For shame Wii Board. Lost Winds 2 is announced and the forum is still running.

- new game mechanic: switch seasons from Summer to Winter to solve puzzles
- Toku can now swim
- create cyclones that can drill through rocks and lift up water
- new map system
- new in-game hint system
- devs have heard the complaints of the first game being too short
- NPCs are now more interactive, and have more to say
- takes place directly after the first game
- Toku's mother has disappeared while exploring the ruins of a city created by the Melodia
- Toku and Enril follow clues left in a journal to save Toku's mother
- Summerfalls Village is experiencing a never-ending Winter
- people in the village are afraid of monsters that lurk in the snow
- Sonte (a spirit) allows Toku to control the seasons
- expect old and new gameplay elements
- Glorbs return from the first game, and have new forms
- create a cyclone by pressing buttons/shaking the Wiimote
- sales of LostWind were spot-on with what Frontier expected
- sequel development nearly complete

I'm hyped. Buy this people so I can have more Frontier goodness :D Also, for shame, the board has not crashed yet, I'm disappointed in all of you.

Nothing about length?

That was the biggest issue with the first one.

Well it says the devs have heard the concerns about it. Anyway, biggest issue with the first was glitches, (and length :P)

The last bit of info has me the most excited: It's almost here!! :D

I still havent played the first one...seems too short for 1000 points.

Changed your avatar already, I see. :P Also, I was thinking about posting this, but I figured that it was best left in someone else's hands. I was shocked that the Wii board didn't have this posted already.

Anyways, looking forward to it as much now as I did an hour ago. For 99% of you, that means I'm pretty excited about this game. :P

Yup, like my quote says, Lost Winds 2 announced, no need for anymore games to be made. Its over.

An I like both avatars, I wish I could have 2 lol. I also don't know why this wasn't posted yet but for shmae as I said. And yeah, you had better be excited lol.

And I also didn't mind the length at all for the type of game it is, but I can understand the complaints, especially concerning value.

The new stuff in the second game sounds great, and I trust the devs to make it good. Since they already have the basics in place from the first game, all of this time has been spent on improvements.

Well these are more things that certain people will miss and certain people will get screwed with. For one, you cannot sequence break in Lost Winds. If you do in a specific part (where you have to go to the cavern place but you can actually reach the falls) you will not be able to get the jumbrella cape and essentially you wasted your time. There is also glitches that get you caught between walls and shrubbery (had this happen twice luckily I hit a save point before both). Also, the boss battle has it so if you get hit, you cannot recover until you let it kill you. As such you cannot even jumpr for some reason. Yeah, the game has some glitches in it. I didn't mind the length myself but simple extras and lore would have been appreciated from me personally. The world is lush, I want to know more about it.

Nice, dude. I especially hope they really have heard our cries on the length of the first one, and are able to solve that issue with this promising sequel.

I'm excited that Lostwinds 2 has been unveiled. I recall the original being that only WiiWare game I had at the time...

Yup, awesome little title. Day one for me.

If they can make the game six hours or so, I will cry with joy. The game was so awesome but lengthwise it is hard to get people to justify throwing down 10 bucks for it.

that's great news. The first one wass amazing, and i can't wait for this one to come out

Yah, six hours of gameplay would justify the $10 price. Replayability is also something I hope they're incorporating, but anything more than the six hours of gameplay is just a bonus in my eyes.

I'll probably pick this one up.:D

I still havent played the first one...seems too short for 1000 points.

But there are other $10 games with much more content and gameplay, especially if you think of the VC in those terms, so that makes a difference.

My problem more is just that when I buy a disc game I expect certain things at a higher quality. Granted Lost Winds could pass for a retail wii game but other things I expect to be higher quality too. I don't really equate the $10 x 5to a full retail game at $50. Though it has to be realized that Wiiware is meant for smaller games. VC games were new at once and more expensive and aren't new anymore so that's generally why I don't compare.

I was more than ok paying $10 for an amazing 3 hour game considering many $50-$60 games last 5-8 hours.

Lost Winds, to me, is one of the best games this gen.

goblaa

I agree on the value that is why I never had a problem on spending 1000 points on the game. Still, it won't hurt if the sequel is a bigger game. :)

So long as they don't up the price more than a dollar or two, they can make it as long as they want. :D I'd never complain about games being longer.
