I get 624 episodes?

First question
Who the fuck is that?

Second question
How the fuck did I get this job?

Gonna be on an epic quest.
Meet new characters regularly.
Never stops dancing, even while sleeping.

It's going to be a mystic adventure.
A quest for all time.
Though dancing has to be saved for when something dramatic is happening. If it happened every episode it'd get old and likely be relegated to stock footage.
And the last episode has her fight the boss by dancing into her "Magic mode."

>he doesn't know Shantae

You're missing out, man.

26 episodes, 24 minutes

that sounds like a 4kids opening song.

The games themselves are rife with material to use as episodes. Hell, just go chronologically if you want, make it an episodic adventure going through each game. It'd probably be very Dragonball-like, with each season forcing Shantae to search for a new set of McGuffins.

There's humor, character, charm and great environments in every Goddamn inch of those games. A show should be piss-easy to make out of them. Skip the game-extending difficulty sections and make fun out of the encounters and dungeons and you've got a show.

Just imagine an episode when that stupid ancient tribe just mistakes every single woman as their "missing" princess when she goes out to get groceries. Fan-service central with those skimpy royal outfits.

...

>26x24

Does that mean 26 episodes for 24 seasons, or vice versa?

>Shantae will never make magic dances again

I know it's part of the plot, but what wasted potential

Also her main villain kinda sucks, besides the lesbian tension

She deserves better

26 episodes, each 55 seconds long.

>0
Way to get our fucking show canceled, fagballs

>Jasmine + I Dream of Jeannie + lesbianism undertones

You haven't finished Pirate's Curse, have you?

No

She gets her powers back?

i have no idea what i'm doing and will lose the job regardless
so i'll have the crew basically make pro-level shantae porn until we're shut down

seems like the best use of the resources

I'd probably just adapt as many games as I could into a cartoon format, and then if I get the second season try to make an original plot.

>hoarding porn

You are the scourge of the world

HOW LONG UNTIL 1 GENIE 2 HERO

IF you remember to find and defeat all of the Tinker bats filled with dark magic and suck them into her lamp
The pirate king steals it all, but Shantae's goodness purified it. She dances one last time in the game, absorbs all her purified magic back, then you beat the shit out of the pirate king while Risky bombs him from town with the Ammo Baron's long range cannon.

It should drop you at 7:25 if you want to see for yourself.

user, of course i'd make sure it leaked out
what do you take me for

That was such an epic fucking end. Wonder how they're going to top that in the new one?

...

Only 2 of the thread so far?

>Hating on one of the few vidya villains to actually get shit done
>who wears her dead boss' face as clothing without being an edgelord about it
I seriously hope you don't believe this.

Even if you wanted to just make it a largely episodic affair instead, the numerous Barons of Sequin Land are excellent "villain of the week" material. Squid Baron as a 4th-wall-breaking, part-time antagonist would be aces.

I actually had a weird dream about a "Shantae cartoon" once before. I can't remember all the details thinking back, but it seemed like some kind of "slice of life shows with a bit of wacky cartoon antics" but not the "lolrandum" kind, something akin to Tom and Jerry without that much full on slapstick.

I remember something about Shantae being mini sized and was watching a show about herself. Kinda meta, I know.

I pretty much just fill the entire thing with softcore /u/. This is the only possible way this is going to be a success.

Plot can take a back seat. Let's be honest, characterisation can take a back seat as well. Nobody watching this trainwreck is going to be watching it for anything like actual narrative, they're going to be watching it for the softcore lesbo action, same as they played the reboot games.

There is no possible way this idea can fail.

>who wears her dead boss's face as a bra and panties

get it right, fag

>bra and panties aren't clothing

>reboot games
>reboot

what

more like strapless/tube top and codpiece really, but now we're just splitting hairs.

the important thing is she wears a dude's skull and gives no fucks about it, and she's keikaku doori'd the heroine in every game so far.

how did she out keikaku Shantae in the first and third one?

