LostWinds sequel tomorrow on WiiWare

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. £7/€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. £3.50/€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. £4.50/€5).

Accompanying DQ Wars is Photo Clock, which displays pictures behind clock bits. Wow; 200 DSi Points (approx. £1.80/€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. £3.50/€5), the latter 800 Wii Points (approx. £5.60/€8).
