Frontier hints once again at LostWinds sequel, future WiiWare projects
June 7th, 2008 by SuperMario290
N-Europe had an interesting interview with Lost Frontier, the developer of LostWinds for Nintendo’s WiiWare Channel. They talked about the future of WiiWare and their future projects for this new Wii Channel. They’re still acting pretty mysterious about their future projects, but we know there’s more WiiWare-stuff coming!
Q: The internet exploded with excitement recently when a sequel to LostWinds was announced on your website. Will this be released on WiiWare? If so, when, and can you reveal any snippets of information about it?
A: Reaction has been so phenomenal to the game, and there is so much more we want to tell about the world, that we’d be crazy not to consider a sequel. And that’s all we’ll say for the moment.
Q: Do you have any other WiiWare titles in the works?
A: Now is probably not the time or place to discuss this…
Q: Is the downloadable scene the way forward for Frontier?
A: Commercially we think online distribution will become significant for games generally, as it has for music and is becoming for video.
So we do see LostWinds as a trailblazer of a possible future for us. We don’t view the distribution mechanism as defining the effort we put into or quality that we deliver in any game, and in LostWinds Frontier has delivered the highest quality Wii–specific game we can. We view LostWinds as potentially very significant because we’ve done that all by ourselves – it continues to be a very useful learning experience.
