Intelligent Qube On Its Way Back?
Maybe, maybe not, but food for thought.


By David Smith

The cult-favorite puzzle series Intelligent Qube may not be as dead as once expected. According to the latest survey of new Japanese trademark applications at Quiter, Sony Computer Entertainment has called dibs on the title I.Q. Mania, suggesting that it might have a new game or a compilation planned.

While it drew some loyal fans with its first installments on the PlayStation, the Qube series ostensibly ended with I.Q. Final, an early PlayStation 2 release that never made it to North America.

It's still a rather tenuous indicator, but SCE's trademark applications have proven unusually prescient before -- the publisher trademarked the title of Vib-Ripple just before its announcement.

Also of note in recent trademark applications is a new title grabbed by Namco, Crisis Way, which sounds like a new light-gun shooter.

If anything more substantive comes of these hints, of course, we'll be sure to pass the new on.

IQ PSP please. A DS Time Crisis could be fun too.

 

[Defensor]

Crisis Way = Crisis Zone II?

 

[Matlock]

PLEASE GOD LET INTELLIGENT QUBE 2 COME OUT

Or at least a re-release of the original.

Even better, a re-release of the demo, because that's all 99% of us played of it.

That news story had "I'm smart, reely!" written all over it.

Well, Katamari Damacy keeps telling me I'm smart, so who am I to gainsay it?

DFS.

Did Namco also publish that Hospital Crisis (IIRC) game?

And those DS jokes are going far too stale...

 

[WarPig]

Never heard of anything called Hospital Crisis, nope.

DFS.

YES

IQ PSP please

NO

Hah... but, nah, I'd have to pass on that; the demo didn't even have background music.

 

[Lambtron]

Fuck yes!
I still need to hunt down a copy of I.Q. Remix+ (which was the PS2 release, I.Q. Final was the I.Q. sequel for the PSOne).
