I can't believe it was almost 4 years ago that I saw this being announced alongside SoR4. I really hope this game blows up and gets a ton of new players, because this masterpiece needs to be seen by the whole world. Cheers, and I'll see you all in the courts online (and who knows, maybe offline too) ;)
It was SO LONG but we're happy about the work done! Thanks for your kind words!
I have been dying for this game and I really appreciate the efforts the devs put into making this the best game possible. Much respect to you all and thank you!
Thanks a lot for your kind words!
Reminds me of the work that went into Streets of Rage 4!!! Getting this right away! Amazing!
Thank you!
it was so cool seeing some of the old Japanese programmers who worked on this game 30 years ago. I wasn't expecting that, but that was nice. it took them awhile to make this game but it looks like they're almost done.
Its great to see a title that was so under appreciated for so many years finally get the recognition it deserved and not only that, get a sequel made with the blessings and support from the original devs. The level of detail dotemu is putting into the game and maintaining the integrity of the original really shows. You guys should be very proud!
It’s a crime this isn’t at EVO this year. Thank you so much for your hard work, y’all are legends ❤️
I love the gameplay and art style, but it really needs extra modes like the minigames being separate from the story mode, more minigames, a season mode and extra unlocks like new characters or new outfit colors. Hopefully, you guys will keep adding content to make it even better. It could easily be a 10/10 game for me.
Cyrille Imbert, you and Dotemu are one of my inspirations in the life! Thanks for make great games! Streets of Rage 4, TMNT and now this! You guys are the best!! I cant wait for this game.
Seeing the original team put a tear in my eye. Glad to see them recognized and appreciated finally.
I really appreciate the work you all do reviving these retro experiences for the modern age. Can't wait for Windjammers 2!
Thanks for all of your hard work with Windjammers 2, I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I’ll be picking it up on Switch & GamePass. Release day can’t get here soon enough! 😍
Almost there! Thanks for your support!
This is one of those rare companies that are For-Fans-By-Fans. So much respect for you all and all of your hard work! I hope your team keep making games for years to come and never lose that rooted vision! Love you all! 💯🙏
Thanks a lot!
Bravo les gars, de la french touch et de la passion. Dotemu c'est top j'ai adoré tous vos jeux. J'achèterai aussi le prochain windjammers 2; Vous avez choisi la bonne approche.
No se si lo entenderéis, pero lo escribiré en español para poder expresarlo perfectamente.
Os agradezco mucho el haber hecho este juego. Jugarlo con mis amigos, riendo y gritando, ha sido algo que me está ayudando a llevar mejor la pérdida de la persona que amé. Os agradezco de corazón el amor que habéis puesto en el juego. Gracias.
DotEmu you are one of my favorite game devs. Please don't stop releasing great games!!
That one creator at the end looked like he was gonna cry, and I was right there with him
Dotemu have become my TOP 1 devs in recent memory! SOR4, Windjammers 2 and I can't wait for TMNT Shredder's Revenge and I am sure that one will be fun as hell too. Thank you Dotemu for bringing good ol' arcade fun as we remember it.
It's obvious just how much effort and care went into this game. I loved the demo and open beta that came out on Steam, and it looks like the final version is going to be more than worth the wait!
Thanks!
Iusually meet up with two friends to play old games with emulators. In our weekly get-togethers, recently we play the new SoR4... but yesterday we discovered Windjammers2. We played it for 8 uninterrupted hours like crazy kids. The work done on these titles is almost perfect. Not only does it manage to replicate the gameplay of classic games while maintaining their essence, but you have also managed to incorporate new features to create a truly better new title than the previous one.
Thanks Dotemu, this is passion
Très émouvant, bravo à toute l'equipe !!
Nous avons hâte de le découvrir dans sa version finale 👍
Merci, on y est presque !!
Vivement les sorties de pix'n love, déjà précommandé d'ailleurs
Hi, retro gamer here. I grew up playing couch co-op and multiplayer games. Watching this short documentary got me a little emotional. I see a team of people, a group that really wants to make great games and appreciates the old games and the previous developers. THIS is so rare today. I'm happy you guys exist!! Stick to the formula you've been using and you'll achieve many things. PS - I've been buying ALL your games 😁PS 2 - If I was a millionaire I'd hire you guys to make new Sonic games 😋
What a great doc! I loved the original devs looking at the new game, talking about their work and how pong was an inspiration for it! Never really put 1 and 1 together, but Windjammers does feel like a drastic evolution of pong. Can't thank Dotemu enough for putting so much work into this game, it looks truly magical!
Really cool video, loved seeing the original developers and sketches for the first game as well
Quand j' ai fondé le forum Windjammers France fin 2012, je n' imaginais pas que tout cela irait aussi loin
Bravo et merci !
@@Dotemuofficial Merci à vous surtout !
