Get ready to jam on January 20!
The legendary disc throwing game is back for Playstation 4 with new jammers, returning champions, new game mechanics and new courts. Try the arcade mode will challenging matches and bonus games, play casually with friends or climb the leaderboard in the online ranked league!

I was really looking forward to this but my hype has mostly died down. It's been too long.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

I want this game just for some fun local multiplayer!

 

[bender]

Really don't like the Lethal League looking characters.

 

[00_Zer0]

I miss the old school 2d art style. Even though Streets of Rage 4 and Wonderboy: The Dragon's trap look good I'm getting bored with this kind of art style compared to the old school pixel art look.

 

[Spukc]

It looks way better then last time

 

[yurinka]

Loved the betas released until now, they nailed the gameplay, audio and online. But I don't like the new art style, I'd have implemented the original one using a low res pixel art style in a Sonic Mania or their TMNT way.

 

[Alexios]

I mean, it looks pretty cool but also like you could just play the original, it doesn't add much of anything and there was little room for improvement to begin with. I guess that one's not widely released with online play anywhere (right? maybe the Switch got some ACA version?), but still, local rules.


Edit: it looks like it was released with online after all, also by DotEmu, on PS4, Switch and Vita. Rollback?

 

[KaiserBecks]

Day 1 on gamepass, cant wait. Local multiplayer will be a lot of fun.

 

[Nankatsu]

Still interested in this. OG Windjammers is a blast.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

The wait is almost over! Windjammers 2 will be available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Game Pass & Xbox Game Pass for PC on January 20, 2022 for $19.99/19.99€!

In the meantime, meet the team behind the project and learn how we created the unexpected sequel of the most incredible flying disc game! We have worked closely with the developers of Windjammers and as the French gaming community to provide you with the best possible experience.

 

[Renoir]

finally here... been waiting for this for a while. Been having so much playing the OG with my son.

 

[20cent]

How long was the development of the original game and how long did it take for this one?

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Windjammers 2 reviewed by Travis Northup on Nintendo Switch. Also available on Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and Stadia.

Windjammers 2 is a worthy sequel to a retro classic that manages to improve upon the highly competitive arena with new characters, levels, and abilities that make this fighting game version of Pong incredibly addictive. It lacks some key features like a spectator mode or any kind of tutorial to walk new players through all the complexities of combat and makes a limp attempt at telling a story about its characters, but it's so much fun to play that it's easy to forgive those whiffs.

 

[TheGreatMusashi]

I've been playing a lot of Windjammers on my MVS lately in the lead up to this and I've been playing 2 all morning. Despite my hesitation to all the prerelease material, I really think they nailed it. It's a gorgeous game. Visually there's a lot of polish, the soundtrack is perfect, and the gameplay feels right.

Goodbye free time, hello carpal tunnel arm brace.

Amazing just picked it up from the eshop. Let's go!

 

[Thabass]

Downloaded it on Gamepass.

Boy do I suck. Even against the computer lol

 

[Tarin02543]

I have Flying Power Disc on my NGCD

Will buy this for my Switch, the colors will pop on that oled.

 

[Business]

Downloaded it on Gamepass.

Boy do I suck. Even against the computer lol

I completed it (on medium... ) on my first try. Granted I played a ton of the arcade version back in the day.

CPU should be dope af in this game. lol

 

[Business]

CPU is not very harsh tbh, and I suck at most games these days.

 

[Thabass]

I went directly for medium and I'm getting demolished by it. It's actually kinda humorous and I'm liking that I suck.

 

[drganon]

I'll probably pick this up eventually. I've played the crap out of the ps4 port of the original they released a few years back.

 

[drganon]

Well I got it and to be honest, I'm disappointed. The new gimmick moves and courts are annoying and the ai is bullshit. Just stick to the original.
