LostWinds finds a home in Europe

Nintendo doesn't release sales numbers for VC or WiiWare titles (although stat lovers might be able to figure out some estimates). To give us a better idea of what's hot and what's not, though, everyone's favorite marketing guy Laurent Fischer reports that LostWinds is dominating Europe. The two games that "come close" to LostWinds' sales in the continent are TV Show King and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King.

Fischer also reports that WiiWare titles are enjoying a "constant flow of downloads," which makes sense in today's digital media environment. As for LostWinds, we're glad to see a game that's such a breath of fresh air get the recognition it deserves.

It's a shame they're releasing games so slowly over here though.

I wonder how well the newer games will do?

Selling loads of copies at launch is easy with all the fanfare that comes with an opening night. But with a cumbersome interface, I imagine many future games getting lost under the heap. A bit like the VC.
