    Try looking at the side-by-sides with the PSP, Slim, DS, and DS Lite before you try and make a joke. Slightly smaller than the PSP, but definitely thinner than the DS Lite. And everything beats the original DS.

    You're thinking of Meteos. I'm talking about Lumines. Outside of Japan:
    • Ubisoft published Lumines (PSP).
    • Nintendo published Meteos (DS).
    • Disney published Lumines II (PSP), Lumines Plus (PS2), Every Extend Extra (PSP), and Meteos Disney Magic (DS). At some points in its existence, Disney Interactive Studios went by the name "Buena Vista Games".
