Hot off the trails of another popular kickstarter, the cool guys and gals at WayForward have started their own in the hopes of funding a brand new adventure for the whimsical, shimmying genie from Seaquin Land.

Link

The current funding amount asked is $400K, but as always everyone who's interested should always "aim big". Those stretch goals look fantastic. So do the right thing guys, support belly dancing, Metroidvanias and WayForward today!

Again with the Kickstarter? People are going to get tired of these fast.

There's nothing to get tired of if it's something people want/show interest in.

I'm liking the availability. Having this on PC, current-gen and next-gen systems is nice. :D

Pledged, commented and posted my drawing. Feels so good to see my sweet purple-haired "twin sister" in HD form. ~w~

Why isn't she delicious brown?

looks kinda pale.

Still looks nice regardless.

That theme music is insanely catchy...

If I get the spare cash to donate, gotta make sure it's enough for the soundtrack. 8)

I have to admit, I do question the wisdom of trying to gather funds for a fourth game before the third is out.  Still looks awesome, though.

I really like what I'm seeing. I've never really into the Shantae games before. Perhaps I should get on that. I think I got some funds on my 3DS.

Speaking of the GBC game, holy [tornado fang] do I hate this stupid A Rank Dancing game.

You pretty much need inhuman response time to get past A Rank. You're a split second off on your timing, and at the speed that's going you can't even afford to be that much off.

OH [parasitic bomb] IM USING LINK AND I ACCIDENTALLY FINAL SMASHED A CUCCO OH GOD HELP
Just enjoy yourself, don't complain about everything

Yeah the problem is I have the timing down then I [tornado fang] one button up and that's it.

I think I'll stick to B or C rank. Its not like A rank wins me any sort of special prize.

Yeah, exactly. I don't bother with A Rank for the same reason.

Looks like they fixed her skintone.

Donations are moving slowly. Probably because most people blew their money on MNo9 already.

Hopefully next month will bring a boost towards the end. When everyone got their money.

I gonna have to contact James Montagna again later. He was (and still is) the map/level designer for the Shantae games, responsible for A Boy and his Blob remake, and also created the video trailers for games (with a video capture device), and other design projects. He's in my 3DS friend list. ~w~

They made a big mistake following Mighty No. 9 by anything less than 2 months. Everyone's attention is on that right now, and their money too.

Two projects this big cannot compete in the same space. They're basically both highly praised retro revivals. However, against Inafune coming forth with a successor to Megaman? WayForward is simply not going to win that one.

I really hope this does go through though. My friends can tell you I'm a really huge Shantae fan, and it's the only reason I didn't completely regret buying a full priced 3DS after they cancelled Legends 3. Likewise I eagerly await the next one to release on the handheld. I'll be throwing my money at this Kickstarter in hopes it'll somehow, some way, make that goal and then some, but I'm not in a position to really dish out that much right now.

Oh, and, I hear Shantae is getting her tan back thankfully. Glad to see people were vocal about that.

Yea, I know both you and I were hoping for the "Vixylicious" stats-changing costumes. >U<
