Review Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
Genieus
Immediately upon seeing the title screen and hearing the game's main theme, you know that Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is another step forward for this series. Back in 2002, Shantae made her debut on the Game Boy Color to rave reviews but disappointing sales — hardly a shock when you take into account the GBC was on its last legs — but the...
About The Game
Shantae embarks on her first full HD adventure! When a mysterious crime wave sweeps Sequin Land, it's up to Half-Genie Hero Shantae to save the day!

- Shantae's trademark moves return! Dance to transform into all-new and classic creatures, or summon magical attacks! Over a dozen dances to discover in all!
- New Relic System allows players to unlock new powers and customise moves for Shantae and her many forms!
- Conquer arcade-style action stages that unfold into a full world to explore. Fast action and quest-style exploration rolled into one!
- When Shantae's story ends, you're just getting started! Purchasable DLC modes introduce new characters, levels, and bosses!
- Huge bosses, humorous dialogue, and the wonderfully weird Shantae cast return, now in fully-animated HD!

I've loved Shantae since she got her start on GBC, and I'm a paid backer of this game, but the hair-whipping attack originated with Kabuki Quantum Fighter for the NES!
Sounds like we're getting a prequel? All the more reason to own a Wii U. But seriously? Shantae and the Pirate's Curse isn't even out yet! Not that I'm complaining...
Supporters have pledged more than US$920,000 but the kickstarter page still hasn't updated the goals (it lists the additional chapter that was unlocked at 800k).
I do hope for full voice acting (at 1.1M) to be unlocked.
Omg I can't wait for it!!!
I've followed Shantae since the GBC version, and all of the installments. The series was fantastic. I can't wait for the game. I've played the demo, really good.
Just checked my Amazon pre-order. Delayed another week to December 20. Not sure this is gonna happen in 2016 . . . .
Anybody else enjoying this game with their KS codes yet? I don't see it available in the eShop, but code was successfully redeemed and playing it right now on Wii-U. I've finished the Mermaid stage and this game really wastes no time kicking you into the action....
PS:I'm gonna buy a physical copy to keep sealed...
Will there be a physical version for europe?
@Ngamer did you get a confitmation to this question yet?
@eK1mus no not yet...
Just picked it up today, love it so far, really good stuff
