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.

Looks interesting, and I like the art style. COME ON FUN

HyperSonicEXE · **Reply #2 on:** March 07, 2009, 02:51:37 AM

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.

I feel we're related.

Day one for me!

Whatever this is, this definitely gets a load of WANT attached to it.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #6 on:** March 07, 2009, 09:06:12 AM

Well of course she has a powerful scepter. She has a Red SORRY! piece attached to the top!

True but why does it look tiny?

Align · **Reply #8 on:** March 07, 2009, 03:10:20 PM

Never seen her or the name before in my life. Going to need some more details before I get interested.

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~

Jericho · **Reply #13 on:** September 15, 2009, 10:27:37 PM

I hereby declare today & tomorrow to be the official Shantae appreciation days. Seriously, I am SO happy right now.

HyperSonicEXE · **Reply #14 on:** September 16, 2009, 03:13:42 AM

Probably want!

Gotham Ranger · **Reply #15 on:** September 16, 2009, 03:28:23 AM

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.

Oh wow, I don't think many people are gonna enjoy hearing that.

HyperSonicEXE · **Reply #17 on:** September 16, 2009, 03:52:49 AM

*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

HokutoNoBen · **Reply #18 on:** September 16, 2009, 04:07:26 AM

Yay, Shantae's back! ^____^

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.

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.

no disrespect to the purple haired gal herself, but im not really that excited. Specially with where its on.

Turian · **Reply #22 on:** October 29, 2009, 09:30:41 PM

Will someone please explain why this is so awesome? I want to care, but I don't. $:\$

HyperSonicEXE · **Reply #23 on:** November 05, 2009, 12:38:04 AM

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!

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

Jericho · **Reply #24 on:** November 05, 2009, 03:02:12 AM

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!

More teasing from WayForward. Speculation Ahoy!
