Kinectimals developer Frontier Developments will launch mobile versions of enchanting platform adventure Wii game LostWinds this year.

Frontier boss David Braben told Eurogamer at the Develop conference today that LostWinds will launch on iPad, iPhone and Android mobiles.

It is the original games "to start with" ported across to iOS and Android, Braben said.

Eurogamer was the first press to see the game running on iPad outside. Players are able to move the series star Toku with a virtual joypad situated on the lower left corner of the screen, and create wind with the screen's touch functionality.

"It works very well with the Wii controller motions, but it also works on a touch interface in a very similar fashion," Braben told Eurogamer.

LostWinds launched on the WiiWare download platform in 2008 to critical acclaim. A sequel, LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias was released a year later.

What happened to the rumoured Kinect versions? Was that just industry chatter?

No idea, I don't speak to anyone there anymore. The guys I was friends with have left :(

I hope they canned that idea for iOS release instead.

Half playable being right. It was a bit fiddly at times on Wii. I can only imagine Enril will be easier to get right this time, but Toku will be the one who's awkward to control.

Good, they deserve much more success than they've had on Wiiware. Lost Winds 1 + 2 were amazing.

Not sure the lifting motion will work as well as it does on the Wii and the screen will be too small on the iPhone.

The bastards should never have ditched WiiWare

How does it count as ditching Wii Ware to release the games on another platform (or two?)

Because a third was originally planned but that seems to have been abandoned, or at least temporarily shelved.

If more people wind up playing it though, surely it's ultimately a good thing?

Given that the WiiWare game was shelved, yes. But then Herbi's anger is geared towards the fact that the series didn't get the WiiWare threequel it deserved.
