Yeah, mostly reskins for Shantae but also playable Risky/Bolo/Sky/Rotty + story modes (I don't expect them to be anything too elaborate, though). Oh, and for backers an exclusive dance form.

Risky mode still isn't in, so yes.
I'm guessing backers will get Risky Mode, Costume DLC, and Sky/Bolo/Rottytops DLC's for free but will be for sale for normal purchases, and that if they do end up making the other tiers as dlc (extra chapters, animated cutscenes, voice acting) then THAT might be paid dlc, which I'd understand because that'd be a ton of extra work and outside the scope of what we funded.

I'm hoping risky plays like shantae in pirates curse, basically. I'm not sure if that's actually what they intend but I hope so.
That's exactly what they intend to do. We actually get a little preview of that in the game right now.

I just realized that the Nega Shantae section of the game was supposed to be much more like the rival Genie chapter but since we never reached the stretch goal it wasn't included. Pretty sad since it would have been cool.
This is the same feeling I get whenever I hear, months/years after release, that a beloved game was supposed to include something more but was excised due to time/money.

Final Shantae XV
I'm still upset about no voice acting though. I love Shantae's voice.

Says 8pm on the site (I assume that's Pacific time)

I don't see a time on that page, so I'll just assume you know what you're saying.
Backers now have access to the Half-Genie Hero Launch fan kit, which includes some hi-res character artworks and other assets for making, oh I don't know, OTs with or something.

So...
I just beat the game and had a blast. Except I'm pretty sure my name wasn't in the hacker credits... still really liked the game, just surprised my name wasn't there is all

Yeah mine wasn't either haha. I think maybe it's because I upgraded my back amount after the end of the Kickstarter but I haven't received a response from Wayforward yet.
I bumped into a similar glitch in my second pass of the desert temple (playing on PC). I used the
elephant
I came back after my second pass and tried to do the glitch again, but I couldn't make it glitch anymore.

I want to buy it so bad but I shouldn't. My backlog (as in the games I actually mean to play, not the graveyard that never gets touched) is killing me .

It's done. Sending the info to Caz later today once I get off work.
Unless you already got another one.

The characters are still sprites in this one. Not as blatantly, but they're still sprites.
I got super stuck because the game glitched and wasn't showing the
in Mermaid Falls.
Traveled to all the other levels trying to figure out what to do, looked online to see what to do (couldn't find anything), finally went back to Mermaid Falls, and bam, everything was showing properly.
Was pretty annoying.

Downloading the game as I post.
Still waiting for that OT
Still waiting for that OT
I see the current crop of HD animations being reused in future games ala Risky's Revenge => Pirate's Curse (with new ones introduced when appropriate). WayForward draws a lot of inspiration from the likes of Konami and Capcom, so I see them recycling from previous titles to help cut down on development time for future projects as just another one.
But 16-bit style sprites? Yeah, they're probably gone for good.

People have been datamining the game.
An unused dance animation:
Awesome. This is one of Shantae's original dances from the original game. It's too bad it didn't make it into the actual game. Maybe it can still show up in some DLC.
Fingers crossed. Seems like expanding the basic dance routine as she learned new forms would have been the way to go, right? Little details like that are always appreciated.
Nope, both coming at a later date.
No.
