Better than a lot of the more expensive games out now...and it's only $10!

I don't know if it was the quirky introduction to this game's first trailer or the fact that you were going to be able to control the power of the wind, but this game had me intrigued from day 1.
For $10 they really did put a lot of care and effort into making this game work, both in it's control scheme and on the graphical front.
The main drawback to this game is that it isn't very long, but if you enjoy exploring new scenery and are looking for an interesting and fun jaunt into the world of wiiware then check this title out.
The game begins with the main character (Toku) Sleeping under a tree and you (playing as the wind spirit, Enril) must awaken him to begin the journey, while you will have no direct effect on Toku in the very begining of the game he soon discovers a "spirit shard" with some of Enril's essence held captive inside. After discovering this artifact you will be endowed with the ability to wisk Toku aloft with a wave of the Wiimote, which turns out is much more enjoyable than you can imagine! You are given a short back story and then sent on your way to discover all of the other abilities of the wind that will aid you in your fun, albeit short, quest of restoring order to your island while simutaneously defeating another spirit that is filled with hate and overwhelming power.
If you're not really into the whole "old skool" essence of the Wii Shop Channel then check out this wiiware title, when you beat it you will be wondering when the sequal is coming... I know I am!
