Frontier confirms LostWinds sequel News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Wii

Switch seasons! Swim! Use cyclones!

Frontier has finally let the cat of the bag and revealed a sequel to LostWinds, subtitled Winter of the Melodias.

New features in the WiiWare follow-up include Toku's ability to instantly switch seasons from summer to winter - a bit like England. He can also control mighty tornadoes that smash through rocks or suck water through their spouts, and has learned to swim.

In addition, Frontier has thrown in a new in-game map and hint system, according to N-Europe's summary of Edge's reveal.

There's no date for Winter of Melodias, but Frontier apparently has "a ton" of new ideas still to ram in.

Word of a sequel spilled before the original LostWinds was even released, back in May last year - although Frontier dodged the bullet that time.

LostWinds was a shining example of what can be achieved on WiiWare, combining a full and vibrant platform game with a clever wind-drawing mechanic.

Our LostWinds review can tell you much more.

You mean the sequel I was reading all about over six pages last week in the latest Edge magazine? That was the feature cover for subscribers? Bit slow, EG.

Was I the only one extremely underwhelmed by Lost Winds? It was mildly diverting but the "innovation" just seemed like a slightly modified version of one of the paintbrush techniques in Okami, and it was extremely short.

Lullz.
But yeah, I loved the first game. It's one of the only games I can call "charming" without sounding gay. That sounded straight right? Right?!

I thought the first game was ok but not brillant.

I didn't mind it being short, I've so many games to play on Wii, PS3 and 360 that I find it a struggle to finish any of them.

Glad to hear about the map though, the game needed one!

I really really really wish you could download demos of WiiWare games. This is one game I sailed so close to the wind (heh-heh!) in buying outright based on the reviews alone, even though it didn't sound like my cup of tea.
