Anyone up for a Shantae thread? Other WayForward games are fine, too.
Why is Risky's Revenge Shantae so angry all the time?
Pirate's Curse Shantae was so lovely.
>>336245461
That's cause in Pirate's Curse, the stakes weren't that personal, and she was trying to turn Risky into a possible friend.
>>336245461
She knows she's in the worst game of the series.
>>336248338
I'd let her try out my monster milk if you know what I'm saying, ahurr, ahurr.
last thread was deleted and a bunch of people were banned so don't even think of posting lewds
>>336248856
Nothing lewd here.
How would fellow anons tier the Shantae games?
From the best to the worst?
I live within a 7 mile radius of Wayforawrd. Tell me why I should work there. What's the appeal of Shantae? On what game do I start?
>>336249282
Pirate's Curse > Shantae > Risky's Revenge
>>336249282
Personally: Shantae > Pirate's Curse > Risky's Revenge, though Pirate's Curse is a much better game for someone to simply get into, and the first Shantae game often loses points for a couple of flaws that hurt it for some. Risky's Revenge is basically the product of rushing an incomplete game into completion. It was planned to be much bigger taking advantage of chapters and such, but it ended up being what it is now.
>>336249282
Pirate's Curse is definitely the best.
Having a hard time choosing which of the other two get second place.
>>336244092
She looks much better with fair pale skin
>>336251109
Playing Pirate Curse on ps4, having a blast.
update when
>>336249479
Can't say anything on why you'd want to work there, I suppose it might have a good work atmosphere, but the appeal of Shantae is probably her design being both cute and fun, as well as all the characters and how they make the game enjoyable to play through even without the gameplay.
The best game to start would probably be the first one, since each game, for the most part, builds upon the last, and it's the one that started it all, or Pirate's Curse, since the gameplay it has differentiates from the rest, and the game does well not to alienate people who haven't played the rest.
These are pretty cool sketches. What are they from?
I can't believe mn9 is coming out before shantae

Actually in the last update WF said that they expect the game to be ready to release in July.

>>336244092
I want to worship Shantae's butt.

>>336252930
Sauce?
>>336252554
>>dancing required timed button presses
All you needed to do was have the button pressed when before the meter looped, and all the (transformation) dances were two button combinations.
>>that fucking Rottytops race
took about a couple of tries if you weren't totally retarded
>>DELIBERATELY GIVING YOU THE WRONG DIRECTIONS
I'll give you this, but even then your Metroidvania instinct should've pushed you to go explore leftwards anyways.
>>336253018
They said it wouldn't be delayed anymore in October of last year. Guess what happened.
>>336252554
Because getgud.
Once you memorize them, dancing is quick
The minigame is easy money and fits with the aesthetic of the game, if you didn't like it there was the gambling mini game
The race was easy once you know what to do
and I have to give you that, the wrong directions weren't deliberate, that really was an error.
>>336253409
Nice job dumbass, now the thread's going to get deleted again. Thanks a lot for ruining legitimate discussion of this game series.
>>336253159
>help I am literally a baby with no rhythm, motor skills, or critical thinking
You could have just said so.
>>336253521
>>336253262
Okay then, explain why Risky's Revenge is so terrible with points that can't be defended like the way you're defending the GBC game.
>>336252554
>dancing required timed button presses
Dancing requires good timing and rhythm? You don't say.
>dance minigame was shit
It's a minigame. You aren't required to play it.
>that fucking Rottytops race
Git gud faggot. It took three tries at most unless you were completely fucking retarded.
>DELIBERATELY GIVING YOU THE WRONG DIRECTIONS
I'll give that one to you. At least Wayforward acknowledged it in Risky's Revenge by poking fun at themselves.
>there will never be a SSS sequel or remake
Psyme was best purple.
>>336253582
They're not gonna throw a whole thread for one post they can delete.I hope.
>>336253849
RR isn't terrible because of mechanics. It's problem is that's really short.
>>336253849
Too short. If it was as long as it wanted to be, it would've been a top tier sequel.
>>336254069
So just because it's short it's automatically garbage and the worst game in the series? That's retarded.
>>336254206
Worst doesnt mean bad, the other games are just better with more content.
>>336253849
It's biggest complaint is the length. It's shorter than the first game. You would expect a sequel to be at least the same length. But this game was about half as long.
>>336253159
>>336252554
I don't see why you're making a big deal about the Rottytops race. It took me 3 tries on my first playthrough, whoop de doo.
Dance minigame was fine, you haven't even begun explaining why you think it's bad but I've only ever heard people say it's neat.
I dunno, Shantae 1 definitely has a lot of flaws but if you think they make it unplayable, I think it may just not be your kind of game to begin with.

