this is so random

Maybe not. I think a big Let's Player or something must've done a Windjammers playthrough in the last few years. I've had multiple friends with zero retro game interest say 'hey: you know Neo Geo stuff. What's up with this Windjammers game?'. I dunno. That's just my theory. Seems to happen whenever some D-list YT celeb dusts off an old game.

Here its being ported by DotEmu. I have heard some bad things about some of their steam releases. But yea i'm excited, and my local FGC want to add this as one of the games we play during our ranbat season

really iffy about the whole DotEmu deal but at least it'll make it easier to play with people outside of FightCade

I really, really hope they don't mess this one up but DotEmu doesn't exactly have a very good track record.

You can thank Giant Bomb for that. They went all-in on the game, streaming it & talking about it on their podcast a couple years back. Interest in the game spiked practically overnight. It's understandable, I suppose, the game is tons of fun & can be highly competitive.

Calling what DotEmu does a "port" is very generous. They just take the rom and put it through their shitty emulation software. Absolutely gutted that they continue getting work shitting out some of my favorite Neo Geo games onto modern platforms.

Apparently Windjammers is HUGE in France. One of the number one NEO GEO games there. Was in tonnes of cabinets, in the same way that we got tonnes of Bust-A-Moves in North America.

There is a free theme available if you complete the "quest". You have to be logged into your PSN account.

http://live.playstation.com/

Look at the quest tab at the bottom of the list.

Anyone know if they plan to launch the game on Xbox One someday?

Just downloaded it and gave it a couple plays. There were a few laggy glitches during both of my matches...gonna play it some more tonight and see if it's still doing it.
