Castlevana meets Zelda 2 on the first one. The others streamline but are still great.

you'll play for the fanservice, but be charmed by the friendly atmosphere of the game , fun gameplay, and

Shantae games have a lot of torches and candles. Please do not fooled into thinking you can whip the candles with your hair for items.

I have two of the Shantae games that I bought on Wii U that I haven't played yet.

I was super excited when I downloaded them too, but I just don't play video games much anymore, so it's hard to start up any new game.

2D platformers are even my favorite genre (along with 2D space shooters).

Metroidvania. Tons of "rub your crotch on walls and pray it's a secret" gameplay. Except the writing's actually kind of funny and the protagonist is hot.

Shantae 1 suffers in various ways just from being on the GBA, but is quite unique for a game on that platform and worth checking out if you can stomach its flaws.
Here's a not shit review explaining some shit if you feel like giving it a try:

Risky's Revenge improves the gameplay but is too short and the level design is garbage.

Pirate's Curse is the best despite it straying from the formula of the previous two.

In all of the games, the main draw is the characters, setting, dialogue, stuff like that. The games individually have their ups and downs in other areas.

Why does she look like this now? I prefer how she looked in pirate's curse

>redpill

shantae games have more in common with the wonder boy games than castlevania

how about you both go fuck yourselves

brown and purple

like peanut butter and jelly

I don't understand your autistic rage

Because manchildren are becoming more children-like, so they are only attracted to characters who look younger and more cartoony.

Going for cartoony to avoid accusations of making boner-bait.

Breddy fun.
Good solid gameplay
Cute graphics
Prime waifus
Gameplay is like those old side-scrolling action RPGs with some metroid gear stuff

you have to go back

So faggots complaining again? God video games are fucking dead.

Why? He's right. They are like wonder boy games.

>redpill
kys

Is any of this censored in the 3ds version?

How can something animated be boner-bait? Especially something anime stylized.

Honestly now I'm tempted to not buy this shit out of principle.

What exactly is there to censor? None of it is. I have it on my 3ds.

Nope

Mediocre platformers full of fanservice

7/10
made me kek

They're okay. Nothing special.

>Principle

Maybe if you're a faggot. The game doesn't try to bait you like that anyways. Shantae is just good looking.

this

I'm playing through the first one. It's fucking hard as balls.

It's always been cartoony though.
Hell, the HGH style is more fappable than Shantae 1's by far.

...

That doesn't even make sense.

>Avoiding boner bait

She's a dirty jew fuckdoll being sold to lonely neets to steal your goybucks and make it so you accept interracial relationships (Half-genie, not even trying to hide it anymore)

Shantae is a cutie pie and the games are okay sometimes hard.

Good choice.

I wish there's a alternate color palette feature in HGH.

Mediocre games held up entirely by fan service, good pixel art and music. Gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.

The series has had 3 entries, each one doing little to improve upon what the previous entry established (Hell, there's actually some regression and a complete change of mechanics by the 3rd entry)

The newest one looks to finally be an actual fantastic game rather than just a passable one.

Good first game, haven't played the others. Backed the new one, stil looking forward to it.

You can't really talk about Shantae on Sup Forums, all parties involved will be shitposing. Try /vr/.

>Some user comes to the conclusion that it might because of pandering
>Other user requires no proof and dismisses because of muh ebin boogyman SJW
>It could just be that the creators wanted a new style or to show her age more accurately
I don't even care if you buy it or not

They are fun little exploration platformers. They tend to be shorter and smaller than the Metroidvanias like Symphony of the Night. They lean more towards open connected worlds with the occasional dungeon; the outside world is more about getting around and remembering where you saw chests/obstructions, while the dungeons tend to be more mazelike and require a bit of exploration.

First Shantae was on Game Boy Color. It's aged a bit, especially needing to effectively pause the game for a dance routine to transform, but still fairly good.

Shantae: Risky's Revenge is quite short, with only two real dungeons.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse moves the fastest, since you don't transform so you don't need to stop to access a particular ability. However, the world isn't connected anymore, effectively giving you a level select for stages with the "home" being another stage to run around in.

Shantae: Half Genie Hero is the Kickstarted game that should be out this year.

Seeing all these pictures makes me wonder if there has ever been rule 34 of Shantae. I feel like probably.

Why would they make porn about an anime girl?

From what I understand, rule 34 isn't actually done by the company, but instead it's done by anyone who wants to do so. I know adult anime is mostly watched by single men with low income, so I'd imagine some of them would probably draw her naked.

