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."
CheatCC says: "The adventures of Toku and Enril continue in this second installment of the LostWinds series for WiiWare. Developer Frontier takes some of the basics from the first game to create a completely fresh experience Wii owners simply should not ignore."
