At Nintendo's Media Summit, we were able to try out this interesting adventure game ourselves for the first time.
You play as Toku, a little boy who, while exploring the wilds of his home island of Mistralis, stumbles upon a "shard" belonging to the wind spirit Enril. Enril and the rest of her spirit kin were imprisoned long ago by Balasar, the spirit of the sun and the moon. That shard is enough for Enril to communicate with Toku and become his companion, using her wind powers to help him recover the spirit shards and ultimately defeat Balasar."
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The official end of the WiiWare service may not be until early 2019 but we wanted to give everybody as much of a chance as possible to remember all of the great games that Nintendo’s first every download service brought us. Last week we counted down the first 10 games in our look at the Top 20 WiiWare games ever made, and if you haven’t had the chance yet you can check out those picks right here but now we switch our focus over to the very best that WiiWare has to offer so if you still have a Wii (or a Wii U) kicking around make sure to download these games before they are lost forever."
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "As I continue my quest to complete my backlog (last week I was in the trenches of World War II) I find myself returning to a console that is near and dear to my heart, the Wii, and it’s virtual games service WiiWare. And by back I mean way back as I decided to finally give a go at the WiiWare launch title LostWinds a go. "
Triverse writes, "Not very many returning games on the list this week which means there is nearly a full new set of games to peruse. iOS gamers enjoy the perks of getting games, that once cost money, for free while Android users are limited to still having to pay something for sales (we will have a fresh list tomorrow for both iOS and Android). For now, enjoy these great titles on your iOS device as we head into the Christmas season."
