I feel the hype around Windjammers 2 died down somewhat with it's long reveal to release period, and that's a shame because this ended up turning out great! Doesn't mess with perfection, just gives the original a fresh, very pleasant coat of paint, with new characters and stages that add some pretty fun extra wrinkles to things. The only new universal mechanic, the jump/smash, adds just enough extra complexity and feels great to pull off without overcomplicating the core game. Plus the online seems to work pretty dang well (though no spectator mode/lobbies is a big oversight and something I hope they may patch in later). Play this game!
