Plus: Dragon Quest Wars! Final Fight 2!

Nintendo will add Frontier's LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias to WiiWare tomorrow. The sequel will cost 1000 Wii Points (approx. Ł7/€10).

LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias returns with the same cartoon platform charm, but adds changeable seasons, swimming and cyclone powers to the mix. "This is nothing if not a safe bet," concluded Eurogamer's Oli Welsh, rounding-up the imminent WiiWare hopefuls.

Also out tomorrow on WiiWare will be Happy Holidays Halloween, a themed card-making, er, game that costs 500 Wii Points (approx. Ł3.50/€5).

More exciting is DSiWare game Dragon Quest Wars: a turn-based multiplayer take on the Dragon Quest series. This costs 500 DSi Points (approx. Ł4.50/€5).

Accompanying DQ Wars is Photo Clock, which displays pictures behind clock bits. Wow; 200 DSi Points (approx. Ł1.80/€2).

Nintendo has two more for Virtual Console in the shape of Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap and Final Fight 2 - a series that belies its name. The former costs 500 Wii Points (approx. Ł3.50/€5), the latter 800 Wii Points (approx. Ł5.60/€8).

Reviews would indeed be good. Proper coverage of downloadable titles on consoles is the one section where EG is lacking imo.

In other news: Dragon's Trap is ace.

"Review it then"

They haven't even reviewed Nintendos "You, Me and the Cubes" yet..and that came out two weeks ago.

I think Wonder Boy 3 is the same as the Dragon's Curse already on the Wii Shop Channel so there ain't much point buying it if you already have that.

"finally gonna turn my wii on for the first time this year"

For shame.

You didn't buy NyxQuest then? it's like Lost winds with more fighting and wings.

I'm glad I have a lot of Wii points stacked up, since I found Wii Points cards in a bargain bin (I'm always smiling when I see things like that in bargain bins... "hey, buy $20 for $5.".

Well I found LostWinds to be a great game for the first ten minutes, and a terrible borefest after that. The backtracking never stops and the same music loop started grating so bad I actually muted the game. If this is more of the same, I'll pass.

I need to see some reviews before I get this, simply because I too found the first game a little dull after I got lost without a map.

The new LostWinds has a map, so hopefully getting lost won't be a problem
