Disney owned Buena Vista Games has announced that they are going into a partnership with Lumines creator Q Entertainment.

The deal would see these two companies bringing four new titles to market for the handheld and the Playstation 2 gaming platforms.

Q Entertainment was founded in 2003 by noted ex-Sega games designer Tetsuya Mizuguchi and is the maker of two of the most popular gaming titles for the handheld gaming console platform. The sales of its Lumines on the PSP have touched an impressive 700,000 units worldwide to date.

Mizuguchi himself is behind games including Space Channel 5 and Rez during his time at Sega. Both these games are credited for being highly innovative and appealing titles.

The deal between these two companies would see Buena Vista Games publishing four new games from Q including Lumines II and Every Extended Extra for the PSP, Lumines Plus for Sony’s PS2 console and Meteos: Disney Edition.

Graham Hopper, BVG’s senior vice president and general manager said in a statement on this deal: “We are looking forward to enhancing our relationship with the talented team at Q Entertainment to bring gamers unique and innovative gaming experiences. With BVG’s expertise in publishing a broad portfolio of video games for the entire family, these new titles are a perfect fit because they appeal to a wide variety of gamers.”
