Windjammers coming out for PS4 and Vita

haha nice work lang

I can actually get this and play it on a real actual console rather than trying to get a hacked Japanese Wii to play it on Virtual Console (the only place it came out after the OG release)!
 
I have no idea how popular this game is outside of the giantbomb community but I guess it must be popular enough.
 
First Wild Guns Reloaded (available soon people!), now Windjammers HD! I can't believe it!

This might be one of the most amazing retro gaming related things to happen in years.
 
2013’s Old Game of the Year finally coming back.
 
Holy shit this is out of nowhere. One of the greatest arcade games. A gift to humanity. Online multiplayer oh my god

I was planning on buying a PS4 for Nier 2 but this just seals the deal.
 
Honestly a great game. I had played it a long time ago, but got in a couple hours on a MAME cabinet in 2013 and was just enraptured. Great, kinetic feel. Really polished. If you've ever liked a Mario Tennis or Super Dodge Ball anything like that, just a simple stripped down arcade sports game, you'll enjoy it. Really cool surprise.

The Sony stream after the conference tried to explain it... "Windjammers... uh... it's like an industry inside joke... Jeff Gerstmann from GiantBomb likes it... people on GAF like it... I think many people in the audience were too young to have played it... uh...."
 
Yay, the only thing that really excited me about PSX! Might get an old launch Ps4 just to play that assuming it never comes to PC.

Haha that's great. I'm definitely going to buy this game. It looks crazy fun.

when memes go too far
 
I used to play this game all the time as a kid when I went to an arcade or this local pizza place and loved it. I totally forgot the name until today. This is very cool.
 
What's the story with this game and him?

He tried to acquire the license to the game to rerelease it and failed. He then said it was impossible and another Windjammers would never be made. The game has been in a weird rights situation so someone did some work to navigate all of it for this to be possible.

So he's salty that somebody was able to do it but not him?
 
Nah, after playing it in the arcade as a kid, I was so hyped when the NeoRageX emulator came out and been playing it ever since. This is so great and it's not just Giant Bomb.
I don't doubt peoples enjoyment and love for the game but fucking nobody was talking about it anywhere before GB started bringing it in streams.

Without Giant Bomb and Lang this game would not be coming out.
