will it be only shantae playable
or can i at least rescue risky from peril while she's tied up and all disheveled looking with her hair strewn about all sexily like she was a rape victim
Neat I guess. Hopefully It'll be better than HGH
I want to fuck rottytops
Hope they cut back on the tweening
>didn't the last one just come out, I haven't even played it yet
>2016
Well fuck
perfect time to buy the ultimate edition then. With all the extra modes it's really good value for money at this point
Her vest to be present or at least a clothing option. I'm super easy to please.
Is the company that makes the Shantae games indie? This is important.
well that's kind of an underwhelming announcement
Not really, they make shovelware for other companies
This better be a metroidvania and not HGH 2.
Wayforward isn't indie.
Remove transformation or make them instantaneous. Of the games I've played Pirate's curse is the only one with legit strong gameplay also hottest art by far
And like literally every other Shantae game, it'll be worth it only for the waifus and fanart. Shantae is actually a pretty mediocre platforming games series tbqfhwymf.
4 was utter dogfucking shit and no one would care about this garbage if they didn't think with their dicks.
Well shit, I'm getting their games digitally but with a sour taste in my mouth.
This, Pirate's Curse is the only good game
What if she had the vest from PC and the arm poofs from RR?
First game and Pirate's Curse are legitimately good. I understand transformations aren't everyone's thing, but fuck it, the first one played well.
Pirate's curse is the best regardless of whether you think with your brain of with your dick
I hope it will be a proper Shantae game, unlike Half Genie Hero which was a huge disappointment since it wasn't so much Metroidvania like the previous ones.
A game that isn’t shit this time. Preferably like Pirates Curse.
>if they didn't think with their dicks.
you're not wrong
but if you guessed that it had to do with shantae herself you'd be kind of wrong with me
because i want more risky
>Sudden announcement out of nowhere
>On actual consoles and PC, but also whatever the fuck Apple Arcade is
>Latter this year, which means they're gonna somehow pump out this game within 9 months at least
This is gonna be worse than HGH
Only a few games of theirs are produced/published by themselves like Shantae series from the 2nd one and after and Mighty series.
>Still no Mighty Switch Force 3
Fuck You Matt!
>this game began development recently
dumbass this game has probably been in development for a decent time already.
I don't have anything against transformations per se, it's the constant having to stop before an obstacle - transform - traverse obstacle - stop - transform - progress - stop before obstacle - transform - traverse compared to Pirate's curse where you did everything in one go. I haven't played the very first though so I don't know exactly how that works.
Maybe it was in development for a few months before this announcement.
I still haven't finished PIrate's curse. Am I understanding that the other 2 games aren't worth it?
Yes, because surely they've done nothing since HGH but sit around with their dicks in their hands.
>>Sudden announcement out of nowhere
How would you prefer it to be announced? Shantae isn't big enough to get some E3 slot.
i'm pretty sure they've been working on it longer than that, though i do think they're going to recycle a lot of the assets from hgh
some guy apparently claimed that he was leaking information about a new shantae being in the works and hgh was just a smokescreen to just develop the resources or w/e
I think 4 is the least like how Shantae should be (metroidvania), but it's still my favorite. I like lots of toys to play with even though there's a lack of purposes for them. 4 > 1 > 4 (without DLC) > 3 > 2. Also I like dancing (most in 1 as well) and still like Risky's Revenge even though it's last.
nothing wrong with thinking with your dick
We didn't even got a console version of Mighty Switch Force Academy. And yeah, I would love a 3rd game. Or a new Mighty game (like Mighty Milky Way).
Get on the line
Yeah, they're both short and just dull as fuck unless Shantae's tits are enough to entice you... but at that point just look at porn
I wanna marry and impregnate Rottytops!
>>Latter this year, which means they're gonna somehow pump out this game within 9 months at least
I imagine they've been working on it for a while before the announcement, you doofus.
Probably since right after HGH was released.
What the fuck is the Apple Arcade, and what are the chances of this thing holding back the game from being what it could if it was just consoles and PC
Posting best girl
And I JUST beat HGH today.
They are independently owned and fu d their own projects like shantae and mighty switch force
But also still do work for other companies to make games like that ducktales remake.
They're kinda weird like that
>Leave previous game HALF finished
>Already making a new game
Fucking hell. The worst part is I'll probably buy it because I like the games.
First two games are relics of their time. Pirates Curse manages to avoid this
Apple's Stadia.
Might skio it unless otherwise a proven great game
I played a couple of her games and they are just okay. Not great exceptional works, but no bad either. Best part is animation and music, but everything else is just okay. I think there is a reason why most people that play these games just wanna fuck everything in it, especially shantae and all her forms
Why do retards think like this? Just because it was only announced less than an hour ago doesn't mean they started working on it today. It could have had years worth of content worked on already
Shantae is good but old. Looks great for a gameboy game, but camera's small so at points you'll be taking a leap of faith, and may get lost when you first get started. Once you get your bearings, though, it's pretty smooth sailling, so it's worth giving a try at least.
Risky's Revenge is alright, but its issues stem from being pretty short, and was originally meant to be much bigger.
Half Genie Hero has the same issues. Short and levels are disconnected. It's not bad, but it's more style over substance.
