Windjammers is a fast-paced head-to-head arcade game where two players face off on a court, and throw discs at the opponent's goal zone to score points.The player with the most points wins. Incredibly fun and intensely addictive, Windjammers is the adrenaline rush you’re looking for!
Originally released on the NEOGEO arcade system, Windjammers perfectly blends sports and fighting games. Sharpen your throwing and sliding skills, use the best techniques to defeat your opponents, and become the world’s best player!
Choose between six different international players, each with their own super-throws and characteristics. Plus, every environment, from sunny beach to crowded stadium, requires you to adapt your tactics in order to earn victory.
"After successfully bringing back some Neo Geo classics along the years, in 2015, our quest succeeded. With the blessing of SNK and our friends at Paon DP who trusted us with their IP, Windjammers would return and DotEmu would be in charge. Hells yeah!
Windjammers is one of those games that never gets old. It’s simple, well-made, instant fun. However, behind that simplicity lies an ocean of strategy and challenge. To be a decent player you’ll need to master a diverse set of skills, i.e. knowing when to toss your disc, and when to launch a super-custom or hammer throw to wrest the momentum from your opponent. Each frame matters, precision is key, and self-control is critical.
Your hands will sweat. Guaranteed!
For us, this project had to be perfect. We wanted to respect Data East’s incredible work and provide a faithful experience to players both experienced and new. And what better way to do this than to include the Windjammers community in our project? From the beginning we worked closely with Windjammers France, which boasts some of Europe’s best players. Founded in 2012, this association of ardent fans organizes annual tournaments. And trust us, when this crew fires up Windjammers, they don’t mess around!
Windjammers France helped us maintain continuity with the arcade version, and broadened our understanding of the game’s tremendous e-sports potential. Windjammers is ideal for the e-sports arena, which is why we created an easy-yet-complete online mode for players from Chile to China, to engage in continuous competition."
