Dotemu sent out the following

 

Retro masters at Dotemu announced that the legendary disc throwing game, Windjammers, is getting a sequel. Windjammers 2 will combine everything fans love about the classic title with entirely hand-drawn 2D animations to create the ultimate windjamming experience. Additionally, the Blitworks-developed Dotemu rendition of the original NEO GEO game will land on the Nintendo Switch on Oct. 23 for $14.99.

Windjammers is the best flying power disc game ever made, ever, and now is even better than ever made, ever, with new stages and players, surprising and amazing new power moves. The coming sequel also promises enhanced gameplay mechanics for today’s ultimate disc throwers.

Additionally, Windjammers 2 will bring enhanced online multiplayer gameplay modes, providing rewarding competition for those looking for the ultimate challenge, and robust single-player modes are included for those who like to jam solo or hone their disc-craft offline.

“Growing the Windjammers community over the past two years has been a lot of fun, and with that growth we see a great opportunity to continue to innovate on its timeless and fun gameplay,” said Cyrille Imbert, CEO of Dotemu. “Thanks to that experience, we have a clear idea of how to make Windjammers 2 as fun and entertaining as the original.”

Windjammers 2 will fly onto Nintendo Switch and PC in 2019. For complete information on Windjammers, hit up www.flyingpowerdisc.com.

 

This is truly awesome news. Hopefully this game will catch on as much as its predecessor did.
