Risky's Revenge was fun if a bit short, but there are a dozen or so desicions that make everything much more frustrating than it needs to be.
How is Pirate's Curse? Is going back to the original GB game worth it?
Pirate's Curse plays best out of all them to date, so go for it.
The original GBC game is pretty damn clunky, but it stll has its charm, I suppose.

Pirate's Curse is generally agreed to be the best out of the three currently out. Abilities are more "traditional" due to story reasons and the level design is split up into segregated islands connected by an area select, which cuts down on backtracking significantly.
GBC is a bit cumbersome at first, but still enjoyable.
The original GB game is good, pretty impressive for a GB game, but it does have some odd design choices. For instance, the overworld seems to have been purposefully made so you can't quickly run areas you've previously been through. Unskippable enemies and segments that require you to transform to get past abound. This is made worse by the fact the game will make you run towards one end of the world and then to the other to progress, also the world doesn't really loop like it says in the manual. Well, technically it does but there's a part you can only get past with the very last transformation so it might as well not loop. Also, transforming requires a couple seconds of dancing which gets old fast, specially when you're running over the same area for the hundredth time and just want to get it over with fast. Oh, and warp squids have to be unlocked by getting missable collectibles instead of being automatically unlocked when you get to them.
Pirate's Curse is cool and all but I found it to be kinda short unless you're interested in speedrunning and no damage on bosses the whole thing.
I hope the next game gives us more bang for our bucks.

Are there any sidequests at all? There were a few times when I went out to explore, and found some item, expecting it topart of a sidequest, but every single time it turned out I needed it in the main story, which was dumb.

Playing the original GBC game is almost a must, as its amazing how the game even exists. A fucking open world night day cycle metroidvania zeldalike on a fucking GBC. It takes time to get used to the small "fov" but listen, you need a walktrough. Just play it with a walktrough and your fine.
Pirate's Curse is like Risky's Revenge but better in every possible way, perfect sequel. Little longer too.

Not really. I suppose you could count Cacklebat collecting as a sidequest, but you need to do that anyways if you want the actual final boss. There's also thehidden "dungeon" and enemy rush room, but those aren't really sidequests.

Shantae is cute!
>>344751214
that's not REAL cute
Why does Risky's Revenge get so much hate? People always rate it the lowest and sometimes encourage others to skip it but I really can't remember anything being terrible in it.

fuck you buddy

It's short and kinda underwhelming, mainly due to DSiWare restrictions. It doesn't do anything particularly bad, other than relying on backtracking across the map to pad out the game a bit.

Did they ever get around to releasing the director's cut version on 3DS?
>>344751951
Apparently they ran into some issues with porting it back to the 3DS. I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.
>>344752207
Welp, that sucks. Never mind.
>>344751062
They are being far from shit but yeah, PC is the best of them no doubt.
>>344752283
They insist that they're still working on it. For all we know, it could be out next week going by their history of releasing stuff with little to no heads-up time.
Case in point.
