Topic: Shantae and the Pirate's Curse

Nintendo Power has just announced a sequel to Shantae: Risky's Revenge coming to the 3ds eshop, and based on the screenshots and the little preview of the preview, looks to be another great game! So psyched for this, since Risky's Revenge is one of my all time favorite games. Comments?

You sir! Delete your topic!

Oh very well, Because I buggered up and accidentally posted it in the wrong forum (then reposted it in the eShop forum 30 seconds after you), I'll yield.

Exciting news, eh?

The Destructoid article I sourced my original post from

Very. And sorry about that lol. But hey, when you see news as good as this, you can't just keep it to yourself, am I right?

I didn't like the DSiWare one at all. Being a pirate sounds more interesting, let's see how this one goes.

If they can improve the in-game map and guide us a little better, I'll put up with the so-so retro gameplay to go through this one.

"The gameplay is meh, I'll buy another one if the map is better!"

there's other eshop game y'know? You don't have to force yourself to play every game in the Shantae series.

Interesting...I like the sound of the story in this one. I am glad I am not the only who didn't think this DSiware one wasn't as good as it was hyped up to be, this one on the other hand looks very promising. Right now though it seems like an excellent time to replay this the DSiware game on my 3DS and see if it is any better than I remember.

Awesome! Never played the original or DSiWare games, but I'll keep my eyes open for this.

I was wondering when WayForward was going to announce their next eShop game

The DSiWare game is actually ranks 3rd out of 4 when it comes to WayForward DSi/3DSWare titles in my opinion. MFC and MSF both are superior titles IMO.

I'd like to see a tad bit more replay value (maybe achievements or a harder difficulty) as well as a slightly longer main game. The game was pretty good, but not superb like many put it out to be.

Also, on another WayForward note, I wanna see a compiliation of HD or 3D remakes of the Mighty trilogy (no remake of MSF needed in both cases).

if it's @ $9.99 i'll be getting it. If it's more then that forget it.

I'd probably rank it as Shantae: RR being first, then Switch Force, then Milky Way, and Flip Champs as the worst of the four, but by all means still a good game

Ah hem...

SHANTAE ON GBC?

Getting this as soon as possible. Shantae with a sword and pistol will be interesting.

News of this has immediately prompted another play thru of riskys revenge. Cannot wait for this to download.

Eh, I wouldn't say I hated the gameplay (it was more the feeling that many of the enemies were placed for maximum cheap shots), and the map was terrible, so I'm hoping that those two will improve in PC. I'm entitled to my opinion, no matter how poorly I word it. If I want to spend the cash on a game whose prequel I wasn't terribly fond of, that's my problem.

Well it's being worked on, so I assume it'll be released before Pirate's Curse

here's a phrase I never thought I'd say: "The Shantae Trilogy"

Made for 3 diferent consoles, but available pretty much exclusively in a single one. That's kinda sounds nice.

I forgot the game even had a map. It sucked so bad I never used it.

never played a shantae game before. never have, never will.
