Shantae And The Pirate’s Curse For Wii U & 3DS eShop Releases In Europe And Australia On 5th February

"and will not be available in the US" .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W7c8QghPxk

Is this the one that's out in the US or a new new one?

The guys over on NWR love the last one that came out so might give it a shot

I'll buy it at some point because it's got pirates in the title......helps that people say it's good!

I've read reviews that the 3DS version is the definitive version. So I may skip the Wii U version and buy it after I get to finally buy a 3DS (New3DS).

I will be playing this on my white 'new'N3DS. money doesn't grow on trees dispite most bills being made from paper with cotton in them.
Can't we timeskip a few weeks? I want it already!

I'm not all that interested in getting this, because WayForward has yet to release Risky's Revenge in Australia. A one-game story gap in my collection is still a story gap regardless, and until it can be filled I don't have any interest.

BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER (slightly exaggerated )

I don't have an enormous amount of interest for the Shantae games, but I'll keep my eyes on this one.

I love the cross buy deals, but I think the 50% is the absolute max the developers should ask for buying the same game twice. I think it would be a nice way of asking 1-2ish dollars from customers, but when it goes close to a 10€, I will buy another, completely diferent game.

If there is a way to use universal save files, I wish they would become a standard soon.

How long does the offer last?

@GamerZack87 If you have Steam you will be able to buy it there.

FINALLY, been waiting for this for months now.

Will have to cancel a pre-order though but eh, Shantae is worth it.

Not exactly cross buy if it's just a discount.

@NaughtyOttsel22 That'd be neat, but I don't really use my PC for gaming. I mostly play games on my handhelds (DS lite, 2DS and, to a lesser extent, Vita), so the DSiWare version would be more to my tastes.

Also, I'm a bit put-off that WayForward didn't put in the effort to localise the DSiWare version of RR. They more or less said that it wasn't worth releasing it in Australia, as though we didn't matter enough to them. The fact that so many game publishers don't recognise Australia as an important gaming community is upsetting, as many of the people I know are gamers, and all of those people own at least one Nintendo console.

Dangit, why didn't this cross buy discount come to North America? I bought Shantea twice, and that was before the post-holiday Christmas sales. That's $40 for both copies...

@GamerZack87 - Or they could at least let you link up to the European eShop. We're the same region, after all.

@MetalKingShield That's true. I never understood why Australia and New Zealand has its own separate Nintendo eShop when the content is basically identical to Europe's and is released at the exact same time. All it would take is for the currency to localise and Bob's your uncle.

@hcfwesker its already out in the U.S isnt it?

Cool, not so much behind the North American release then. Lets see what price do they give to it. It should about 17 EUR here if they are fair. 20€ is highway robbery.

@YANDMAN Yup, but no double dip discount; which is what I was referring to

@GamerZack87 Giving Australians access to another region's eShop isn't an issue of currency, but ratings laws.

Risky's Revenge wasn't released here because the cost of applying for a rating here is likely more than they'd make in profit from the title at this point.

I still hope they release Risky's Revenge: Director's Cut on a Nintendo machine one day. Maybe on the next handheld?

@AVahne Still wish the US would get a discount above $5 off the 3DS game alone.
