Platformer Update

Peaceful music, check. Charming graphics, check. Throwing little blob enemies sky high with the power of wind, check. This new trailer helps show us more of the platforming goodness this title has to offer, such as how you make loops of wind to propel our little hero up to other ledges. The trailer also shows off how the “combat” will work in the game which seems like it slows down time a bit to allow you to manipulate your surrounding obstacles.

LostWinds keeps shaping up to be what looks like to be one of the best platformers coming this year….well we can hope. While Wikipedia has the game listed as launching on May 12th, the official website still says TBA. Nintendo now plans to keep the launch list of WiiWare titles secret until the launch of the service itself (with the exception of some titles like Toki Tori which was already confirmed for May 12th), we can hope LostWinds makes it’s way to our Wii’s next week.
