AtomStudents keep the Gamecube alive with Blowind
Down in the depths of Tokyo Game Show, away from all the blaring speakers and Level 5’s line were a series of student made games. While most of them were for PC or the Xbox 360 (go XNA!) there was a single Gamecube title in the bunch, Blowind. On the surface it is a platformer, but it has a hook. The two characters carry around giant fans that they use to create wind gusts and as a jumping tool. I doubt this will ever be commercially released, but you can take a look at a video of Blowind past the break.
How to play the game.

Are these games licensed?
This is what I love seeing, programs that let people develop what they want for a system.
I can see great things happening on a console system if they did more projects that let people experience this firsthand.

It would be great to see Blowind somehow find a publisher and at least become the Gamecube’s swan song in Japan as a official release. Judging from this video, it’s definitely a unique take on platformers, and I would love to get a chance to play the game myself through importing if given the oft chance of getting published.
