Industry newssite GamesIndustry.biz's Phil Elliott recently had the opportunity to sit down with Frontier Developments' head honcho, David Braben to talk about the studio's latest hit, LostWinds, and about WiiWare in general. In this short interview, Braben discusses LostWinds's origin and impact, about WiiWare's pending TV advertisement push and impact on the mainstream market, and on the Wii in general and how Sony and Microsoft will respond. At the end, Braben teases more WiiWare games from the studio.

LostWinds was recently annouced to be the top-selling WiiWare game in Europe, and has remained a hit in the eyes of many.

Earlier this week Nintendo's European marketing chief, Laurent Fischer, revealed that UK-developed LostWinds was the most popular title on the company's WiiWare online service.

To find out a bit more about the game, we spoke to Frontier Developments boss David Braben, who explained where the idea for the game came from, and offered his thoughts on small development teams and why the Wii controllers are so successful.
