LostWinds was only released in the US yesterday, but if Frontier's website is to be believed, a sequel is already coming!
On Frontier's page for the game, scroll to the very bottom to find this:

Frontier hasn't mentioned anything else about a sequel, which seems kind of weird to us. Still, the first game is getting very positive opinions from people, so making a sequel certainly gets no complaints from us!
We also have to take this opportunity to gloat over the fact that sister site VC-Reviews is quoted in the "gaming media reaction" section. This is a first!

Wait, what? A sequel, already? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Anyhoo, gratz on your quote.
It must have been the best seller on Monday.
When I looked, it was second best, next to FF:CC:MLAAK. I'll be getting this!
IGN raves about this game and says its better than most $49.99 games. Thats impressive
Definitely sequel-worthy. This may be too high a hope, but I will cross my fingers for a lower price point considering the short length and lack of replay.
Well thats cool that the game is getting a sequel. I just hope that it would be as good as the first game.
I knew this would happen, and I will welcome a sequel.
I just heard about this this morning. I welcome the sequel also. I think they should improve the Replay Value greatly (that being said, I've never tried the original but I want to. The lack of sustainable Replay Value is a put-off for me, not to mention the brevity of it but I heard that it IS really good).
And yeah, it was a best-seller. It was in the Popular Titles along with FFCC: MLK and DYC. Both of which I expected to appear in the list.
Haha... this is actually kind of weird. But good, I suppose. I'm really liking the first one so far.
I'm not gonna register, though, since I know you Wiiware World guys will and post the info.
Wow. These developers (in a video on GameTrailers) complained about people who did stuff in episodic content, and now they're doing the same thing. Games look great but talk about pulling a 180.
@Objection_Blaster
Since when has a sequel been regarded as episodic content exactly?
Hm...
Well arguably you could look at Strong Bad's game but arguably that's not considered a "sequel" either.
But Charco, I guess it seems that since the developers seem so keen on doing a sequel almost right after it's launch, it seems as though LostWinds may become an episodic seris in a way but I think that may be a bit of a stretch although I see where OB's coming from.
Lostwinds 2 could potentially be more than year away from release, so it's hardly episodic.
I can't wait, if it is as good as the first it should be a great game.
well that was quick, Hopefully they make it play just like the first one but with some new updates.
i downloaded the first one, but havent played too much of it... i'm sure it will be a while before the sequel is released anyways.
This sequel to Lostwinds might not be a WiiWare sequel,but a retail sequel for the Wii.
5 days left, than the wiiware will be launch here in europe. YEAAHH. I defently gonna get this game
