Windjammers 2 Developers Say The Sequel is a Labor of Love
Windjammers 2 is a sequel that's incredibly faithful to the original, which is a remarkable achievement. Making a sequel to an existing game is rarely easy, but things get much, much harder when the game in question is a cult classic that has lain dormant for decades. Despite this, French video game developer Dotemu decided to release a sequel to the 90s sports arcade game Windjammers, which was released back in 1994 for the Neo Geo arcade system. Windjammers 2 is fast-paced, colorful, and a love letter to the original game. In fact, according to lead programmer Kevin Delbrayelle and art director Stephanie Perez, it exists because Dotemu loved the first Windjammers too much to let the IP go dormant again. Delbrayelle and Perez spoke to Game Rant about how—and why—they resurrected the Windjammers series.
