Lost Winds was great.
Hopefully a sequel will be equally impressive, and a little longer. :)

That's for sure. The game is awesome, is what I'm told, but the Replay Value could've been improved. Hopefully this one will be the one to do it! It's too bad that the brevity of the game is what is pulling me a bit away from buying it but rest assured, I really want to give it a try. :)

I'm definitely keeping my eye on this one. :D

i hope this game is longer and harder than the 1st 1 but, i think it will be as good as the 1st which is very good

The only thing that kept me from buying Lost Winds is the length of the game. I hope the sequel is more Lengthy.

The first one's great. Hopefully the sequal will be longer.

kl, LostWinds is great. If they both sell well I reckon Frontier will make a whole series of them (5-10 WiiWare games over about 2 years)

Make this one longer and/or cheaper, Frontier!

11. Twilight United States 30 May 2008, 19:51 GMT

this one should be longer. the first only took 3 hours(literally). and it was easy

12. Decus Q United States 03 Jun 2008, 07:47 GMT

the first one was a great template, now they need to build on top of that to create an ongoing game of greatness.

Now that Ihave the first one, I will buy this if: I HAVE ROOM, NINTY, if it is longer and/or cheaper, and if it is not more of the same gameplay. If its exactly the same, then I'll replay #1. :P

I agree with some of you above. The game should be longer, but cheaper? That makes no since, don't you think?

16. Objection_Blaster United States 19 Jun 2008, 14:00 GMT

@retroware
We're saying one or the other. #1 was good but only 3 hours long for 1000. So make #2 like 5 hours or make it 500-800.

17. mr.niceguy United States 20 Jun 2008, 05:04 GMT

Am I the only one who took like, 6 hours to beat the first game?! I mean sure, I only played it like, once or twice a week, but still.

I just want some new locales, new powers, maybe some more boss, you know, the usual sequel stuff. A cheaper price might sweeten the deal, though.

@mrniceguy
Yeah, I think so. I dragged it out over a weak to savor it, and my game time was still only about 3.5 hours. Episodic is fine, just needs to be a bit longer or a bit cheaper.

19. mr.niceguy United States 22 Jun 2008, 01:40 GMT

Yah, I got lost a lot(east is not left), tried to do things too early(turns out you can't bend fire with gust), and just plain obsessed with things(what is the point of these windmills!!). So, while the ending did feel abrupt, by the end, I just wanted to be done with it all.

I hope the new one doesn't come out any time soon, because honestly, erasing Lostwinds 1 freed up a ton of memory. Seriously, I had room for maybe one more Wiiware game(reserved for Gyrostarr, obviously), and now I can fit 3 easy. If Lostwinds 2 is longer than the original, I won't have room for nothin', and I was being careful too(only 5 NES, 1 SNES, 1 N64)!

I'll maybe buy this if it's at least 5 hours long

21. Virus United States 24 Jun 2008, 02:57 GMT

Yep, I agree with all you people. If the game at least doubles its original length, I'll look into it. As for other things I wish to see:
1. A more diverse soundtrack
2. More dangerous enemies and boss fights (seriously, except for falling and hitting myself with a rock, I lost no damage)
3. A reward for collecting all those stupid relics (waste of my time)
4. More items (obviously)
5. Significance with messing around with things (if I move a tree or a windmill in the background, let it have a purpose)
The latter two are just nit-picking, but I'd still like to see these things. This game could be a very influential series if it actually improves greatly each game.

22. strade32 United States 24 Jun 2008, 03:13 GMT

it needs to be longer. personally, the gameplay was fun(except for at first) and i happen to like the soundtrack(ahem...virus). but if it is not longer, i don't know if it is worth it.

Avatar

23. Virus United States 24 Jun 2008, 03:20 GMT

Heh, I knew I'd be contradicted for the soundtrack, so why didn't I explain myself? I found the music okay, but I wanted a few more tunes. Yes, the music added to the mood, you could say, but Metroid's music did the same stuff but had more variety. But heck, it's an opinion, and if anything, music is as subjective as it gets.

24. strade32 United States 24 Jun 2008, 03:24 GMT

i can see that.

25. Objection_Blaster United States 24 Jun 2008, 03:57 GMT

@virus good points...i liked the soundtrack too, its just too quiet for most of the game...and about the "let the wind have a point" i agree. too many of the puzzles had to do with switches or burning/watering/planting things. We want variety!

Will this be like the FFCC My life as a king add ons or just a sequel?

27. supermario2 United Kingdom 06 Jul 2008, 21:13 GMT

I heard that u might have to collect the other elemental spirits and use: wind, fire, water, and earth but not through wind but actual fire water and earth but still it is only rumour problem is I can't remember where I heard it???

28. supermario2 United Kingdom 06 Jul 2008, 21:23 GMT

Hey I'm back and more info you'll have to switch between elements and is for 4 players so 1 controls wind, 2 controls fire, 3 controls water and 4 controls earth and u can all switch between ur powers but unfortunately it's just the 1 character but 4 cursors and we might even have to go up against the big bad guy (I just have to remember the name) anyway Chow!

By the way who's downloaded MLAAK chancellors new outfit 2 HUBBA HUBBA!!!!!

@supermario2 interesting info, if it is accurate...

31. Thomas United States 11 Jul 2008, 04:24 GMT

I took a week to beat the first one, but like a lot of people, I stretched it out over forty-five minute sessions. Looking forward to the sequel.

32. supermario2 United Kingdom 11 Jul 2008, 18:54 GMT

HI sorry about the info it was just these internet nerds who made rumours about the whole thing a bit like the excite truck 2 rumour sorry about that and your hopes being so high and then just being crashed down unfortunately the website has got rid of all traces of the rumour. Sorry about that.

33. supermario2 United Kingdom 11 Jul 2008, 18:57 GMT

Sorry but after that interesting rumour I got so enraged that I deleted it of my favourites I'm so sorry about the whole thing but I think we should only believe the information from the creators than these nerds.

the first game took me 2 and a half hours so if lostwinds 2 is longer ill get it no dougt

35. Gloves United Kingdom 15 Jul 2008, 17:00 GMT

Lostwinds was great, but too short. I hope that games of this quality aren't impossible to produce on wiiware without a stepdown in longetivity. Also, am I missing something, or does the promise of exclusive information on lostwinds 2 on the official website mean nothing? I still haven't gotten any mail from them about it. Maybe it was just a way of finding out how many people were interested in a sequel.

36. supermario2 United Kingdom 17 Jul 2008, 12:12 GMT

I heard that the sequel might be at a higher price due to its popularity so it might not be very cheap still I'll download, no matter what the pricing is. I also heard that it might be released this autumn-spring 2009

Cite your source, please. I wanna know as much as I can about this, having gone through LW #1 three times now.

Hopefully it'll be much, much longer than the first game, but just as good. :)

@ Objection_Blaster
Sorry about not citing the source anyway I think it was wikipedia or in the search bar type lost wind 2 rumours actually come to think of it might be at wii world not wiiware world just wii world u find a whols load of gaming rumours there.

I'll stick with supporting a Toki Tori sequel right now and bring it to the Top 20. Lostwind 2 would be too easy. I want a challenge.
