The upcoming release of Sturmwind for Dreamcast has seen a lot of attention lately. Beside the main announcement on the computer show „neues“ on the German TV station, 3sat, there was also another segment on the show „on3-südwild“. In which they showed further unseen game play. In the mean time the Sturmwind discussions online are increasing.

No wonder so many fans got in contact with redspotgames and Duranik. This has been a reason for the current „fan“ beta tests. One of the most desired has been a collectors version of Sturmwind. With this realization redspotgames has spent the past few months working on just that.

Content with the result both redspotgames and Duranik are announcing a Limited Edition of Sturmwind for Dreamcast today. It bears the name „Windstärke 12“ („storm force 12“) and consists of following:

* Sturmwind Game
* Sturmwind Soundtrack: “The Final Score”
* Full Color Sturmwind 3D Printed Model 1:72
* Full Color Tactical Guide Booklet

All of that comes packaged in a special magnet box. „The Final Score“ contains both unused music and remixes of the original Sturmwind soundtrack. The „Tactical Guide“ shows the best strategies to beat the enemies in the game, full color and illustrated. The spaceship model is also in full color and 1:72 scale.

The Sturmwind Limited Edition „Windstärke 12“ is only available in a limited quantity. There will be no reproduction. Mass orders are prohibited. When its gone, it‘s gone!

It’s price will be 69,95 EUR (~ US $96.60 / ~ £60.50 GBP) and therefore is much cheaper and more affordable as similar collectors editions. It can be ordered directly at www.redspotgames.com/shop – shipping worldwide.

Due to this announcement and the rich feedback of our beta testers the release has been pushed back to 22-12-11. This concerns both the standard and Limited Edition.

Pre-Order Information: If you have already made a pre-order, you will receive your copy when the game ships. If you wish to change your order and get the Limited Edition instead do the following:

* Perform a new order for the Limited Edition – a payment is possible but not required
* Cancel your old order: Send both the old and the new order numbers in an email to the redspotgames online shop ([email protected])
* Total amount of the old order will be refunded (if available)

Packshots have been available on the redspotgames Flickr page a couple of hours before this official release. In future it might be interesting to become friends at those networks to be informed asap:

Getting a little pissed off with these folks. Another BS delay. And they're not making it very easy to change orders from regular to limited edition.

And one more thing- the website says you aren't charged until the game ships. This is NOT TRUE if you pre-order the game along with an existing title. For example, I ordered a Rush Rally Racing/ Sturmwind combo, and wouldn't you know it, my card was charged for the whole order.

It's a shame that the dreamcast legacy is in the hands of these amateurs. But as a DC fan, I'm used to disappointment

It's delayed till 12/22 looks like what happened they decided to change some aspects of the game. If memory serves me correct something about the weapon system. After they did that some bugs where found with the new changes. I didnt pre-order the game because i expected some delays. Lets hope its released by the end of the year.

Yea it was supposed to come out in June and then got delayed. I still think it will be good. It has seemed to get a lot more hype then Fast Striker or Gunlord, I don't know if it will be as good but lets hope they all turn out for the best!

Yeah it has well the game has been in development in some form or shape for 6 years now. Also it will be the first actual release for a non port Dreamcast game since 2009.
