Half Genie Hero had some of the best visuals I've ever seen but I found it incomplete and overly linear. There are six short levels while the other games had dozens. They probably ran out of money after making those gorgeous animations.
Pirate's Curse is a friggin masterpiece tho. Probably the best metroidvania I've played in my life.
Talk more about Shantae games. It's a great series.
lol. In other words, "I think feminism is a load of shit but I'm honestly terrified of crossing you so here are some bullshit explanations to get you off my back." If the Mary Sue asked me for an interview about anything I'd tell them to eat shit and I hope Honey Badger Radio legally takes all of their money.

The thing is Bozon gets it. He nailed the female centric cast because he wanted to create something that worked rather than shoving political bullshit down people's throats.
Benjamin Morales
He wanted to make a rad game full of hot chicks, so he did. And even in the current year avoided SJW dogpiling.
The best Shantae game is on this week's Humble Bundle. Be sure to set the sliders so all money goes to the Shantae devs and Hopoo games.
I liked the original N a decade ago. Are the creators filthy fucking SJWs like most are?
Lucas Fisher
Most of the animations are great but the jump animation is really stiff for some reason. Pretty weird since it's the thing you'll be seeing the most while playing a platformer

Also, Pony Island is a faggoty hipster game that pretends to be SO DEEP and META by doing that fake hacking shit. Also, the plot twist is that you're dead, or something, and Satan has trapped your soul by attaching it to some faggoty half-baked pony game. The "true ending" is that you, in real life, are supposed to load your save file onto a flash drive and never delete it so Satan can't get free.

The original is probably still my favorite. I didn't like how Pirate's Curse was divided into separate islands. Shame, too, because the upgrades in that game just work much better than Shantae's dances. Though I do wish the dancing minigame would make a return. A DDR sub-game would be a fun distraction.

Pirate's Curse isn't actually that great of a metroidvania. You've got several small maps instead of one big explorable one, all the major upgrades are in explicit dungeon zones, and there are several times you have to go back to an area you've already been because it's arbitrarily changed for no explicit reason just so you can trigger some event. Pirate's Curse is the better overall game, but even the original game on gbc was a better metroidvania.
Nathaniel Morales
I'll give you that m8. There's a lot of pointless backtracking in the game that would have been better served by just transporting the player to the place they need to be to eliminate tedious guesswork.
Thomas Garcia
Even the original Shantae isn't much of a metroidvania. I'd say it's more like a zelda game; you have an overworld which connects dungeons where you go to get upgrades and plot items. A lot of people seem to have got it into their heads that these games are metroidvanias, but they really aren't.

Samuel Robinson
You see, though, there isn't much difference between Zelda and Metroid in the first place. The most visible difference is the perspective you play at. Metroidvanias are pretty much exclusively side-scrolling, while Zelda-likes are generally overhead. You can say Zelda-likes have explicit dungeons, but many metroidvanias are set up with one "hub" area and several areas, that might as well be dungeons, branching off. That's almost exactly how the first Metroid is set up.
Owen Johnson

Charles Lewis

Lincoln Edwards
So I can't help but feel like a lot of this was rushed towards the end. The final level felt really short, last boss was just looked unfinished (that fucking rotating shield with the missing third looked like a pretty bad effect, they should have at least polished the looks of it) I feel like we should have had a final level in the corrupted Genie Realm. Also Hypno Barons castle was another wasted level, great song but once you got past the teleporting doors it's a fucking cakewalk to get to the damn door, only good part were the damn Mega Man blocks but even those could be easily bypassed with Bat form.
The only area you really needed to explore was the mermaid waterfalls, the location that set the bar really high but none of the following ones matched.

Yup. Wasted potential. Half Genie Hero is beautiful but incomplete.

Julian Murphy
There were plenty of mexican goths when I was in high school
Brandon Cooper
I just beat Half-Genie Hero. 100% completion in like 8.5 hours & I found everything myself so there was plenty of wandering around.
It felt shorter than the other games. There were abilities/transformations that you only really use one time. I think they needed more levels/areas so those additions wouldn't be wasted on a one-off areas like the bat sonar or the spider. Also, maybe they should have saved the Mermaid boss for later since it was quite a spectacle. Seems like something you'd have later in the game.
I never played the Gameboy Shantae to completion, but I played the others & my favorite of them is Pirate's Curse. The pirate gadgets are creative & fun to use; challenging as well. Plus the story elements were cute. Such as interactions with Risky & Rottytops (especially in the Village of Lost Souls). Pirate's Curse is still best Shantae game IMO.
Kevin Jones
Also when Shantae has her magic inverted & becomes evil I was expecting an internal boss fight between good & bad. I know it's cliche to fight an evil version of yourself, but that was the perfect opportunity to do it & it would have been fun.
James Perez
That whole part of the story seemed completely pointless. I was expecting something like what you were but nothing really happened. It was just weird.
Leo Smith

It would have been very predictable for sure. The situation just resolves itself with no player interaction though so it doesn't make much sense to be in there.
Josiah Mitchell
oh fuck
Brayden Reyes
I was expecting an murder rampage on the whole town while shantae screams at you to stop, but like the whole fake genie rival thing, I was disappointed
Tyler Gonzalez
Is that true? I dunno anything about belly dancing. I merely offered an example to rebuke your assertion that when clearly the girl in that video has taken belly-dancing classes & isn't belly-dancing slowly.

