If you've played awesome WiiWare platformer LostWinds, you know it ends on a cliffhanger. Over a year has come and gone since the release of LostWinds and now, at long last, information regarding the promised sequel has hit the Internet.
The game will be called LostWinds: Winter of Melodias and you'll once again play as Toku. The big new feature is a mechanic that switches the game's seasons between summer and winter. Toku's also gained the ability to swim (why is this so hard for video game protagonists?) and his wind elemental has grown more powerful. Now you can use cyclones to suck up water and drill through rocks.
There's also some interface improvements coming to Winter of Melodias, including a hint system and an improved in-game map. Developer Frontier is promising a lot of other new stuff, too, and there's rampant speculation that the game will see release before the end of 2009, possibly this winter.
Complete details are available in the latest issue of Edge Magazine, which is unfortunately super-expensive and super-slow for US readers. Hopefully what you read here can tide you over until Nintendo Power or somebody else inevitably profiles Winter of Melodias, too.
