日常生活

I haven't touched the Wii much lately, dunno why. Console games aren't as fun when played alone, I suppose. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to Mega Man 9, which are to be released as Wiiware, meaning you pay a few quid and download it straight to the Wii. In other words, no huge arse games. Mega Man 9 will feature graphics and sound resembling the games released on the Nes. But I'm rambling..

I decided to have a look around the Wiiware shop, just to get a feel for what they're currently offering, and found a platformer that looked promising -- LostWinds. This won't be a proper review, I've only just tried the game for 10 minutes...

Once you start the game and decide which save-file to play you're immediately thrown into the game. Litteraly. You play as a little fella called Toku, and after a little stroll in the woods, the ground crumbles and he falls into a cave. While trying to get out he encounters the wind spirit, Enril, who lends the power of Gust, a power that will Toku fly to platforms that are otherwise out of reach. Using Gust you can also interact with various objects, such as fruit and torches. Also, just about anything will blow around a bit if you move the cursor over it, the wind blowing through bushes makes a pretty realistic sound.

The graphics are really cute with warm colours and controlling Toku is heaps of fun. I'll sit down at some stage and play through LostWinds and write a perhaps more proper review (or edit this one, who knows)...
