Jedi Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) This game is looking gorgeous! As a big fan of the Shantae series i'm quite excited for the game, although I am going to miss the Pirate Weapons of "Pirates Curse" at the same time it is cool to see Shantae having her animal form dances back (Shown in the E3 stuff too). Who else here is hyped for this game? I've been waiting for it for quite some time now. This was awhile ago but Shantae's VA sung the main theme of the new game, which is used in the opening stage Edited December 5, 2017 by Jedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ema Skye Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I've been waiting all year for this game! I saw the 15 minute video and could not control the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 I've been waiting for it since I finished Pirates Curse when that came out haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I wouldn't say I'm exactly hyped since I never played a Shantae game before but its certainly peaking my interest. I may very well end up buying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodHoms Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Shante and the Pirate's Curse was an outstanding game, 1/2 Genie Hero is definitely on my watch list for up coming games. Also Christina Vee has got some pipes man, I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risky's Revenge and Pirates Curse are available on steam among other things, if you're curious to see 2 of the games before this one, original GBC Shantae is also on the 3DS eshop iirc. SomecallmeJohnny has also done a small retrospective if you'd like to just see that Edited December 4, 2016 by Jedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came across as decent but flawed which wasn't what I was looking for at the moment. The production values seem a bit higher in this one from what little i've seen.

B.Leu Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) I played Pirates Curse, and holy crap, was it awesome. It's the kind of game that show just how perefect indie game can be.Do I really have to say that I'm hyped for 1/2 Genie Hero ?

My favorite part of the video - https://youtu.be/Sy_kB6k0Py8?t=14m12s Here's my review for the third Shantae game - http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=50722 The first two ARE flawed, but the third... not so much.

Emerson Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 My goodness, it's glorious. I'm weird with this series. I've actually only played Shantae on the GBC, yet I've been following the series ever since. I've just never had the money to buy Risky's Revenge or Pirate's Curse whenever I wanted to. Either way, great to see this finally coming together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 This has been delayed almost as much as Zelda and it's been killing me. Haha, just kidding, nothing comes close to being delayed as much as Zelda. Probably the last game I'll be getting for Wii U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Holy Elf Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I enjoyed Pirate's Curse a lot, so I'll definitely pick this one up. I'm a sucker for a good action-oriented platformer, and Shantae's silly comedy is a big step up from the genre norm of writing which is either non-existent or embarrassing.

One of the Kickstarter goals was a Risky Boots mode with the Pirate gear and it got funded. It's also full-length. That's probably the part I'm most excited for.

While flawed I still think they are very fun games to run through, something I always appreciate about when Johnny looks at games is he is honest, so yeah they have flaws, but I'd definitely give Pirates Curse a go for sure. Risky's Revenge is fun to blaze through despite its really short length imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zera Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 There are now two reviews on Metacritic, and they say it's GOOD... so, no surprises. Apparently there's no map though, which is a bummer since that was one of the biggest gameplay improvements in Pirate's Curse. But they're gonna do that Shovel Knight free DLC thing with different playable characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best comparison I have is DKC meets Metroid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