Monster of the week lighthearted comedy/action show. Have Shantae be the empowered female protagonist she is, don't touch her main outfit at all, and keep her dialogue in character with the games (plucky and affable, if a touch dim). Keep the pseudo-lesbian tension between Risky and Shantae, and feature a couple gaiden stories featuring Rottytops or Sky or even Risky herself.

First season can cover any of the three games so far, though Pirate's Curse should be left for a second season change of pace. Make sure to fit in some stock footage dancing transformation scene for each animal, and keep Shantae's dick actions in the story (dog murder, mook hair whip "torture").

Also, make Shantae dress like a goth, for a quick gag or two where Risky says the look fits her.

Not sure about the first one, but she used Shantae to finally kill what was left of her old boss in the third, leaving her as the sole evil pirate left.

And on a minor note, tricked Shantae into getting into a bathtub booby trap.

how do you not know you have a bath?

She's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

The first game Risky just ruses Shantae out of the game's macguffins to build a steam-powered giant robot to conquer the land, which Shantae then demolishes in grand fashion. Standard villain/hero stuff.

However, in every game after, Risky's got her own steam-powered pirate ship anyway, so even a doomsday weapon isn't a big loss to her.
Risky too based

>dressing like a goth
>not wearing the pirate outfit again just to annoy Risky

*Don't have a bath
You mean., but yeah. My guess was early morning tiredness and failing to put 1 and 1 together to make 2

That wasn't really Risky's keikaku, so much as getting Shantae to run around and get her magic back, knowing Shantae's good deeds in between would get Shantae her powers back to save the world from her old boss, who was more satan than anything by this point.

sezy dances every episode

>rolling
You know you're not on Sup Forums anymore, right?

>which Shantae then demolishes in grand fashion

see, I consider that to mean she didn't get out-rused.

And how does getting Shantae to get her old powers back and save the world count as keikaku? Compared to where they both were at the end of the previous game, Shantae won out big.

>pseudo-lesbian tension between Risky and Shantae
>not Rotty and Shantae

It is a keikaku, he just got the end goal wrong.

>Rotty
what part of pseudo don't you understand?

>And how does getting Shantae to get her old powers back and save the world count as keikaku?

the part where Shantae then used her newly recovered powers to beat the shit out of Pirate Satan whose continued existence would have
A) Doomed all of the land, meaning Risky couldn't do pirate shit anymore
B) Kept Risky cursed which would eventualy and quickly get her killed

>Compared to where they both were at the end of the previous game, Shantae won out big.
Compared to where they both were at the start of that game, she got her army back and Shantae's dancing is out of practice again, powers or no powers.

That helped Shantae as much as it helped Risky, if not more. That's like saying you totally swindled someone by selling them something at market value.

It's nothing but Shantae rapping to the bizzity-beat and teaching all the kids that eating vegetables is fun.

There will be a dance routine in every episode. Either in the third act, some climactic event, or showing off at the beginning of the episode of something she just picked up.

Then base the whole thing on the standard weekly adventure like the Sonic and Mario shows before. Risky does something to endanger Skuttle Town, Shantae must stop her, there is a laugh at the end, repeat.

Back in September they announced that they were going to have to delay the final release of the game, and they predicted the new date to be the second week of November.
As it is we've heard nothing.

Wasn't there an issue with the people who backed the game to the "digital copy" tier but wanted it for PS3 or XBox360? Like they either all have to pick a different format, or Wayforward has to give them refunds? I think that's what may be killing this. Which I guess would be Wayforward's fault for taking so long that a console generation ends.

The game looks fucking amazing but their Kickstarter was handled incredibly poorly. And they're still locking so much shit for people who didn't get the chance to back the game. At least three costumes, a sword for Risky and A TRANSFORMATION.

anyone else picked up limited run's releases of Risky's revenge and Pirate's curse?

I'm sorry, but nothing beats physical releases.

Who would voice her?

