LostWinds

LostWinds™ is an enchanting adventure bursting with new gameplay ideas that embrace the innovative controller of the Wii™ - it puts “the power of the wind in the palm of your hand”.

You wield the awesome powers of Enril the wind spirit - from raging tornados to the gentlest breeze – to guide and protect Toku, a young boy who is the only one who can help you release the curse placed upon the world of Mistralis by evil Balasar. Mistralis is a stunningly presented, magical land full of wonder and intrigue that bursts to life with your every action and exploration.  History of Mistralis.

The game’s novel, playful control mechanism lets you use Enril’s elemental powers to help Toku in your quest to overcome Balasar – powering his jumps and glides through Mistralis’ different regions, buffeting and smashing enemies, and solving puzzles.

The gaming media have had a hands on preview of LostWinds at Nintendo of America's Media Summit in mid-April, and reaction has been phenomenal:

“LostWinds is innovative, especially easy on the eyes and the clear product of high production values, making it one of the most highly anticipated titles to appear on Nintendo's system, regardless of how it's being delivered.” "The WiiWare game you should be excited about.”Kotaku.com

“Wii owners are going to be impressed …” "..better than all the Japanese WiiWare launch titles put together." "proves right out of the gate that WiiWare projects can play, look and sound just as good -- better, in fact -- than some major retail Wii efforts." ign.com

“..groundbreaking …puts full retail releases to shame.” vc-reviews.com

“As if the gameplay wasn’t enough to have you drooling at the mouth, the rest of the game will push you over the edge.” “LostWinds is fantastic in every sense of the word.” “..the premiere title to grab on WiiWare.” Gonintendo.com
