spirited away Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Have you SEEN the amount of shit Gameloft are bringing to Japan, and eventually the US and Europe? Mobile phone ports with no major additions or changes. http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&STORY=/www/story/03-27-2008/0004781496&EDATE= With games set to launch in Europe, Unites States and Japan, Gameloft is planning a diverse line-up that consists of Block Breaker Deluxe, Midnight Pool, Midnight Bowling and TV Show King. Each game will either be completely original to WiiWare or vastly enhanced and redone for the platform. Not too bad, and to me they're not well known franchises.
spirited away Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Ok, seriously, what's wrong with Dr.Mario? I've heard the WiiWare version is a rip-off price for two bad puzzlers.
Maiky-NiSuTe Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 i downloaded it and.... its really good!! i love it!!
Hero-of-Time Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 It seems that the game can be beaten in 2 and a half hours, 1 guy finished it fully in just under 2 hours! Its supposed to be great though so I will still give it a shot.

Its supposed to be great though so I will still give it a shot. Yeah...thats ashame...but i'll be buying this and Final Fantasy (i think) on WiiWare launch day! Now gotta get me some points!
Maiky-NiSuTe Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 its realy fun to do and 2 and a half hours ok maby but up to now i already have 4 hours in it. so it all depends on how you play it (or he is talking bulls**t)

flameboy Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Well 2 hours is pretty good and the possibilitly of some DLC levels is pretty high I reckon!
ShadowV7 Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Nah, from what i've played it's pretty short. When I went back to play this earlier, there was icons for wind powers you could use, I had about 3 of them and that was almost half the amount of icons there, and I played that for 58 minutes.
Tellyn Posted May 13, 2008 Author Posted May 13, 2008 A sequel has been announced by Frontier, it appears that they plan to turn Lost Winds into a series. Fantastic news. Where/how did you play it Shadow? And I remember in a developer interview that Frontier said that Lost Winds is a short game if you purposely rush through it. But if you soak everything in and do everything that there is to do, it'll last you a lot longer.
flameboy Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Can't wait for this looks so sweet...could Wiiware finally drag me away from GTA?
ShadowV7 Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 If you don't go through the main game and explore everywhere, it'll last longer by collecting items. I'm all for a sequel. How did I play it? Mwahahaha, it's a secret. All thanks to a friend that couldn't be bothered waiting for games to be released here, so got a US Wii instead.
flameboy Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Just watched this movie...it looks so awesome...have just gotta get this some really innovative and clever puzzles. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33850.html
ShadowV7 Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 The controls, mechanics and the puzzles are really done well. It's definently one to download when it's launched. It takes in a lot of detail and the effects the wind has is great.
Maiky-NiSuTe Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 well im still trying to find every thing (i am 4 hours now) it is still very amusing so no bad review from me and a followup? nice ill be the first to buy it!
Gizmo Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 What is it that makes this game fun? From the gameplay videos I've seen it's all basic platforming without any holes to fall into with some very simple Fire/Water puzzles, and the wiimote jumping looks awkward.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Eurogamer gave this 9/10 Great score! Its getting high scores left right and centre. Despite its short play time im really looking forward to it.
scubahood Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Got hold of this one yesturday did the first level which was pretty much a tutorial but i'm very impressed the whole wii mote jumping adds a nice little twist to platforming. So far i'm very impressed with Wiiware
Maiky-NiSuTe Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 this game is great nice and simple story, good level design, new way of playing (you have to blow your main character all over the place) the visuals are a lust for your eyes (although you can see the lack of good textures. but all in all its good enough) the atmosphere is awesome and gives you a great feeling true out the game, the whole 2.5D fits the game really good although sometimes you would love to explore what is behind or within a home, rock or bush. i would give this game a 91% score! based on these findings
Tales Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I have feeling this games gets praised because it's different, not because it's good. Probably won't buy it at launch, maybe not all, but maybe I will, I don't know yet.
