So as most of you know by now Nintendo’s WiiWare officially launched today, and with it a plethora (well, maybe not a plethora) of new and unique games for everyone to download and enjoy (and pay for)..BUT ENJOY!!
I decided to go against the grain and opt out for the Final Fantasy game for now; instead I put my money behind the little guys over at Frontier Games.
So far my initial impressions are AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC! Lost Winds brings something to gaming that seems to have been lost, fun. Playing Lost Winds is like playing an old platformer on the NES/SNES, you know, once you start you can’t / don’t want to stop.
The story is about a little kid named Toku and his little Wind Spirit named Enril. I won’t give too much of the story away (Ok none of the story) because I don’t want to ruin the experience for anyone.
The controls are very tight and the animation is fluid. The game play is relaxed but fun, very addictive. You can easily jump from ledge to ledge with just a flick of the wrist.
So far I’ve made it to the third save point and collected four bags of gold; yes…you collect bags of GOLD!!
Sorry about the screenshots but I didn’t want to keep regurgitating the same one’s that have been around for a while now.
I’ll throw another post up once I’m further along. If you haven’t made a solid decision on what game to buy yet then you just may owe it to yourself to give Lost Winds a try.
