I've not played the Shantae series, but I've heard nothing but good things about it. I've seen reviews of the DS game not just as good for a DSiWare game, but as a good game in its own right and maybe now would be the right time to play catch up.

Definitely backing this! It looks amazing, and as VS said...I've heard really great things about the series. Time to dig in :)

Well I hope a Steam release means MacOSX will be covered.

I WANT MY FACE IN THIS GAME
but I don't have the required $2500...

I'm gonna start my own kickstarter to get the $2500 to give to the Shantae kickstarter to get my face in the game.

Who wants in???

I'd back in a heartbeat if there were going to be a DRM free version, but unfortunately it looks like that won't happen. Such a shame, because I love Wayforward, but I'm not willing to buy digital games with DRM. Either I get a DRM free digital copy, a physical copy, or I pass.

I asked them about a Linux version and they replied that right now they are exclusively focusing on Steam for Windows, but that they "might" consider a Linux/Mac version later.

You guys are missing the most important fucking part. Why does she look white?

It is really weird that her skin complexion has lightened up so much. Continuity problem!

I may write WayForward technologies about this, it's already really weird that Hollywood and television pull this kind of shit, but for video games to join the trend…

Different game, man. There are now four Shantae games:
Shantae (Game Boy, 3DS VC)
Shantae: Risky's Revenge (DSiWare)
Shantae and the Pirate's Curse (upcoming 3DS eShop)
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero (Windows, PS3/4, XB360/1, WiiU)

The Kickstarter is for an entirely different game than any of the ones you can get on 3DS.

They said they realize the community wants it darkened, so they'll make her more mid-eastern ish.

Risky's Revenge is also on iOS, not sure if it's on Droid. I have it and it's pretty good. I wish I picked up the GBC game now because of how expensive it goes for, thankfully it'll be one of the games I'll pick up on the 3DS.

They said that models haven't been finalized yet. There's bee outcry in the kickstarter comments and it'll be corrected.

Risky's Revenge just got greenlight on Steam so there's a PC version now.

Donate $10,000 to get a physical copy.

I was under the impression that the $10,000 physical copy was for a sealed copy of Shantae on Game Boy Color, but I could be mistaken.

Either way, if I had 10 grand I'd blow it on booze and beef jerky.

If they'd just release the whole series on GOG I'd buy them all. Twice.

GOG fucking rules.

I'd play this if it finds its way to the 3DS... or maybe Wii U if that's not the case.

I checked and it is for the GBC game. My bad.

Fans can always ask WayForward if they can release the game on GoG as well.
