Shantae and the Pirate's Curse Delayed Into 2014

Well, that is a big timeframe. I will then have time to finally download and play any of the Shantae games.

Well, more time to polish up the game then. That also gives me more time to finish up the list of my backlog for this year. Anyway, still a day one purchase from me, I loved RR and thought the first one was decent enough.

I'm not really disappointed I knew it wouldn't come out this year with only two Thursdays left in the year.

I'm not disappointed, I've yet to finish the other titles in the series. Hopefully I rectify that before this one releases.

No one should be surprised at this time of the year.

It's still odd to think that this game was revealed in the second-to-last issue of Nintendo Power!

I'm not not disappointed, since I've really been looking forward to this one. But I have lots of other things to play right now and more development time means a better finished product, so I'm glad they're not rushing it.

@Luigifan141 I don't recall if it was their wish or Nintendo Power's, but they announced it a lot earlier than they would have precisely so it could make the second-last issue.

All the indies are being pushed back into 2014 and it makes alot of sense.

Do whatcha need to WF - there are a ton of releases out right now, and the game's gotta be good, really hit that sweet spot in the middle of Shantae's hardcore exploring and RR's pacing.

Schucks - Shantae was my most wanted for the entire year... Now everything is trying to claim my cash at once when the next year begins! T_T

It's nice that they gave themselves a huge window instead of promising a specific month they may not deliver on.

2014 = Year of Shantae.

was really hoping for a december release

I'm a little disappointed, but kind of relieved with the recent surge of new games with the Sega 3D games and a couple of NES ones that I still have to pick up plus the up coming Super Mario 3.

;_;

It's good it is getting polished but I've been waiting for this, haha! Will make it even better when it is finally released, since I've finished and loved the first two games.

More time, more probability they polish that game

If they made a disscount for Christmas of the Shantae game for DSiware I would buy it in an instant.

Darrrrn

I certainly hope they take their time with it, for the specific purpose of polishing the game, & making it better; final finer details, & all. Further, I hope it isn't being backburner'd to the point of final product quality degradation by the Kickstarter HGH project. What a mess that would be! Anyway, this gives me time to d/l RR, & save points for this too, as I eventually spent my Pirate's Curse savings, save but about $1, & a 1/2.

I can live w/ this. I just hope it means a better product, & I more, or less knew that it wasn't coming this year, unless they were quietly done w/ it(development).

How is this pushed back? The date on Nintendo's website has been Winter 2013 for a while. It's no surprise that it may be pushed into 2014 with the vague "Winter" date.

I have been waiting for this game for quite a while. Now i have to wait for another few months agian. Ugh

I was saying that there is no delay. The game already had a vague Winter date.

"...eagerly anticipating Shantae And The Pirate's Curse from WayForward..."
That's me.

So, does anyone know when Retro City Rampage is supposed to come to the 3DS eShop?

I actually expected the game to hit the eShop in 2014... I don't care, I have the Guild 01 games to finish first!

Sad, but it'll be worth the wait!

I haven't played any of the Shantae games but I will definitely getting Pirates Curse. It looks excellent.

We waited all this time...just to find out it's been delayed. This game better be damn good if we're waiting this long. This is coming from someone who's only played Risky's Revenge. I want MORE!

I'm disappointed that the new article still says that this was a delay. It was listed as coming out in Winter 2013 quite a bit before this was posted at nintendolife. December is the only Winter month at the end of 2013, so Winter meant the December 2013-March 2014 timeframe. The tweet didn't even say that March was certain, just that it MAY release in March. Anyway, it has really been delayed now, though it's good they are working on giving it extra polish before release.
