New thread for new news!

 

[RocketDarkness]

Announcing an announcement.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Ducktales Vita get

 

[Azure J]

HD Shantae time?

HD Shantae time.

 

[hupla]

Really dont need to know about the KS before it even launches but im still excited for it! Wayforward makes pretty awesome games for no budget with very little time so being able to set their own budget (with the chance for more) and timeframe could be rad.

 

[CriterionDog]

HD Shantae time?

HD Shantae time.

whatever happened to that dsi/3DS one?

 

[Noisepurge]

if its 2D sprites, will back it.

 

[RocketDarkness]

whatever happened to that dsi/3DS one?

Apparently it's at PAX this weekend.

 

[NoirVisage]

as long as its not a beloved IP, I don't care what they do

 

[Macstorm]

Cat Girl Without Salad? Please.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

A stylized 2D metroidvania that plays like a mix of Zelda II and Skyrim.

 

[insignia16]

WAYFORWARRRD! I love you!!

Joking aside I'm interested in seeing what they're planning to work on next. An HD Shantae sounds like a great idea though

 

[Riki]

Very interested to see what this is!

 

[Gbraga]

Dragon Ball Z metroidvania

Spoiler

would back it

 

[NotLiquid]

I'm going to take a guess and assume it's the Shantae they once implied was being made for Wii U.

 

[majik13]

Apparently it's at PAX this weekend.

I have a feeling that wont be the final name...

 

[dallow_bg]

Will it be as good as their Centipede remake?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

A beautiful 2D game with a bunch of bizarre/stupid-ass design decisions holding it back

orrrrrr Contra 5/Shantae

Indie Games: The Sentence

 

[Ingueferroque]

It always bothers me when established developers cant seem to put their own money up for dream projects.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Shantae just got greenlit and there is no PC-Version yet. Guess it has something to do with that.

They even announced before they wont start developing a PC-Version if they dont get greenlit.

 

[Notorious_Roy]

Well, the Wikipedia has Mega Man Legends 3 listed as future title... That'd be the day. :lol

Mega Man Legends 3 (Summer 2014, Nintendo 3DS, Kickstarter)

 

[Jobbs]

Wayforward? I'm in. I'll pledge my nuts out, no need to even see what it is. Shantae is still my favorite game on my 3DS. Aliens Infestation is so good for a game no one would expect to be good at all. Contra 4 is the prettiest and best Contra game (IMO). All of WF's 2D games are beautiful.

My own KS ends on September 4. What an exciting day that's gonna be for multiple reasons now. I looove WF!

Their version of DuckTales was amazing IMO.

... Huh what?

 

[Phire Phox]

Everybody doing Kickstarter now

 

[Gameboy415]

I've loved just about every game WayForward has had a hand in so whatever this turns out to be, I'm in!

 

[Fuzzy]

Everybody doing Kickstarter now

It's so they can get fans to fund it all and they get to keep all the profits.

 

[Gannd]

Boy and his Blob2!!

 

[nckillthegrimace]

... Huh what?

Seems pretty farfetched, but there are a lot of weird things lining up. Probably just a coincidence because PAX is a popular time to announce stuff.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

It's probably something to do with Shantae.

Their version of DuckTales was amazing IMO.

I loved the game except for the new stages. They sort of missed the game's appeal.

 

[Coxy]

Would kickstart a new Sigma Star Saga

 

[Jobbs]

It's probably something to do with Shantae.

Basically. If it's not Shantae, I'll be surprised. And I love Shantae. Anyone who hasn't played Risky's Revenge is missing out on a wonderful, delightful game.

 

[Nabs]

I guess I could see a Shantae for PC/PSN, but I'd really like to see a new IP from WF.

 

[Sentenza]

They probably didn't expect to see Shantae actually accepted on Greenlight and, now that they are in, they need to actually work on it.

 

[Teknoman]

New IP please. No Shantae or Mighty...unless its Mighty Blast Force or something like a run and gun / Turricany.

 

[Buster Machine]

as long as its not a beloved IP, I don't care what they do

I kind of feel bad (but not really) that I came to this topic to make sure that they weren't doing anything I actually cared about.

 

[spliced]

That seems like a high level of hype just to announce a kickstarter to port a game to another platform.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Alien Infestation 2 please!

 

[duckroll]

If it's just Shantae on Steam, I can't really imagine it being "major". The way they phrased it, it sounds more like the next major thing from WayForward.

 

[Riki]

If it's just Shantae on Steam, I can't really imagine it being "major". The way they phrased it, it sounds more like the next major thing from WayForward.

Why would they need a Kickstarter to get it on Steam?

 

[Black Door]

That seems like a high level of hype just to announce a kickstarter to port a game to another platform.

If it is Shantae, I hope it's a new game and not "help us port the first game/Risky's Revenge to Steam!"

 

[Eusis]

Seems pretty farfetched, but there are a lot of weird things lining up. Probably just a coincidence because PAX is a popular time to announce stuff.

By itself Wikipedia's the single worst place to go for breaking news. No doubt a troll did that and it got quickly remedied.

 

[JordanN]

Mighty Switch Force 3
Or maybe a whole new "Mighty" game.

 

[Vermillion]

If it is Shantae, I hope it's a new game and not "help us port the first game/Risky's Revenge to Steam!"

Mmhm. If it's just Steam, I won't back it.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Rescue Rangers? They did Ducktales right? I guess license could be a problem to acquire if they aren't having help from Capcom.

 

[Apdiddy]

I really want Mighty Flip Champs HD since that's the only one of the Mighty games they got right....

 

[Salex]

Everybody doing Kickstarter now

Can you blame them for trying it when no one has no problems giving companies money to make games now? I'd love to see more Kickstarters for dead IPs.

 

[Silky]

I want to see a new IP!
