Dean from Wedotech.net writes; "Lost Winds 2 was a game that I was curious about for a little while, I had no idea that the first game existed, and I barely ever play on my Wii. So when I heard that this was coming out I went onto the Wii shop channel, had to update my console, had to reset my console because the update wasn't working, had to update the console again, then finally download Lost Winds 2..."
Discless takes a look at the best that Wiiware has to offer.
Square Enix will publish Frontier's acclaimed WiiWare title LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias in Japan and Asia this month, the companies announced today.
Square Enix also published the breezy predecessor, original LostWinds, in Japan last year. "We're very pleased to be joining forces again with Square Enix to bring the sequel to gamers in Japan and Asia," says Frontier founder and chairman David Braben.

"Sifting through WiiWare for the gold nuggets amongst the chaff is a tricky business.
In fact, trawling through full-priced Wii titles for those same gold nuggets is equally time consuming and seemingly random but when Frontier Developments announced a follow-up for the sublime Lost Winds, I sat up and took notice.
Lost Winds 1 is sublime, a title good enough to be boxed up and sold at full price, trouncing most of the horrific dross developers were shovelling out as "games" on the platform back in 2008. In 2009 Lost Winds: Winter of the Melodias once again shows what a developer with serious pedigree can do even on a supposedly low-end piece of kit like the Wii."
Wow, what? This guy's complaints are so stupid. He must have no motor skills at all. I never had trouble with controls in the first Lost Winds. The guy just sounds like he sucks at the vidya.
