Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Is A Whole Lot Of Fun
The fourth installment of WayForward Technologies’ Shantae series launches today, and the half-genie’s latest shape-shifting platforming adventure looks as good as it plays.
It's The Perfect Time For Some 2D Platforming
Massive open-world 3D games are lovely, but watching presentations for dozens of them over the course of three days is exhausting. The trailer for the latest installment of Wayforward Technologies’ Shantae series is exactly the refreshment I need.
An Adventure Game Built For The Apple Watch
Did you panic last week and stay up late to preorder a first-generation Apple Watch like some idiot? Me too. And here comes developer Wayforward Technologies to mildly justify it with Watch Quest.
Wayforward has released their last Shantae platformer, Risky's Revenge, on PC. The game, which originally came out on the DS in 2010, comes with updated, HD artwork, Steam trading cards and achievements, and controller support. The two new Shantae games, Half-Genie Hero and The Pirate's Curse, are still in development.
Don't Forget: There's Another Hair-Whipping Platformer On The Way
It's easy to lose sight of the next Shantae game with all the hoopla over the next-next one, but developer Wayforward is here to remind us (with a trailer, no less) that Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is still very much a thing.
These Guys Want To Bring Their Classic Platformer To HD Consoles
Everyone's favorite half-genie belly dancer looks pretty good in HD. Shantae, the star of games like Shantae and Shantae: Risky's Revenge, wants to hair-whip her way to HD platforms, and the developers at WayForward are asking for $400,000 to make that happen.
Looks like we're getting a new Shantae game, called Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. GoNintendo's got the details.
