Square Enix Publishing Frontier's Lost Winds 2 In Japan

Square Enix will publish Frontier's acclaimed WiiWare title LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias in Japan and Asia this month, the companies announced today. Square Enix also published the breezy predecessor, original LostWinds, in Japan last year. "We’re very pleased to be joining forces again with Square Enix to bring the sequel to gamers in Japan and Asia," says Frontier founder and chairman David Braben. LostWinds 2 again features protagonist Toku, and players use the Wii remote to create breezes that help navigate puzzles in the environment. The highly-rated title was IGN.com's "Best WiiWare game of 2009." "We’re excited to see gamers’ reaction to the incredible new gameplay mechanics such as Season Switching, the all-new, expansive, beautiful settings and the story of Toku and Enril the Wind Spirit’s and adventure to save Toku’s mother," says Braben.