I love their art style and passion for bringing fun classic games into modern life
Honestly, just thank you guys so much for bringing windjammers back in such a great way. First time i got my hands on it, instantly fell in love with the new game feeling both, familiar and new at the same time. What i would have loved to see in this documentary what happened the past 1-2 years of radio silence from you guys. what kept you from releasing? was it netcode? sadly this making of ends in 2020 haha. anyway: love you guys, Metal Slug next up?
I’m a HUGE Windjammers fan and was super skeptical of a sequel… finally got my hands on Windjammers 2 and my Lord, it’s incredible, your team knocked it out of the park! I got my friends into it and now it’s all we play. Well done DotEmu and thank you!
Never heard of this game, but checked out this documentary because of the Dotemu name.
Glad I watched this, I look forward to the game's release!
Thank you guys for all your amazing work.
As a fellow game dev, and life long fighting gamer: bravo. Windjammers 2 is everything I could have hoped for!
You guys @Dotemu are incredible. Every creation is so respectful to the original ideas but going further, reviving the franchises at a whole new level. I would love to see your own version of Street Fighter 6 :-)
Day one pour moi, je l'attends depuis des années ! 🙂
Super making-of d'Alex Pilot au passage, avec plein d'anecdotes intéressantes et la possibilité de découvrir le processus créatif ainsi qu'une partie du staff, ça fait super plaisir !
Hearing the old timer devs talk about the limitations and time constraints they had to endure and features they couldn't add, exemplifies the meaning of "art from adversity". This -supposedly- quick throaway arcade game became a neogeo staple and a classic, it grew beyond anyone's vision in the 90s
La pureté ce jeux! Et un bel hommage par l'équipe de Dotemu!
Franke Sisto needs to be a playable character!!! I believe he is part of the reason why this sequel even exists.
It would be neat if he was an NPC next to the court somewhere. From what I've seen there seems to be an Austin Creed NPC next to the wrestling-ring kind of court in the top left corner.
I can't say more than this video put the smile on my face along the duration of it with a grateful feeling. This is what I want to see from a company that restores the glories of the Japanese godfathers in their modern own touch. I didn't know this game before but the gameplay is amazing and I'll download it. Thank you Dotemu. I hope and wish to see you make such revive to my beloved Japanese:" captain tsubasa J get in the tomorrow " in your own beloved way.
Thank you for finding those rights. I needed this game. I can't wait to jam again.
Almost there!!
Et le prochain niveau c'est Street Hoop / Drunk dream ???
And the next level is Street Hoop / Dunk dream ?
The vram on my Neo Geo cabinet just died and now I see Windjammers 2 is almost out, I will now be ok. Can't wait Dotemu!
Bravo les mecs 😎 la France est fière de vous 😎😁
Super docu' je ne vois pas comment vous pouvez vous planter... Vous semblez avoir fait les choses à la perfection...
Retrouver les créateurs d'origine, quel bonheur, quelle expérience magique ca a du être.
Non mais la documentation qu'ils ont gardé et ce boulot qu'ils avaient fait en amont, c'est dingue, on comprend pourquoi les Japonais ont tant écrasé la concurrence pendant plusieurs décennies.
Puis votre plongée dans le code d'origine pour coller à la perfection, ce travail de fourmi... C'est limite de l'archéologie, ça doit être jouissif... Et la petite touche finale avec l'apport des meilleurs joueurs de l'opus d'origine.
Votre souci du detail a été dingue, votre passion complétement transpirante.
Je suis encore plus heureux d'avoir pris le gros collector de Pix'n Love, je sais que je ne me suis définitivement pas trompé.
J'espère que vous rencontrerez le succès que vous méritez !
Quoiqu'il arrive, vous avez mis tout l'amour que vous pouviez pour offrir une suite à jeu culte mais véritablement de niche, rien que pour ça vous avez notre plus profond respect.
C'est couillu comme démarche, c'est français 😎 et ca tabasse très certainement 😁
Merci beaucoup pour ce gentil message, ça nous motive pour la dernière ligne droite !
On se rend pas compte du taf que c'est dans l'arrière boutique, merci à vous pour tout ❤
Merci beaucoup pour le soutien !
This game is so tight. Played it at Genesis (the smash bros tourney in CA), wish more tourneys would notice it. Everyone that sat down to try it was hooked!
Great Job guys. Got the game at Friday at launch, already played more than 10 hours.
Might be niche but its easily one of my most anticipated games this year. I can't tell you how much me and my best friend are looking forward to playing this. We played the hell out of the first game.
Thank you for this video and making this game! With this, SoR4 andthe upcoming Turtles game, please keep doing what you guys do. Resurrect old classics in a glorious way.
You right man! Imagine a Golden Axe by Dotemu, that would be great.
Vous êtes incroyable !
