Frontier pleased with "exceptional" LostWinds success

On the day that Nintendo's WiiWare service launches across Europe, developer of LostWinds David Braben has told GamesIndustry.biz of the "exceptional" response the game has received only a week after it went live in the US.

First unveiled at GDC 2008, LostWinds has been a launch title on both sides of the Atlantic, and Braben is confident the title will do just as well across PAL regions as it has in North America.

"'Pleased' is an understatement," he said of the reaction from critics and fans.

"The reaction has been exceptional - from both reviewers, which is very pleasing, and also the user reviews are extremely high – we've also had very many people who have taken the time to email us directly with their entirely positive feedback, which is very appreciated," commented Braben, boss of Cambridge-based studio Frontier Developments.