The speedrun world record for Risky's Revenge is four minutes longer than the world record for the GBC game. That makes the GBC game faster to complete, therefore shorter.

Pirate's Curse > Shantae GBC > Risky's Revenge
What's the progress on Half-Genie Hero is it still coming out this year?
>>336255076
July.
>>336255076
>We should be content complete in about 2 months, with another month of testing after that. Also expect 3 weeks in there for translations and ratings too, which can only happen once we’re done making content. These things can overlap, but it doesn’t always work out that way which is why we can’t give a firm release date (yet). Our best guess is that we’ll be submitting to 1st parties (Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, and Valve) in July.
So, expect it to come out in September.
>>336255076
This July I think.
>>336255076
It'll be submitted sometime in July, which means a August release at best.

And I can beat System Shock 2 in less than 14 minutes. I guess it must be a way shorter game than any Shantae game.
Oh wait, my first playthrough of SS2 took about 15 hours, and most people report longer.
I don't know why I'm replying seriously I know you're just joking.

>>336254730
And I can beat super mario world in 15 minutes. That means it has levels and less content right than shantae, right?
>>336255979
>I can beat System Shock 2 in less than 14 minutes
Let me guess, you use a game-breaking glitch, right? Yeah, no. I'll believe you can beat it without any help from glitches or tools when I see it. Until then, the fact is that the GBC game is shorter.
>>336256121I didn't save it
>>336244092
Pirate's curse is on sale on the lowest tier Humble Bundle for WiiU and 3DS, if new folks are browsing the thread.
>>336256527

>>336256292
>arachnophobic yet love shantae
I'm so conflicted.
>>336256495
Considering this is based on going through the game without any unnecessary exploration, yes.
Unless, of course, you're admitting that Risky's Revenge isn't as short as you all say it is if you explore more.
>>336256669
>>336256669
Spiders are your friends.
>>336256642
fuck happened to her leg?
>>336256728
But we are talking about overall content. The first game had more content. Risky's Revenge could have been much longer and should have been much longer. Other than that it was a good game.
>>336256669
Once a spider is a spider-girl, dick trumps fear.
>>336256524
Dude I already acknowledged that you're joking, you're just running it into the ground at this point.
>>336256885
The amount of content in Risky's Revenge seemed perfectly fine to me. Of course WF have said that the game was meant to be longer, but that doesn't automatically mean the game has too little content.
>>336256580
Worth getting most certainly you get Shantae on both platforms, Retro City Rampage on 3DS and Affordable Space Adventures on Wii U.
>>336257150
When you're in the boat on Wii-U (probably on both, really), there's a little captain's wheel you can turn to choose the island. And you can choose items on the fly without pausing thanks to the pad.
I have to say I'm really glad I have it on Wii-U now.
>>336257386
Both of those are in the 3DS version. The only thing that the Wii U version has over the 3DS version is a bigger screen and HD portraits. And the portraits use 3D on the 3DS anyway.
>>336257725

(Risky Revolution>)Shantae>Pirate's Curse>Risky's Revenge
I like the dancing, minigames, items, fighter's gear, dungeons, Risky Boots and the world map the most in the original. It feels vast. There were a lot of elements to explore. It has problems, sure, but they never were that big a deal for me.
PC is fast, fun, streamlined, charming and the easiest to get into. I miss the dancing and transformations. I guess that's what it comes down to.
I like RR and it was my first, but its shortness and frequent fetch quest backtrack padding hurt it for me, since the world was small. It's a bit bland storywise too. Still charming.
(The GBA one gets high because it looked beautiful, had more transformations, Risky's scheme was just cool and the the Autumn dungeon, which would've been my favorite in the franchise, was wonderful. And well the mind always thinks the grass is greener on the other side.)
>>336258746
Oh baby, water effects make me wet
>>336258775

