode where each player has a gauge that fills as sets of blocks are launched and enemy attacks are thwarted. Filling the gauge unlocks a special attack that predictably spells disaster for the opposing player.

Meteos Wars will also include a few added extras, like customizable characters. It's due in Japan this October, but has yet to be confirmed for release elsewhere. Wouldn't this be the perfect tie-on for that rumored motion controller...? (We're just sayin'.)

Update: Q Entertainment just shot us word confirming Meteos Wars for US release in October, priced at 800 ($10).

as excited as i am, im also a little weary about how this will translate with a controller. i never got used to playing with the d-pad on the ds version. and like joystiq said, meteos would work pretty well with that rumored motion controller. im surprised that this game didnt hit the wii first.

Shouldn't that be on WiiWare? you know, since it was on Nintendo before.
Seems logical, but I think if you look at it from Q Entertainments point of view...

Wiiware=less downloaded games, less profits to be made

XBLA=Millions of games downloaded, tons of profit to be made

XBLA is just the obvious choice, so many people download games off there, while I've noticed that Wiiware gets downloads just not a whole lot...
What Alex said is true. But my fears echo those of Greasers. Even more so because I didn't know that Meteos could be played with the d-pad and thus I couldn't imagine it not using the touch screen.
Yeah, I see what you guys mean...plus with the 360's D-pad not being...oh what's the word...good, there could be some problems.

I guess we'll have to wait and see how this turns out.
