Frontier Preparing to Blow You Away With More LostWinds

@Tagline

Oh boy, here we go...

Actually, that applies to the topic, too. No matter what they do, nothing will get me to waste more of my money on these bit-sized snacks they call games.

Very, very good news.

Might try this game out. Should have gotten a demo on Wiiware.

The second improved on the first one so hopefully we get that trend going.

My biggest complaint though was that it seemed the only enemies you encounter 99 percent of the time were those ridiculously easy blob things. I really like the part on Winter of the Melodias where that centipede creature popped up and tried to eat you appeared, I thought we'd see more of them but unfortunately that was the only one. Weird.

Bring it!

My housemates used to fall asleep to the soothing music of the first game. The second had some more interesting puzzles and characters.

Yeah, I'm definitely getting any more they make.

I kind of liked the second. Wouldn't be interested in a third one until I beat it, though.

Bring it on! Love this series

I like this news since these are some of my favorite Wiiware titles.

I know at least 5 people who want another LostWinds. The first one was good, but too short. Winter of the Melodias was amazing. One of the best WiiWare games. Much better than the first LostWinds.

As long as the third game is as good as the second one I'll get it. I just wish there was more action / more enemies and a bigger world. And maybe some 2player-co-op sidekick to have double wind power to solve new puzzles etc.

Loved both LostWinds. I really hope the next games in the series is bound for Wii, DS or 3DS. It would be sad if Microsoft bribes Frontier to go Xbox exclusive...

if we get a demo of the game(the first Lost winds) well purchase it,aktually i only buy vcgames on wii because i dont know what is crap and what is good.

If FRONTIER goes Xbox exclusive they should at least bring LostWinds' main story (that evil Balasar) to an end on WiiWare. Otherwise this series' story would be an unfinished failure.

I really want this series to last longer / to be bigger, but if they go Xbox exclusive at least it's good to know there's at least one more (final?) chapter coming to WiiWare.

I fear it shares a destiny like... umm... Neutopia: At the end of Neutopia 2 it says "To be continued..." but there never was a Neutopia 3. These kinds of things suck imo!

And yes, FRONTIER should also bring a new Elite game to WiiWare.

yay!! Also I'd rather just see a retail release for the next game. Make it 2 to 3 times the size of LW2 add in more replay value and unlockables and sell it for like $20-$30.

The first one bored the arse off me. And I love 2D platformers too

I haven't beaten the first one and have barely played the second. I remember liking them but I stopped playing after not very long for some reason. Perhaps I should go back to them?

I liked both LW and LW2. Sure, they were short but they were still a good deal at 1000 points. Too many games go for length and wind up annoying or boring in the last hours anyway. Short and sweet is so much better then long and boring. Also, based on 1 and 2's dev cycle, I'm estimating March 2011 at the earliest for LW3. We'll see, though.

Yay, I loved the first two. Absolutely beautiful games.

Wish Frontier the best of luck with Kinectimals too!

The problem is that they didn't specify where we'd see it. I just hope that LostWinds 3 doesn't forget about the major plot that 1 had. 2 sort of lost its urgency that the ending of 1 seemed to portray.

Lostwinds 3DS would be awesome.

I hope they continue the story of LostWinds, I wanna defeat that evil guy! (Whatever his name was... ) Truly amazing games & I cannot wait until a new one comes out, hopefully on WiiWare

I'm definitely up for a new lost winds. The first one was a breathe of fresh air, though it was short and lacking. But the second one was much more story heavy, and the season swap was ingenious.

I own the first one, and have yet to beat it. Not sure why, I mean its a decent game, but I just got bored. If I beat it, I may check out the 2nd, and who knows, maybe actually get excited for a third.

I'll pass. I played the first one but didn't bother with the 2nd one.

I still didnt get the winter one but I probably wont one day

Maybe well get part 3 before June 2011 is over.

I always tough those games should have been release on Ds or DSiware. This would be so good with the touch control. Anyway, I hope they release something on 3ds.

@killer6370 That's what this website is for.

Anyway, I'm still not interested until we can control the character directly. Indirect control schemes stink.

btw @tagline who do you think you are? Doctor Hubert Fonsworth?

Yay for Threequels!

Lostwinds 1 was pretty good, and LostWinds 2 was even better, especially since it had unlockables. I just hope they add more enemies and boss fights this time. Also, A bigger overworld would be nice.

Um, is that David Braben as in Elite? No wonder they were good.

Yes, it's the same David Braben who created Elite and Frontier. The LostWinds games are the best things he's done since, so far as I'm concerned.

Still need to get the second game, but if 2 is any better than 1, I will look forward to 3, and long as 3 is better than 2.

@30 and 31: Braben didn't actually have much input into these games, I think. They were invented and directed by some other guy in the company. Brabel is a legend, though, I agree.

pass, cant be bothered with those games.

@32 Agreed, I played 2 and it was better than 1. New enemies and wind manipulation tools.

I've never played Lost Winds one or two because I'm more of the handheld type of person. I hope that this new Lost Winds project of which they are working on will be a Nintendo 3DS title because if it is I'm sure to purchased it. I might buy the Wii Lost Winds games at some point in the near future.

#2 @Cipher second that, ya baby. woo
-36 posts in under 16 hours, thats a start.

Yay!!

The return of WIiWare's best non retro series!!!!

More replayabilty this time please!

@TokyoRed I'am just hopeing for One gift this Christmas or in the new year that BigN updates there wiishopchannel to a NintendoShop Channel. so that whether I'am on a DSi Wii or 3DS I can log on to same account where the VC games, DSiWare & 3DSware are sheared and still get club points with my purchase.
Ya.

@Bulbasaurus Rex Yes i know,thats why am here,but i need some more stuff in motion to make my own opinion about the game

I've got the first one and I think it's overrated. It is definetley not one of the best games on wiiware. I would give it a 7/10 but I've heard that the sequel is a lot better so I still might get the sequel.

Just add that there will be more games in this series on the Wii and I will be very happy.

I really enjoyed the first, loved the second one. They rank up there with World of Goo as my favorites on WiiWare.

dang to bad i never played the first one. but yea if there is a demo i like to try.

I had no idea that Microsoft tapped these guys to do Kinectimals. I could've sworn that was a Rare game - it looks like a heavily modified version of Viva Pinata -, but I'm intrigued by it now that I know "Team LostWinds" put it together. I'm totally up for additional Lostwinds games:D

Though I'll admit, I'd dig a few ports of Lostwinds to the other systems, just to increase the audience for those titles. Being able to manipulate the wind god with your hand on Kinect, while using a traditional controller to control whats-his-face(the main character) sounds like it'd be really cool.

Didn't enjoy the first on too much, but the second one was awesome.

Two of my favourite games on WiiWare. I would definitely get this game if it kept the same simple charm the other two had.

Beautiful games! Really looking forward to Part 3!
