Windjammers 2 will be jam-packed with new content, says dev team

A few weeks back, Windjammers 1 and 2 were revealed for Switch in a one-two punch. The original title retains the classic look and feel, while the sequel is looking to one-up the original. Just what kind of new content can we expect in Windjammers 2? Arnaud De Sousa, Head of Marketing at Dotemu, explained in a ComicsInkCorporated interview.

Windjammers 2 is not a remake but truly a new game in the series, which means of course: new mechanics, new graphics (fully hand drawn with traditional animation), new characters, new game modes, and so on. Because it’s a sequel, we want of course to keep that unique Windjammers feeling, but we also want to bring something new. We have tons of ideas and we’re still experimenting, so I can’t say what will be in the final game, but to give you an example, I can talk to you about the EX Move, a new mechanic that we showed at PAX West. The EX Move works basically like a super in a fighting game: you have an EX bar that fills up during the match, and when it’s full, you can press a button and release a super move unique to each character.
