LostWinds Coming to iOS, Which Is a Very Good Thing

You didn't play it on WiiWare, but you should play it on your iPhone.

There was just something gentle and calming about playing with the air in LostWinds.

I won't hold it against you if you haven't played Frontier Development's excellent LostWinds series--it was released on WiiWare, after all. I've been waiting for Frontier Development to bring LostWinds elsewhere, and according to Eurogamer, that's happening on the iPhone and iPad.

It looks like both LostWinds and LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias are coming to start off, with the potential for additional installments down the line. Whatever gets me more LostWinds, I'm game.

It also appears the games will be coming to Android, as well.

The original LostWinds was one of the first great games released for Nintendo's underappreciated service. On the Wii, the remote manipulated the wind and propelled objects and your character around the environment, leading to some clever puzzles.

The official announcement hasn't come down the pike yet, so while using our minds to imagine how the motion controls translate to touch (it's pretty easy to figure out, actually), we'll have to wait for Frontier Development to release details.
