We've barely had the chance to fix our hair after downloading the first game, but Frontier Development is already working on a sequel to its WiiWare launch title LostWinds. Seriously, this has to be some kind of speed record or obsession over not letting the paint dry.
As expected, not much is known about the sequel, though a notice at the bottom of the company's website for the game teases that the follow up will include "new gameplay as Toku and Enril's incredible adventure to save Mistralis continues." The stylish platformer managed to impress us during our brief time with it in April, but for those of you who've downloaded and played the game, what's the verdict -- is a sequel warranted?

Heck yes a sequel is warranted!
I loved this game. It was so peaceful and relaxing. It made me feel good, for some reason. I'd love to see more of it.

Did you play thru it? From some of the comments it appears a bunch of people have finished it already, so I'm assuming it's pretty short?
I've seen a # of people comparing it to Kirby's Canvas Curse, which I thought was great, so I'll likely pick it up at some point.
Better use of Wii/360 points than the crappy movies I've rented on live lately. "Right at Your Door" was so, so horrible... And then I go ahead and got "Tooth and Nail", man I'm an idiot.

It's a 3 to 4 hour game for $10 dlls.
It's a pretty good deal: there are some $50 dlls. game with 10 hours of gameplay. Besides, this title is better in all ways than most of third party games: better graphics, gameplay, etc.

Oh, and yes, it plays a little bit like Kirby's Canvas Course or Yoshi Touch & Go, except that it feels a little more like an open world.

I'll be buying the 1st one once I get 100% in GTA IV either today or tomorrow.

While basically every disc-based title released for the system has been a let down (bar Zack & Wiki: The Quest For Barbaros' Treasure and the multiplayer element of Mario Kart Wii), I really love this game.
It would be nice if anyone who bought the first title got the second for less than $10 - or if they instead released the new content as DLC for the original game.

Noooooooooooooo Joystiq you spoiled it! Now we know you don't rescue whoever that is by the end of LostWinds.
As soon as I have money again, I'm getting this. Hell, Portal was only 3 hours long, and it was worth well over $10.
And come on, Sonic 2 is under 3 hours long, and I paid $35 back in the day.

I'm loving Lost Winds. Got stuck last night for a bit, had to take a different approach (not whacking all the bad guys right away...)