Le reportage est superbe,votre travail est magnifique tout en respectant WJ1,on peut même voir les anciens développeur avoir des étoiles dans les yeux.quel bonheur de revoir revivre ce jeu!!
S'il vous plaît n'abandonnez pas votre bébé et proposer aux joueurs du dlc,et un suivit de ce merveilleux jeu, simple mais tellement efficace.
Bravo à toute l équipe encore.
I'm one of those people that never played the 1st one, and I must say, this is an awesome game. I was not aware of this game until 2 days ago, and since i always liked these types of couch-vs games, it was a very good surprise to see this being released and play this good.
The graphic art is beautiful, and you guys did an awesome job with the netcode and the crossplay feature so I bought 2 copies of this game on Steam today, one for me and one for one of my buddies.
One thing tho, is it possible to add a Training stage or something along the lines so we can practice the setups. I ask because it's really hard for some people like myself to just jump online after reading the "How to play" section but not being able to move your character at all to get the "feeling of learning" the moves.
I've been jamming since the morning and only took a break just to check this making of, but still, it will be greatly appreciated it this is added in the future along with of course, more characters as DLC. Btw, I love the hidden character, good job guys.
This documentary was so great! It's somehow fun and emotional also. The part with the original developers was fantastic. I love DotEmus work so much but Windjammers 2 is your best shot. I hope someday you will go back to make a better netcode for WJ2. Please don't let it die and never stop making new sequels for this fantastic series. I bought it for two systems (PC, Switch) on the first day because this is one of the best games on Earth. I definitely believe in this. :D :D
Merci les gars, et vous faites pas les choses à moitié, cette vidéo est à la hauteur d'un reportage d'Alex Pilot (Pocket Shami). On bridge les gaps comme on dit avec le Japon et les anciennes générations grâce à vous.
Thank you Dotemu for releasing this on Game Pass!!!
Bruh I love Windjammers. I plan on throwing a online tournament if Dotemu would like to be involved.
Merci pour ce jeu, Windjammers 2, qui est une véritable merveille.
Très gros respect pour votre travail et votre passion. Big up Dotemu !
it's just like said in this video! i'm playing windjammers 1 since many years and when i tried wj2 ps4 beta this summer i felt the same way i feel when i play wj 1! i also won more then 30 matches in a row online because of my past experience, even if i have to learn new mechanics.... i can't wait anymore for january 20th!!
Had to comment again just to say holy shit what a great mini documentary about this game. Hope you make more of these in the future for your future games!
je viens juste d"acheter le jeu .... au debut je me disais " les jeux d'arcade , les jeux neo-geo c'est plus mon truc" du coup j'hesitais a l'acheter... quel tuerie ce jeu ! impossible de lacher la mannette ! un gameplay furieux et intuitif ! des decors simple et beaux avec une ambiance festive (en plein mois de janvier ça fait du bien au moral) incontournable !
Oh ho ho!!! 2 weeks away!! I have it on my Switch e-Shop Wish List right now! I have pre-ordered the physical copy as well! I cannot wait to get this!!! Thank you, Dotemu!!!
Merci. Un jeu parfait entre potes et pour des tournois. Les feintes en saut c'est une merveille :)
Un projet Street Hoop pour la prochaine ?
Parabéns aos desenvolvedores, um trabalho incrível.
Whoah, so cool! I was on the fence about getting the Switch physical copy on Pix'n Love but after watching this, I got hyped and preordered lol. Wishing you the best Dotemu, this game speaks to my soul!!!
Thank you for your support!
I’m so happy that this game is a reality. Can’t wait to play it tomorrow!
Товарищи, нужно больше ретро-игр!
The first time I played WindJammers was at a Super Potato in Tokyo in 2018. Amazing classic arcade game. I got the port on switch and preordered WindJammers 2 as well
I’ve seen the original so many times growing up and wanting to try it. Now that I got it I’ve been on it A LOT.
Gonna stream it soon.
Ciao a tutti... Bravissimi mi Complimento Tantissimo.... Mi mancava un sakko questo videogame... Lo atteso incredibilmente... Presto avremo il 2 addirittura.... Grandiosi... Non vedo l ora... Grazie... 🤩🤩🤩✌️✌️✌️
Travail d’orfèvre, félicitation pour votre amour et passion qu’on ressent dans ce jeux .
Your work on this game is simply beautiful. I will buy it right away. Parabéns!
Super collector déjà préco chez Pix'n Love ! Et demain 15H je le prends en démat ! 😍
Well done film, exciting. Waiting for the game! Love and blessings.
21:40 this is a great additon to keep the game fresh, well done guys
Guys the game is really Great, merci for all the hard work
Excellent doc, bravo Alex pour la réal et bravo à toute l'équipe de DotEmu !
