If you've heard anything about Nintendo's recent launch of WiiWare, then you've heard of LostWinds. Despite going head-to-head with a Final Fantasy game, Lost Winds has still managed to be the focus of nearly every gaming media outlet's coverage of Nintendo's new downloadable game service. Created by Frontier Developments, a low profile European developer, LostWinds could go on to be gaming's biggest Cinderella story of the year.
I recently had the opportunity to pick the brain of Frontier's Founder and Chairman, David Braben. Hit the jump for David's thoughts on game development, working on WiiWare, and what Frontier has in store for us next.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The official end of the WiiWare service may not be until early 2019 but we wanted to give everybody as much of a chance as possible to remember all of the great games that Nintendo’s first every download service brought us. Last week we counted down the first 10 games in our look at the Top 20 WiiWare games ever made, and if you haven’t had the chance yet you can check out those picks right here but now we switch our focus over to the very best that WiiWare has to offer so if you still have a Wii (or a Wii U) kicking around make sure to download these games before they are lost forever."
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "As I continue my quest to complete my backlog (last week I was in the trenches of World War II) I find myself returning to a console that is near and dear to my heart, the Wii, and it’s virtual games service WiiWare. And by back I mean way back as I decided to finally give a go at the WiiWare launch title LostWinds a go. "
Triverse writes, "Not very many returning games on the list this week which means there is nearly a full new set of games to peruse. iOS gamers enjoy the perks of getting games, that once cost money, for free while Android users are limited to still having to pay something for sales (we will have a fresh list tomorrow for both iOS and Android). For now, enjoy these great titles on your iOS device as we head into the Christmas season."
