Is it wrong that I just found out I could get around $1500 for my boxed copy of Shantae and still wouldn't sell it? At the time it was released I couldn't believe how hard it was to find, I'd been following its development for some time and I always thought it would be a big release when it dropped. I had no idea just how lucky I was to find that one last copy at eb games.
My wife and I absolutely LOVE this game! I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in Canada it was dang hard to find in stores, though. There were 2 copies in only one store in our entire town - perhaps if there had been more stock in the first place, the sales figures would've been much better?
"Let's hope the Virtual Console version is as good as we remember it!"
..oh, it is! I still have my original and still pick it up to play from time to time. The game is a work of art, and I'm glad to see it finally get the attention it deserves by becoming readily accessible to everyone.
@Joshers744 I couldn't believe they'd really only leave it up for the one day either, so I did some hunting.. It's not directly linked from maps.google anymore, but (for now) you can still get to it from this link: http://maps.google.com/?t=8&utm_campaign=8bit&utm_source=yt
My eyes grew wider and wider with disbelief and joy as I read the summary of this article! Epic Mickey? 3DS?? 2D platformer???? Monster Tale developer???????? Seriously, this is exciting stuff!!
Now that I'm "all grown up" I've learned to be patient when I'm waiting for things to come out.. but for this one, I'm having a very difficult time - reading this review makes it even harder still! 2 more days........
Awesome, hopefully as PSICoffee said, this will somehow lead to Retro Game Challenge 2 coming this-a-way! (Or maybe a future 3D sequel?) A guy can dream.

Re: Code To Unlock Contrary Serperior In Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Is Revealed
Just tried it in Canada, no dice. It's not even the right length, but appears to pad itself with zeroes when you submit it.
Re: This Year of Luigi Diorama Brings a Dark Moon to Club Nintendo

Re: GameStop Advert Offers A Link Between Worlds 3DS XL and Luigi Bundle

Re: Weirdness: Just How Much Cash Do You Need To Buy The Legend Of Zelda's Hyrule Castle?
Neat, but what does that work out to in Hyrulean Rupees? My wallet can only currently hold 999.
Re: South Korea Is Getting Animal Crossing: New Leaf Before North America And Europe
Is this because of Gangnam Style? I guess they did earn an early release when they gave us that.
