A warm reception for a cold game!
Highly-rated platformer goes to No.1 in both Europe and North America
Frontier's LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias has stormed to the top of the North American and European WiiWare charts.
This is hardly an unexpected achievement, when you consider how fantastic the game is. Our very own Marcel Van Duyn gave it a well-deserved 9/10 in his review.
Frontier’s founder and industry legend David Braben is obviously very happy with the news:
The hugely positive response there has been to Winter of the Melodias is really heart
warming, and the team really appreciate this as it justifies all the effort and
care they put into it.
Let's hope we'll be seeing more episodes in the LostWinds saga soon.

Y'know, I'm waiting for you to say something like "A well-deserved 4/10" in one of these articles...
Anyhow, I'll probably get this in the new year, once I've found the last idol in the first game... Great news to hear this take top place though.

It is a great game. How about an Autumn themed Lost Winds game

I'm glad to hear that.
Personally, I've supported Frontier by downloading each of the two LostWinds game available and I really enjoy playing both of them.

Yay.
Does this really deserve it's own news article? The charts come in in two days, we can just find out about it then!

That's good to hear, I want to pick this up, but I only have 100 points, and my whole next points card is already accounted for...
So it'll be a while.
