Frontier Announces LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias
Sequel to the Best-Selling, Award-Winning Game Coming to WiiWare
2nd September 2009, Cambridge, UK. Frontier today revealed LostWinds®:
Winter of the Melodias, the follow-up to last year’s best selling,
award-winning WiiWare™ launch title LostWinds. This all-new game is
packed with intuitive new gameplay mechanics and feels as fresh and
compelling as the original.
The power of the wind is once again in the palm of your hand as you
wield your Wii Remote™ to use the elemental powers of Enril the Wind
Spirit to protect and guide the young boy Toku - power his jumps and
glides, suspend and smash new enemies, and explore all-new expanses of
the stunningly presented, magical land of Mistralis as you experience
Toku and Enril’s new adventure to save Toku’s mother, lift an ancient
Curse and thwart the evil Balasar.
Players are able to instantly transform Mistralis between Summer and
Winter, harnessing the brilliance of nature: frozen Winter ponds and
waterfalls become deep, teeming Summer pools and chambers in which to
dive and unlock secrets, enemies can be frozen or doused, and the very
air itself used to form snowballs or moisture-laden clouds. Other
amazing new abilities include the cyclone, which can be used to
transport Toku, smash powerful enemies and even drill through the
rocks of the Mistralis’ diverse, richly interactive Chilling Peaks and
Melodia City areas.
“LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias will delight both new and returning
players.” said David Braben, Chairman and Founder of Frontier “Every
aspect has been extended and polished, and the major new gameplay
elements dovetail perfectly to give a fantastically rich, fun,
innovative experience.”
With production values to match the very best Nintendo Wii system disc
titles, LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias will be available to
download directly to the living rooms of millions of families in
Europe and The Americas exclusively via Nintendo’s WiiWare service.
Pricing and release date to be announced. WiiWare is accessible
through the Nintendo Wii system.