Her voice actress has always been Christina Valenzuela.
So I guess she could reprise the role she has performed in the games.

>If in the 70's
Reused animation on key scenes, with low budget backgrounds. Each episode Shantae would solve a mystery on her island, along with her wacky friends. Expect pop rock to play at any time.
>If in the 80's
Special care on transformation and dance scenes, full of glitter and light effects. At the start and ending of each episode one live action actress Shantae would give moral lessons and make terrible puns. Everyone would have a catchphrase.
>If in the 90's
"The New Adventures of Shantae" would have intense fight scenes, long arc plots, lots of guitar riffs and adult themes, some more subtle than others. Expect lots of hard shadows on villain designs and one episode about steroids
>If in 00's
The cartoon would look ironically more childish this time. Made in flash and with really bright colors, it would focus more on absurdity humor and random adventures on the island. Risky would be just a cranky girl, and not a full time villain. Expect lots of lesbian overtones and visual surrealism.

>Live actress wearing Shantae's outfit
Damn I'd watch it, and I'm a sucker for bad puns and catchphrases too.

Cover the ground based off the first game. Don't make it a retelling of the first game, but rather make sure you are covering the basics (Shantae is a half-genie protecting Scuttle Town, Risky invades, Rotty wants her cute brains, etc.) so that you can introduce everyone properly. The people watching a Shantae cartoon series are unlikely to have played the games, especially unlikely to have played the first game on GBC.

Once you have a good idea of what everyone is about, then you can head off in a direction with some new plot. A cartoon series would probably be the best place to explore Shantae's parents in-depth, so I think an excuse for everyone to head out and figure that bit out would be interesting. Perhaps Risky steals something from Mimic, something related to Shantae's mother or father, and so everybody heads out to chase down Risky and get into some backstory in the series. Perhaps something like Pirates of Dark Water.

The biggest concern is that there probably wouldn't be much interaction with Risky past some generic villain situations: it isn't until Pirate's Curse that the two were willing to somewhat work together, and outside a possible tense situation towards the end, Risky would be working directly against Shantae during their first encounters.

>Remember kids, the right way is the best way. Keep dancing through danger! Till next time!
>smoke bomb

Every episode is Shantae getting fucked hard non-stop for 30 straight minutes.

So Shantae is a ninja genie now?

You seriously never watched Jeannie?

Almost every magic trick she does have pink smoke bombs for effect

I was making a joke.

Although a bit more seriously, most of the wish-granting that Jeannie did involved putting her hands on her elbows and then nodding her head, with a sound effect. Things would "just" appear, with a rather obvious camera cut to make the effect happen.

youtube.com/watch?v=ma1eyZUCwLQ

I only remember the smoke when she was getting into and out of the bottle.

Jeannie blink >>>>>>>>> Bewitched nose twitch


Now I remember. I also record it being basically a more adult version of FoP, with the wish of the week getting out of hand, and Jeannie getting upset about her husbando

No, she does the Krieger 'throw up your hands and yell "smoke bomb" before running' thing

the episodes would consist of shantae and lampy the lamp getting into all sorts of shenanigans, from trying to get rotty tops a date for the skuttle town ball, or teaching risky boots the meaning of christmas. the last two episodes will hint at possibly seeing shantaes mom in a very touching seen. also pic related, the concept art.

Nah mang, Transforming magic lesbian girls? SU got that market cornered gotta think of something else

>not rottytops trying to date/eat shantae
you're not seeing the big picture here

>Expect pop rock to play at any time.

what's the deal with this? Were licensing fees for popular music just way cheaper back then?

Not really. Or it was cheap tunes made for the cartoon, like Jabberjaw and Scooby Doo, or tunes owned by the company already, like Disney or Warner

According to the October update, the release date is "anywhere between Nov 1 and Dec 15."

as long as it's not fucking calarts shantae it's probably gonna be okay

She had someone else voice her in Risky's Revenge, but it didn't last. Christina is much better anyway.
