Taking place in cartoony, Arabian Nights setting, the pixely world that you'll witness here is actually one of the best looking for the Game Boy Color, if not the absolute best. I love replaying a series from start to finish, and now it’s even easier with Shantae, without having to dig out another portable.It will be hard for most people to accept that Shantae was actually made by a western studio, as it oozes that particular, '80s Nintendo charm that one can expect from a developer like Capcom - which is probably why the latter was actually the publisher. And the first Shantae is easily the most elusive, given that it’s only been hosted on two platforms before this week: Game Boy Color and 3DS. But Risky’s Revenge took quite some time to hit Switch, with a port only arriving in October of last year. Pirate’s Curse was always sort of a shoo-in too, given that it originally arrived on 3DS and Wii U before any other platform. Half-Genie Hero and Seven Sirens were relatively easy to port to Switch as WayForward made a point to bring both of those to pretty much every platform under the sun: even Vita for the former and mobile for the latter.
With today’s release of the original Shantae in the Switch eShop, all five Shantae games are available on a single system for the first time ever! Check out this trailer to celebrate the occasion! /eZ8dwO3SFk With the original hitting Switch just yesterday, the catalog is complete. That list is growing all the time, and now it includes all five Shantae games throughout WayForward history. Also, if there’s a game that can possibly be ported to it, it probably exists. It’s hard to believe that it’s been around that long, but publishers have been drawn to it like a prospector to a gold mine: as evidenced by the 30-40 games that flood the eShop each and every week. The Switch just turned four this past year, which means that it has quite a hefty amount of history already.
