Also an awesome remix of the Bandit Town music by Jake Kaufman, the composer of the original Shantae soundtrack (he's doing the soundtrack to Risky's Revenge too of course):

I can't believe I'm posting in this thread before The Take Out Bandit.

 

[MvmntInGrn]

So do we have confirmation about DSiware on 3DS?

I'd like to try this out.

 

[Syril]

Wow, that looks really cool. I'll definitely be getting this when I have a 3DS.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Bah, you had me thinking they released a new trailer. We haven't has new screens or videos since the original announcement. Don't Wayforward want people to see their game?

 

[Noshino]

Sometimes I wonder what a big budget WayForward game would be like :C


Anyway, this looks awesome, can't never go wrong with Shantae :lol

 

[Slermy]

w00t!

DSi purchase justified.

I should celebrate by going back and finishing the GBC one, I was pretty far.

SHANTAE

neither you nor the OP is The Take Out Bandit. I am calling the appropriate authorities

 

[Matt_C]

Best birthday gift I would give to myself! Shame I missed out on buying the first game on GBC.

Holy shit! DayOnePerch.jpg

Day 1.

Too bad the game is going to appear to bomb thanks to all the folks waiting on the 3DS.

they could always port the future games to 3DSWare. or collect them onto cartridge.

 

[Gospel]

Good, now I can finally see what all the fuss is about.

 

[dallow_bg]

Hair attack reminds me of Kabuki Quantum Fighter.
Loved that game as a kid.

I had to take a nap.

That happens when you get old.

That and the highlight of your week being buying a Swiffer duster and cleaning your house. I better check my pants to make sure my pen0rz is still intact.

Yay! Shantae. :3

 

[Shalashaska161]

Kinda wish I had a DSi for this. Hopefully the 3DS will be able to play this game.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

they could always port the future games to 3DSWare. or collect them onto cartridge.

But why would they if this one doesn't sell well? I hope you're right, though. As others have said, DSiWare games will probably work on 3DS anyway. I just hope the developers realize a large portion of the potential audience won't buy it for a long time and plan accordingly.

How much is it? looks awesome

Price is not an issue.

If you have a Shantae player, then you should be playing Shantae, or the terrorists, Capcom, and Kamiya win! ARE YOU AN ENEMY OF GAMING?! >:|

 

[Salsa]

I almost updated my lite to a DSi because of this, but i didnt

3DS it is

If folks are in the market for Shantae players, head to a Buybacks near you. They have good prices on used Shantae Players and Shantae Netbooks.

I assure you, I'm not.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Noooo, can't update my DSi to connect to the shop or else my M3i won't work... and that means no DSi homebrew.

I guess I'll have to carry out my backup plan, where I get Shantae on my mother's DSi XL. Bigger screen = better anyways.

I really need to change my avatar...

 

[Wallach]

Edit - Nevermind I'm slowly going senile.

This game is about shooting and cars right?

This game is about dancing and genie girls and zombie girls and pirate girls! :3

 

[Wallach]

Nice. Well... I don't know about the zombie girls but the rest sounds pretty baller.

What the heck does "RET-2-GO" imply? "RET" seems like the worst way to shorten "ready", does it mean something else?

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Nice. Well... I don't know about the zombie girls but the rest sounds pretty baller.

Then you should rent Return of the Living Dead 3 (awesome) and Dead Girl (okay, but hot hot zombie girl). Necrophilia litmus test!

I didn't even make the thread! I was set up! The main reason I didn't want to make it was because I knew TToB would love to have the honor of doing it.

Some day I will not be here, it is important for all Shantae soldiers to do their duty and spread the good word!

 

[Azure J]

Sold. I shall be there Day 0.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Ah, yes. It's episodic. Another reason not to care.

Each episode is supposedly 3-4 hours long, according to Nintendo Power's preview from a few issues back.

That's pretty good considering most platformers are shorter in length.

It's supposed to be like Metrovania, I think.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to it. This will make the DSiWare finally worth it for me since it's been kind of disappointing so far...this and the Cave Story port.

 

[ant1532]

omgomgomgomgomg. as someone who only owns a snes and gbc, im super stoked to fucking get a 3ds. games like this is what i care about.

 

[The Spoony Hou]

Damn it, I never managed to play the first game.

Well, I'll wait for the 3DS .

 

[Forkball]

I wondered what happened to this franchise. The original one had sort of a cult following.

Also, somewhat of a slight thread derail, but is DSiWare typically successful? I mean not many people have a DSi compared to the DS, and I would think even fewer would use it's online service.

 

[Negator]

Oh man, I don't have a DSi, damn it! This sucks!

I really hope North America gets the 3DS this year.

Ironically, the game being a DSiWare is the answer to why this game hadn't had a sequel in a long time.

I remember reading that WayForward had a tough time finding a publisher which is why the GBA one was canceled. Something about retail releases being too expensive and that the first game didn't sell enough to break even.

So that's why they're going with downloads.

I think WayForward should release this game on more platforms like on WiiWare as well as XBLA and PSN, not just DSiWare. I hope DSiWare is enough.

But if not, I'm sure the 3DS is the hope for this game's success, assuming 3DS will have DSiWare.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Call me crazy, but isn't this potentially the most ambitious DSiWare game released to date? At least here in the US.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Not just the US. I think it's the most ambitious DSiWare release, period.

 

[Yes Boss!]

You silly dog, do you know how many people already own DSis?! The small amount of holdouts waiting for 3DS aren't going to affect sales. Plus, 3DS will likely have access to the DSi product.

 

[Princess Skittles]

Call me crazy, but isn't this potentially the most ambitious DSiWare game released to date? At least here in the US.

Hmm, I think so.

While there are some great games on there, almost all of them are rather small scale.

Dark Void Zero, maybe? That's a pretty great game that wasn't just a puzzle game, but pretty short.

 

[Eric C]

If the 3DS can't buy/play DSiware games I'm going to be pissed! Unlikely, but they haven't confirmed it yet.

I just hope it won't look too small on the 3DS's 3 inch 320×240 screen compared to the larger 3.25 inch 256 X 192 DSi screen.

 

[Sagitario]

The sprite work is amazing.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Time to put you suckers on notice.

Dragona and I got the OT on lockdown!

Mario vs. Donkey Kong 3 was a straight-to-DSiWare release, no?

 

[Yes Boss!]

Mario vs. Donkey Kong 3 was a straight-to-DSiWare release, no?

Nah, it was a smaller release alltogether...though a ton of content for the $8 price. Still took quite some hours to 100% but nothing compared to the first two (and fourth, methinks).