>Anime
>Studio isn't even Japanese

There actually isn't any r34, it's sad really.

Idk I though I read somewhere they did censorship by removing something, but I may be completely wrong.

Are you forgetting the curtain?

Something can be anime without being Japanese.

Yes

Dumbest shit I've read today. Thanks.

It's not Japanese, it's not made by Japanese and there isn't even an actual anime.

Anime refers to the art style.

Just ignore it. They're trolling, and quite successfully since you bit into it.

Children's games with a hidden layer of fap bait for adults. Literally "children's games".

Sorry, I was being sarcastic, there's tons of porn
That's for the second one, and it wasn't censorship, they just added a costume for the steam release.

Everyone just wants to tap that.

This is actually a common misconception. The literal definition for anime is "Japanese art", regardless of style.

>no Ranma red shirt alt-costume

I want to make passionat love to Risky!

shit games that used tits to manipulate a few manchildren to make an internet crusade
very mediocre and forgettable unless you're a desperate autistic virgin

>I'm gonna pretend like I've played these games

>it gave me a boner so suddenly every aspect of the game is good

Just admit you have no actual opinion on these games. It has it's flaws but no one here is pretending like they're the best perfect games ever.

who cares if it gave him a boner as if it's XOR

Kys lazy faggot

>that used tits

Shantae and the rest of the cast have small breasts.

The PC artist comes back for this game though.

>avoiding playing a game because of a complete speculation about why art style was changed
>the portrait art is still by the same artist as the last game
>every piece of evidence shows this game to be just as sexual, if not more

Based retarded uninformed Sup Forums user knee-jerk reaction I can always count on.

>Shantae and the rest of the cast have small breasts.

Sky's Mom and Risky have actual, confirmed breast size over the rest of the cast. Risky in particular.

Start of Pirate's Curse when Risky and Shantae agree to team up.

>Shantae goes through Risky's clothes
>"This one's kinda roomy for me!"
>Risky immediately calling her out to get the fuck out of her clothes.

The main character has a crouch animation where she sticks her ass in the air and shakes it.

What does it taste like?

I think you missed his point but it's nice you were paying attention to that.

this

games are literally fapbait. I'd call it an okay platformer but nothing really special.

It's in the new game too. That consistency

...

Those boobs never stop swaying.

And anons were afraid the new design meant they were going SJW
My only complaint is with the better graphics it no longer looks like she's making a dick hungry face

...

...

probably ass

Risky Boobs

Does Shantae have a love interest?

...

Rottytops.

not really
best gril

The first one was entertaining but it had too much backtracking. I'd give it a shot.
I haven't played the rest

This

I want a pale goth Shantae. Hot Topic outfit with striped stockings included.

If anything I'd say Risky's Revenge regressed on the original rather than Pirate's Curse. RR had less dungeons, one town compared to two, and was a lot more basic in design, only really improving on how close the camera was to Shantae and her overall controls (holding B to run in a Metroidvania is pretty dumb). PC meanwhile has many more, well design dungeons, and the Pirate Gear was a nice way to have quick access to moves.

I still agree that Half-Genie Hero looks like it'll be the best, tho. I love the series, but the exploration and replay value is pretty low. Half-Genie Hero will actually give us reasons to replay levels and the game other than NG+ with Risky Boot's campaign and the Rottytops/Bolo/Sky play through options, and levels seem more focused in design.

Really now

>PC meanwhile has many more, well design dungeons, and the Pirate Gear was a nice way to have quick access to moves.

PC also took away the metroidvania part of Shantae and the whole transformation gimmick. It was a far more linear adventure compared to the previous too.

Simple, cute and fun.

Since i haven't played a Shantae game yet, I have a question for Shantae fans:

List about 5-10 of your favorite 2D platformers.

(I'm looking for something to encourage myself to play the games).

>Kuonyesha mbali!

what did he mean by this

Good looking games that are fun to play? Nothing groundbreaking really.

They're not great or anything. If you don't feel like playing them then don't. The porn will always still be there.

Yoshi's Island
Super Mario Bros 3
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Wario Land: Shake It (I've not played the other Wario Land titles)
Goonies 2 for NES was a fun one, if frustrating to find everything

It's more liner, but not because the lack of transformation, because items take their place, it just took out the backtracking and added levels instead of one map. You need to backtrack still for good ending though instead, not that's good