I mean we've had these threads for ages, and there's no new topics. And you're mistaken, I wasn't the one posting the art.
>>336259157
Just because there's no "new topics" doesn't mean that there's nothing to discuss.
In fact, Wayforward announced that Half Genie Hero is being submitted for release in July, so there is plenty of reason to talk about the game. And there will be even more once it releases.
>>336259446
Then quit your bitching and discuss what you want to discuss. If you aren't able to have discourse with someone about it you're only proving my point.
>>336259872
There won't be anyone to discuss with if everyone is moaning about how there's nothing to discuss and just posting pictures. People like you are to blame for the problem that you're complaining about yourself.
>>336260106
Tough titties. Posting fanservice for a series prominently featuring fanservice is a reality you need to cope with.
You can have discussion alongside it just fine, as has been the case since the beginning of Shantae discussion on /v/.
Am I crazy or did they plan a PS2 game at some point? I remember reading about it but all I can find is discussion of Risky Revolution and Risky Waters.
>>336260351
You just said there's not much to discuss. Now you're completely changing direction.
>>336260423
The only scrapped game I'm aware of was the GBA game.
>>336260423
They had a 3D tech demo at one point. Matt said it controlled similarly to Banjo-Kazooie and the like.
>>336260536
I just hypothetically entertained the idea that you have something to talk about. If you're able to find a subject and discuss it, do it. If not, well, I guess I was right.
>>336260574
They cancelled a DS game because they couldn't find a publisher. They haven't said much about it but I'm sure most of the assets were used for Risky's Revenge. And then there's what I was talking about, or at least what I remembered hearing.
>>336260580
Ah, I thought I heard "PlayStation 2" somewhere along the way, but I guess it was GameCube. I could've sworn it was more than a tech demo at one point, but you can't argue with what Matt said himself, I suppose.
>>336260696

>>336260580
God I hope they have a chance to make a game like that one day. With a Hat in Time and Yooka-Laylee hopefully bringing 3d platformers back, I don't think it's so far-fetched for there to be a 3d Shantae at some point.

I definitely agree about Shantae 1. I do like PC more, but Shantae 1 has so many things that I hope make a return, or have something comparable, in HGH. Something like the Fighter's Gear moves have so much potential.

>>336262209
Glad you could remain an annoying pest bitching about how there's nothing to discuss despite contributing to it yourself.
>>336261169
I'm really digging this guy's stuff.
>>336262587
Yeah, but a game series' fundamental nature isn't necessarily tied to its perspective. Metroid Prime and the 3d Zeldas show that well. Actually, considering that I've always thought of the original Shantae as being similar to a Zelda game, it could work well with a similar transition to 3d.
Still, I'm not really counting on it happening.
>>336262587
No joke. They'd really have to get lucky to make that as golden as 2D.
I've never been big on 3D platformers for that reason.

It's not that I don't think the gameplay can transition well, but rather I don't think WF really has the manpower to do it. On top of that, WF's 3D output isn't really been that great. Til Morning's Light is their best looking pure 3D game, but they had external help with that one.
>>336262587
It's harder to make environments look as rich as in 2D for sure, and to me the richly detailed scenery one of the nice things about Shantae. I don't know if it would be quite possible to translate that well to 3D.
I played Pirate's Curse and it was okay, will I enjoy the other two?
>>336264478
Risky's Revenge, yeah; Shantae might frustrate you.

Anyway, I absolutely love Shantae. Playing it was one of my earliest gaming memories at school. A friend let me play it on his GBC because I really wanted to try it out. I could never learn how to transform though, so I would end up stuck after I freed the genie. Years later, I got the game on an emulator, and I FINALLY figured out how to transform and it was so freaking awesome to experience that for the first time. Then the rest of the game was mine for the taking..
Though the challenges this game brings aren't to be taken lightly. It's a lot of fun to play through and I'm so glad I decided to pick it up again after so long
>>336271578
Oh boy....
What do Shantae's feet smell like? What do theytaste like?
>>336274650

Monkey Shantae is not for lewd!
Back during the kickstartted people asked if Shantae's pants would be semi-transparent like the artwork frequently is. They said if the goals got met they would since they'd be drawing Shantae's legs for the other costumes and it would be simple to implement. Have they said anything else on it since then? Based on the most recent preview images it hasn't happened.

Well, there are alternate costumes in, so I guess it should be that way. But yeah, the from footage that's out there, it doesn't seem to be the case. What a shame.

Oh shit they're doing a Grumpcade playthrough with Ray who left Achievement Hunter a while ago. How unlikely.
Now Imagine Michael, Gavin, Arin, and Danny in the same room playing fucking Mario Party or Super Smash Bros. Shit would be crazy.
