GameBrit takes a look back at some of the better titles available on wiiware, starting with launch title Lost Winds.
"The way wind is used to interact with Toku and his environment is well implemented and there are some great wind-based puzzles to tackle during the games admittedly short life span. But it's the subtle nature of the wind's influence on the game world that makes this game such a joy to play. Cherry blossom can be blown from trees and swirled around; Toku's clothing is blown about with any burst of wind; enemies and objects can be juggled playfully or hurled around the screen at a whim. There are so many little touches in control and presentation that you'd normally expect to find in an in-house Nintendo title."
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."
