Gameplay footage

You control the little dude by drawing gusts of wind that blow him around the screen

[Warbie]

Thanks for pointing that out - I never would have realised

Can a kind mod move this pls.

 

[Rapstah]

Looks sort of like Rayman 3.

 

[StardogChampion]

How much will it cost?

 

[Direwolf]

Saw this a while back on the 1UP Show. Looked promising.

Looks great. Reminds me a little of Klonoa. I just love 2.5D games. I love the old-school. Thank goodness for Bionic Commando Rearmed and Commando 3 and the new Gauntlet. Can't wait for more of this retro goodness!!

 

[Warbie]

I forgot about the new Bionic Commando

If you look about half way through the Lost Winds footage you can see the guy picking up some water with a loop of the wiimote. Apparently this is just something else in the game that you can affect with you gusts of wind. I remember in one preview - I think in Edge a few months back - they mentioned you could use water in this way to fertilise a seed, which would then grow into a bridge to let you pass over a big drop.

So far this looks like a cross between Yoshi's Touch & Go and Kirby Canvas Curse - platform meets puzzle em up - whch means i'll be all over it

Me too. I love Zack & Wiki for the same reasons (and many more ).

Looks pretty cool. I'm really interested to see what kinds of other stuff makes it to WiiWare. I really like that Nintendo is completely hands-off in the process except suggesting a price.

WiiWare, No More Heroes, Mario Kart and Brawl are the only things stopping me from sticking the Wii into a box and shoving it up into the attic at the moment. It's just gathering dust.

Biggest disappointment from Nintendo in years.



Wow. That was a bold statement. I must be tired...

I'm a little concerned about Mario Kart Wii now more gameplay footage has come out - look how wide the courses are! It looks like the empahsis has finally completed the shift from tight racing to party gaming power up lottery.

I think there is a lot more relying on power ups than before, places shift much quicker than they used to (If I'm remembering correctly).

The tracks are pretty darn wide but then they have to accommodate possibly 12 players at that point at the same time. There's still tight spots occasionally, the bridge on one of the old DK maps, some parts of Delfino Square are still thin-ish.

I just can't belive this thread hasn't been moved yet.

 

[Warbie]

Just can't get good mods these days

 

[Ennui]

Hey, fine, you want me to move it back?

This game looks cool; another on the mounting list of reasons why I need to get a Wii soon.

 

[Warbie]

Heat

Up and Up

Plant

Dumb Spider

These games handle well on DS. i'm curious to see if the gameplay holds up or if it's better(or worse) on a Wiimote

 

[Polaris]

New footage.

Game looks absolutely gorgeous and so cute. I'm not fan of games for kids or Wii but this one made me happy.
Graphics and design are amazing, and 2.5D system with current graphics is really nice and it should be used more in games.

 

[theotherguy]

Meh. Looks lame. I hate gesture-based controls.

 

[VictimOfScience]

sea: your post has made me want this game NOW. It is my birthday tomorrow so I am going to get me some Wii points and treat myself to this. Thanks for the details!! :cheers:

 

[Gorgon]

I already finished the game, to sum it up in three words:

1-Cute
2-Smart
3-Very relaxing game love the sound!!!

Why is that?

 

[Combine Hybrid]

Looks meh...

 

[Gorgon]

Why is that?

You can't simply make a quick full wind power around the stone, it took me 12mins to figure it out.

This is a lovely game
