In other Frontier Developments news, the Cambridge-based developer brought its wonderful LostWinds series to Steam today.

Originally debuting on WiiWare before coming to mobile, LostWinds and LostWinds 2: Winter of the Melodias hearkened back to the Metroid days tasking players with guiding a young boy and his wind spirit friend through a magical kingdom. The Wii version had a unique control scheme in which the nunchuck controlled the boy while the more whimsical Wiimote handled the wind, and this PC-release seems to adapt these dual controls by letting you manipulate the pair with the mouse and keyboard.

You can grab each LostWinds title for £6.99 / €9.99 / $9.99, or get them bundled together in the Blossom Edition for £10.99 / €14.99 / $14.99.
