Top 3 best speculations from me:

1.) The Luigi to Shantae's Mario?
2.) (Hopefully) A new platformer franchise main character?
3.) WayForward's first foray into RPGs this gen?

You decide. Either way, I'm hyped. AGAIN. 8)

Named after Grandma?

Alta - Tall, height
Shantae - Peaceful

Not related. Besides that, there are a ton of 3D models and other graphical designs made specifically for a Shantae game. I'd look for old, old games that WayForward made.

Yeah, I knew all of that already, I just felt like being spontaneous for the sake of it since this is a total wildcard in terms of speculations.

- Action on top screen
- Bottom screen shows preview of next room, and position Alta will warp to
- warp safely from room to room without getting crushed, falling or causing some other kind of issue
- traps, puzzles and more
- directed by Matt Bozon, Shantae’s daddy
- no release date/price point just yet, but they are expected to release this info before the DSi launches

And this looks like it could be the the game to look foward too when I get the DSi. Artwork's really nice and clean, especially the matching sprites~

Workshop/DA/YT/Photobucket なにかんがえてるの!?
So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

DSi exclusive?

Sorry, this game can go [tornado fang] right off. I'm not shoveling out 200 dollars to replace a handheld that still works perfectly fine as it is.

*shrug*

DSi gets Shantae, doesn't have Guitar Hero or GBA Mario ports.
Vice versa.

Just depends on what you want, man man man man man man man man man man man

Not sure where exactly to put this....

Anyway, my scanner's not working, so I can't provide pics, but I thought I'd bring this to your attention.

The newest issue of the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine has a brief section on a DSiWare Shantae game, "Risky's Revenge", I think it was. Apparently it's the first in an episodic series, and there's an interview with one of the dev team, too.

S'probably old news by now, but whatever.

My Twitch channel. Random streams during the week.

I have to agree here. Im not buying a DSi that really isnt worth it at all, when the DSLite still works good for me.
Plus its not a game im particularly excited about, so yeah. :P no disrespect to the purple haired gal herself, but im not really that excited. Specially with where its on.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Anyone got any tips for Shantae?

I'm playing it so I can get a lead-up to just what the new game/episodes are all about.

I've already beaten the first level and boss, but man, it seems like there's a lot of items to find and use, dancing doesn't do anything just yet, and just any useful advice beyond "Walk slowly; enemies love to pop up out of nowhere and do collision damage to you".

Story's good, although Risky Boots is a little...strange. It's like they made an Arabian Pirate Vampire Goth; they weren't sure WHAT they wanted! XD

[spoiler]And I looove Shantae's walking sprite. She's all, "I'm going to KICK SOMEBODY'S ASS for this."
Love it.[/spoiler]

Welcome to the awesome that is Shantae Aldo. Meanwhile, I must admit, I seem to have forgotten what to do there myself. Looks like I've got another game to replay again now!