Cant wait to play it again after the Demo😍 i still play Windjammers 1 on an arcade with friends every month🤘🏻
I support Windjammers 1 and 2, I loved the beta online test in August 2021. I would like to enjoy this game with my best friend of course. Showing love from Cape Town, South Africa. First deafblind pro
Super vidéo, l'équipe de dot emu à beaucoup de potentiel en tout cas.
Day one aussi pour moi. J'ai déjà pré-commander la version collector de pix'n love.
Merci beaucoup !
avete fatto un capolavoro arcade🔝bravi!
Super Making-of, j'ai très bien apprécié la bêta test et je peux vous dire que j'attends de pied ferme le jeu dans sa version finale.
J'espère pour vous un carton !
Yoooosh !!
I can't wait for windjammers 2!
Vraiment très sympa ce making off bravo les gars, très bon jeu 😘
Been waiting for this ever since the showcase at Evo 2019, the first demo (back when I helped run the charity tournament with Panda Global), the rollback demo, and since I was introduced to Windjammers from a friend!
Can’t wait for my physical copy from Limited run Games. My PS4 copy will go right next to my copy of wind jammers (PS4). After watching this video I sure wish I had that arcade cabinet with wind jammers as seen in the video. Great video!!!
Thanks a lot!
Hello et grand merci et respect a toute votre équipe on sent vraiment que vous avez tout ce qu'il faut pour nous faire des revivals de qualité. J en profite pour vous remercier pour le street of rage 4, pris day one et quel pied !! Je ne vais pas résister en tant que joueur sur borne à l époque du 1er opus et après un passage sur la bêta du 2 a le prendre aussi. A plus la flying power team ;). Pourvu que le netcode = rollback ^^.
This behind the scene lock was great. I preordered the switch version from limited run games. Really excited for it.
How will this run on switch vs the ps4 version ?? Is it 60fps
A certified hood classic
Make the remake of the Street Hoops neo geo. 👍
It's another great game, that was forgotten.
Bravo Dotemu, le jeu à l'air vraiment dingue, fidèle à l'esprit arcade pure du premier. Et le ''slapshot '': le petit plus bien placé. Comme d'habitude un travail nickel. J'ai hâte de l'essayer
Merci beaucoup pour le soutien !
Pretty amped that Windjammers 2 is released, and the extra time taken to put in rollback netcode. Like the devs, I sunk so many quarters into the first game.
As Windjammers, they really nailed the gameplay and I love the moves added!
As a fighting game in 2022, very disappointed that it’s lacking modern features that would give a niche fighting game the legs needed to build a community.
Mostly online lobbies/spectate/replay. This isn’t 1994, and arcades are gone. People gathering together to play and watch each other is done online.
Also, the fact it’s crossplay but no solution to invite specific people from another platform, that just fragments the community.
Releasing a literal E Sport in 2022, without the tools for an E Sport, is really dropping the disc.
These things really should have been prioritized first over 3 difficulties of Arcade Mode, Arcade mini games, or even more characters. Characters could be added in DLC if the game caught on.
Unfortunately with the numbers I’ve seen, I doubt it’s gonna make the revenue to get any further development, and become the same niche game with the same 50 player community WJ1 has. 😔
Merci Dotemu pour ce bonbon de vidéo . je l'ai dégusté à sa juste valeur.
I am buying multiple copies. Need more revivals of the lost arcade classics !
Awesome video.
So excited for the upcoming release!
Chapeau les gars pour ce travail incroyable de respect et de précision. Vous avez su conserver l'âme du jeu tout en le modernisant.
J'ai vraiment hâte de découvrir toutes les nouveautés que vous avez ajouté :)
Merci beaucoup, on a hâte aussi de pouvoir enfin le sortir :D
Superbe documentaire et superbe travail bravo à tous plus que quelques jours 🥳🥳
Vous êtes une équipe de beaux et belles gosses. C'est audacieux de refaire le jeu comme à l'époque, avec votre moteur maison. C'est prometteur pour l'avenir, j'espère que vous resterez sur des projets de cette nature. La cible à atteindre après, c'est M2, vraiment. Ce sont des dieux de l'émulation, et ils ont réalisé GG Aleste 3 sur Game Gear tout récemment (développé pour la console d'époque...).
This is the right way to make a sequel. Good job on consulting with the original creators
This is one of the greatest competitive games of all time -- I've spent who knows how many nights with my friends playing around with Windjammers. Excited to get to do it again with the upcoming sequel -- thank you Dotemu for always getting to put out the greatest experiences.
Dotemu ❤️
ENORME !!!
Merci c'était génial ! :)
This is absolutely a E-sport
It is!
Looks great 💪 After this great game is released any chance of a new golden axe game please 🙏
So happy this game is out on #XBox and GamePass lolll amazing game and I agree it feels like the older game but with improved mechanics and visuals and thats exactly what I wanted. Thank you guys! Also I wished there was a practice mode of some kind and maybe some other modes like ... 2V2 ? Lol
