Her last game is considered one of the best GBC games and people are excited that she's getting an overdue sequel.

Here's what I posted on the predictions thread on Shantae:

Shantae: Risky's Revenge is the sequel to the 2002 cult-hit GBC platformer Shantae. It is the first in a three episode saga for DSiWare. It involves the story of Shantae, a half-genie who uses her hair as a weapon transforms into various animals by belly dancing as she fights Risky, a pirate and her evil minions. (Wierd)

Wayforward, the developers of both the original and Risky's Revenge, have also made the following: Contra 4 (DS), A Boy and His Blob (Wii), LIT (WiiWare), Sigma Star Saga (GBA) and Mighty Flip Champs! (DSiWare), just to name a few.

Exactly.

Here is Corbies Awesome review of Shantae for Game Boy Color....
http://retro.nintendolife.com/reviews/2009/06/shantae_retro

To tell you how hard it is to get your hands on the GBC version, this is what it goes for now on Ebay.....
http://catalog.ebay.com/Shantae-Game-Boy-Color-2002-/8856?_fi...

$429.95 USD Brand new. Ive tried to track down a copy for years and havent been able too at all. Ive been scammed online as well trying to get it. At some point I WILL get it no matter what I have to pay. This game is a cult hit as big as Earthbound that I regret missing so bad. Playing the sequel will only hold me over until i get the first one.

RAAAAAGGGGGHHH Shantae is a no-go for today (((( This is quite upsetting to me... Here I was all primed and ready to download it to my DS. Wonder if they'll even say anything about this "elusive but amazing" game.....

I guess it possible that they are waiting to be able to release all 3 episodes of Shantae at the same time. Now how awesome would that be?
3 Shantae games available on the same day for only 500 NP each.

Do you guys not realize how much games like Pop+Solo, Flipper and other games (to name a few) were hyped up beyond belief on this site only to have a review that didn't live up to the hype? So that's the only reason I am wary of Shantae. Very few dsiware games get high praise, because of hokey game mechanics or this or that... So let's chill and wait to see what the game actually performs like.

(remembers the hype around Prehistork Man finally coming to the DSIware shop, further remembers how the when the review was finally release on NL how sad everyone was....)

Not to many games the get over hyped for a Dsiware release turn out to be bad games IMHO. Off hand I can think of a Gameloft port(or2or3) that has really let us down but other then that I think the Dsiware shop has done a o.k. job at not disapointing us Dsi owners with releases.

Well, I wouldn't say that any of those games got even close to the amount of hype that Shantae is getting. This is also the first episodic game on DSiWare, and since it is episodic, they should be able to do more with it.

I love rpgs and platformers the most... racing games are good too!

Well, I finally got my hands on a copy of Shantae FINALLY, and Holy Crap is it INCREDIBLE! Though it is truely for the Hardcore Gamers, so you have been warned. ITs difficult and not in a Mega Man kinda way. Its just dang hard once you get a few hours into it. That being said, the graphics are beyond great for a GBC game and look Amazing on a GBA. The Music is some of the best in ANY game EVER, and the controls are spot on. Its a blast, an absolute blast. I literally cant wait to get to the sequels as soon as I finsh the first one.

@ Congrats on finally picking up a copy of Shataes GBC outing. Just my luck I would find one, but it would be only I candy for me as I dont own GameBoy Color.

However the impression is appreciated in this thread....

It actually will play on your GBA with Improved graphics, as it came out late in the GBC lifecycle, they intended it to be played on GBA is my understanding, not really sure on that one, but I read that somewhere. The GBC I own a few of, but only as collector novelties, as the screen is terribly hard to see with no backlight. I think it can be played on DS though, I really do, Ill have to try it.

Let me make one thing clear. If a game has a "Q" date (i.e. Q1), then its date is NOT set in stone. there is NO guarantee that the game will be released that quarter

You are right, as it actually started with a Q4 2009 Release and just missed Q1 2010 Release. Im hoping they havent dropped this into a DS Cart and not going the DSi route, cause we might wait a good while for that if they do.
