3	''Windy X Windam'' is a FightingGame from the same development team behind ''VideoGame/IzunaLegendOfTheUnemployedNinja'', and including Izuna and Shino from that game.
4
5	It takes place on a remote island kingdom called Gawain, a place where people empowered with devices called "Windies" are given the ability to fly. Seven fighters, along with a mysterious "eighth" malefactor, have assembled for a tournament, wherein the winner will have his/her one greatest wish granted. Aside from the flight and special attacks granted by their devices, the fighters also have the ability to transform (for a very brief period of time) into a more powerful form.

7	The game was released in Japan in the summer of 2008 by Creator/{{Success}}, while it was given a very limited release in the U.S. by Creator/GraffitiEntertainment two years later, available only through online retailers.
8	----
9	!Tropes:
10	* ArtificialStupidity: Computer opponents don't block or (with the sole exception of Shino) roll out of the way when knocked into the air.
11	* BlindIdiotTranslation: The game's English localization is riddled with typos and redundant dialogue.
12	* CaptainErsatz: More than half of the character roster bears similarities to characters from the ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' series with varying degrees of resemblance, Jack (a Slayer lookalike) and Big (a Potemkin clone) being the most blatantly obvious.
13	%%* DudeLooksLikeALady: Stin.
14	* DullSurprise: Every character only has one facial portrait, which is used for both story cutscenes and {{Super Move Portrait Attack}}s.
15	* GuestFighter: Izuna and Shino. They appear in every character's main storyline, but have to be unlocked by finishing the game on the harder difficulties.
16	* HeroesPreferSwords: Kirikou is the only sword-wielding fighter in the original roster.
17	%%* HotWitch: Ashley
18	%%* MalevolentMaskedMan: G
19	%%* MightyGlacier: [[MeaningfulName Big]].
20	* MirrorMatch: When playing as Izuna or Shino, you eventually have to fight against characters impersonating them.
21	* NumericalHard: Bumping up the difficulty level only alters the attack and defense power of CPU-controlled opponents. Their tactics remain the same.
22	* OneLetterName: G
23	* TransformationIsAFreeAction: When a character transforms before their super attack, the opponent is frozen in place for a few seconds.
24	* AWinnerIsYou: After defeating the final boss, the game only shows a picture of your fighter along with short expository text about their exploits afterwards, and dumps you back to the title screen after entering your name on the high score list.
