Shantae Thread

Just beat the original GBC game. It was a little rough largely because I'm not accustomed to how cryptic and NOT hand-holdy old games used to be anymore but it was really enjoyable. I didn't even know animations that good were possible on the GBC.

That ending tho
>Can I get you for half price?
and then Shantae in a bikini for the credits

These devs cultivated their audience well. But man what the FUCK did we do to deserve the huge crash and burn that is the 1/2 Genie Hero art style downgrade? Pirate's Curse was perfect. I mean original Shantae was sexy but PC got that sexy cartoon genki girl look going on an accentuated her assets. But now she looks like one of the lazy ass designs you find in cartoons these days that are just blocky angular messes. She's lost all sex appeal. There's no detail anymore. She looks like a Paper Mario character.

The cutscene art for 1/2 genie hero is still the same from Pirate's Curse.

It's only the in-game sprites that get replaced with the new artstyle.

Also there's so many fuckable Paper Mario characters, so fuck you.

>I'm not accustomed to how cryptic and NOT hand-holdy old games used to be anymore
This is why the original one is still my fav.
There aren't too many games out there anymore that let you discover things for yourself.

Yeah I kinda hated myself for using a guide for a lot of it but with work I just wanted to relax and have fun not puzzle solve. I miss the younger days where I'd slam my head against a wall for 6 hours to figure out how to progress.

Is it weird that I'm still doing that?
I'm currently stuck in Starfox Zero, trying to find 10 mini-medals on one of the stages. Somehow, I just like trying different things to see if it gets the results I want. I'm often thinking "Now, if I were a developer, where would I hide this?"

Where have you been the past few days
The gameplay art is different from the portraits

Is there a release date for Half Genie Hero? I've been hearing about it for what feels like a year now.

I'm playing through pirate's curse right now and getting a bonner every time there's an extended amount of conversation.

>Comparing the PC portrait art to the 1/2 GH ingame model

You're waifu a shit.

Still looks like shit to me.

that third design is the perfect artstyle. Although it would be even better if they made her look a little older/taller

oh really? that's really good then considering how pixelated the old sprites are.

i'm liking the hair and the stylized clothes and the shading is on point. Her face seems too simple though.

Nah, they look pretty good
It's a nice hybrid of the gameplay style and the Pirates Curse style

Soon™ July maybe
>oh really?
No, see

why is that mermaid so fucking hot

Are there any puns in any of those games? This is very important.

Tons. Rottytops is a master pun teller.

...

...

why is she so adorable?

she's getting progressively lighter skinned. that's kind of disappointing

...

>go to shantae wikia because it has always bothered me
>look up Risky Boots
>species: human

What? With that skin color?

...

...

...

Who is "Klaus" and what the fuck is "Twisted Wind"?

She's just very, very pale.

She was initially planned as a pirate ghost. They changed it but the grey, ghostly skin color sticked.

Ya fucked up, OP.

I like the new artstyle it seems that they backe away from the anime style of Pirates curse

Best incarnation of Shantae yet. I LOVE this art style.

Artist with a massive boner for Minnie Mouse, but makes pretty great rule 34 (when it's not Minnie Mouse)

what, seriously?

Where I can acquire the gbc game?

When's 1/2 Genie Hero getting released anyway?

I'm almost done with the other ones and now I want more.

Do I switch to PC or Wii U version? I don't want to have to wait more months if I stick to PS3.

...

Yes because pirates and other sea fairers are known for their pale complexions

Google.

Mayne Risky is mostly at her ships cabin, since you know endless army of obidient tinkerbats. Why bother doing anything when you got workers?

Eshop.

I wanna hug Monkae.

Isn't the Wii U version going to have some kind of pad gimmick? go for that one

...

EU code for Pirate's Curse on Wii U, if anyone is interested.

Dunno, he managed to make Minnie Mouse bonerworthy, it's remarkable.