I wonder if this groups know what happens when you play Pirate's Curse (on the 3DS) with the stereoscopic 3D turned on . . .
Cameron Rivera
Hey welcome to MMDs, have a complimentary jerky poorly animated anime girl jerking around to a miku song and an autistic, rabid, drooling fanbase.
Xavier Richardson
A shorter linear shantae game could have still worked if they had gotten the pacing right. They're ducktales remake was a pretty good example of that one.
It has sort of the same problems a movie spinoff of a long running series has. They had a higher production budget, but they wanted to do justice to the most popular parts of the series so they didn't take it anywhere new. The fact that all of Shantae's voiced lines were here saying the names of recurring characters is kind of annoying as well.

Julian Mitchell
I don't think so. It's been a long time since I played MML, but I remember his movement were not the most fluid thing you could think of, and it makes sense because Volnutt used a gun, Shantae must go mostly close quarters. So movement is crucial. Bayonetta was an example because, while she use guns too, it is in a much more acrobatic way. Probably I should have said something like Nightshade or Ninja Gaiden. Hell, If they decided to go 3D with Shantae, something that might actually happen IMO if Yooka Laylee does well, which games could be used as good examples of how to do action-platform in 3D right?
Aiden Martinez
Those faces do not work well in 3D. Dem midriffs though

Lincoln Gutierrez
Jak & Daxter and Ratchet and Clank. Honestly, I think Jak & Daxter is a really good fit for Shantae.
Anthony Wood
Ko Takeuchi has made fan art and Ken Sugimori talked about Shantae in a tweet. That's neat.
Also, here's an image from a drawthread.
Justin Cox
As much as i hate to say this the game felt lack luster compared to Pirate's Curse, some of the plot like the rival genie being just "a memory" was a wasted effort and felt like it shouldn't have been that way, the backtracking for some transformation abilities felt unnecessary since some like the bat sonar and spider venom are pretty useless and you only use them once, i just hope Risky's Mode isn't just all the previous stages with just Risky slapped on it because i want to see what she's been of to off screen.
Aiden Jackson
I think Wayforward mentioned once that they entertained the idea of a 3rd person perspective game before? The problem was Shantae's hair, in that it obscured absolutely everything else, and you'd basically just be looking at a mass of purple for most of the game.
If they didn't, then there's that.
Oliver Foster

Carson Richardson

Camden Myers
No telling you are lying user, but it makes no sense at all. It all depends on how you implement the camera and the stages. We already had many games were the protagonist uses a whip like weapon and are in 3D with platforming, even if much more limited.
Not in 3D models for the games, I think. But, faces like her can be modeled better. Just look at games like Splatoon or Senran .
Lucas Wright
i already saved it, stay mad
Nathaniel Sanders
fucking hideous. the first 3d pics were better but if you want an example of how shantae might look in 3d just use the smash mockup and save your eyes.
Josiah Jones
Sorry user, but I don't want to "save my eyes" with fake 3D, I want to have a good idea of how it would be with polygons instead of sprites. It is a nice pic, but not what we need.
Ian Stewart
Another interesting version.
Tyler Walker
Nigger I wrote the OP myself
Landon Kelly
I think he just means in idle and movement animations. With the camera behind Shantae, you would just see her long, flowing hair most of the time. You'd have to position the camera well overhead to get anything else. You'd have to do something like Mario 3D World, where the camera is in a fixed position that is dependent on where you are in the level. However, if they wanted to do a traditional 3D plaltformer, with wide open stages that are very explorable, that kind of camera doesn't work. You'd have to do something like Other M or Castlevania Lament of Innocence, with largely simple, small corridors and rooms connected together, which may not be what they envision for a 3D Shantae.
Ayden Russell

nah, it's alright. Certainly not as good as Pirate's Curse, but that's a tough act to follow. You start backtracking pretty early in the game, so don't be surprised. There's a total of 5 levels with one final area which you only play through once. The Green Crystal, Red Crystal and backdash items are useless, don't bother buying the backdash. The one thing that did make me a bit upset is the minimal use of best girl.