I don’t know what it is but considering both Risky’s Revenge and Pirate’s Curse were on I think Apple and Fire Tv whatever this is probably won’t hurt it.
if only i could ever feel what it's like being between shantae's breasts
Necrophilia is illegal you know.
if they're going for another artstyle i hope they use more "full" proportioned models as cute as the chibi look is, i doubt we'd get full 3D soon though
if its the same exact sprites then hopefully they can jam a good chunk of features in so it doesn't feel like a half-genie hero level pack, having multiple playable characters in the base game and not as DLC campaigns would be great
Based
That's not Skye
Is your image broken or something?
Remember 2000, when Shantae's game are just forget in the dust and now she now becoming stale franchise.... this is surprise thing
Shantae is so fucking hot.
Apple Arcade isn't a streaming service. It's for Macs, Apple TV, and iOS. The game won't be cutting edge so I wouldn't worry
i hope the art actually looks like that, the chibis don't do it for me.
i'm hoping that the forms and level design actually function together this time like the first game.
i also want the dance parlor back.
I have lost all faith in this company.
They find the way to keep making worse games with less content.
So far the first shantae from GB is the only one i have actually enjoyed a lot. Shit series.
Its nice that Shantae has a decent following in Japland. I know one of the big wigs of Gamefreak plays her games.
It's pretty nice
Bet you never played Pirate's Curse pea for brains.
I will agree that Half-Genie Hero was extremely underwhelming, but hey it brought the series to the masses (more future games).
So Windows Store for the faggiest of fags?
Gotcha.
>i also want the dance parlor back.
fucking this
I hope its 3d but heavily stylized
Nice, I have all Shantae games so I'll get this one too. I should get the costume modes DLC in HGH as well, I never did.
Post your hopes for the game
>Rottytops race 2
>Dance parlor returns
>Cut down on transformations BUT in exchange the transformations are more versatile
link plz
Im so happy to see another Shantae title. I kept myself busy with the Ultimate Edition of HGH and Persona 5 in the meantime.
I wonder if they will improve the dance mechanics? The art will no doubt be a treat, and we can always trust WF to provide kickin music~
I cant wait to hear new details asap...
page says its from 2013. surely its on e-hentai or nhentai by now.
... uhhh
What *does* SOF stand for
Don't remember what it's from, but just a heads up, that's the only page with Shantae on it, it's just a random splash.
Semen On Figure
It's a subscription service like Netflix, but you can actually play the games offline. Definitely for normies, though the announcement was interesting since they revealed a Beneath a Steel Sky sequel and new game by Hironobu Sakaguchi.
>i doubt we'd get full 3D soon though
We probably won't get full 3D ever. Matt said in a Nintendo Power magazine interview that around the gamecube era they tried out making a 3D Shantae, but it was scrapped since they couldn't make a 3D Adventure game without Shantae's hair always being in the way, so 90% of the time all you'd see of Shantae was a big purple poof
>still have to deal with garbage gameplay
when will wayforward move on to eroges so characters aren't locked behind boring filler?
>it's been 5 years since the HGH kickstarter
jesus christ
That's not Skye's Mom
Looks to kawaii as fuck, maybe some appealing for kids audience.
Not the lewd Shantae I remember from old games but anyways, I'll pirate it and let's see later
controversial but
>input dancing returns as the method of transforming and entry to a more robust magic system
>level design and additional functions on transformations to make rapid switching unnecessary so the new methods aren't as intrusive.
>fighter moves return
>story is character driven rather than event driven, and characters have plenty of interaction with one another
>bolo still suffers
>skye remains single
>perhaps meet the sultaness
Wasn't Unfundable supposed to come out like 2 years ago
My life is evaporating
t-this means we have more chances of getting in smah br-OOOOOOOOOHHH NOOOOOOOO
Anyone know if the artbook that came with the Ultimate edition is scanned?
Kind of an odd way to reveal it, over twitter on a random Monday with no trailer or any details other than what systems it will be on. Also it releases this year, so you'd think they'd have something to show. I'm still happy but I'm just a little bit worried, too.
now that we have the announcement out of the way, it's time to post some preggo shantaes
>not even one day since announcement and the shitposters just have to shit
Can you just do everyone a favor, and go shitpost on Yea Forums or something?
Did any of the Smash shitposters make a steve Wojak to spam with? It honestly seems like they only ever spam Shantae and Banjo
I've only ever seen 3 preggo Shantaes. So unless you have some new ones that aren't degenerate shit, don't post.
>Snoy could've announced it on their Nintendo Direct
Pirate's Curse is the best but it's still just a mediocre game.
mildly curious, but i'm hoping for more information over the next week or two. they may hold off the trailer until the next nindies showcase or something.
The less wojacks in the world, the better.
Unless Microsoft and Snoy paid them off so they'd have something good to show off at their Nintendo Directs
user they're waiting for E3.
More tits, more ass
I'm too casual to beat the race/Baron tower in the desert area in Risky's Revenge. I always end up dying mid way or I end up running out of time.
They gotta find a way to streamline the transformations.
I had way more fun with Pirate's Curse than HGH because I wasn't stopping to change forms just to get to another platform. Just get that dash boost charged and leg it.
Either that, or give her fewer transformations with more utility.
But why this game wasn't announced at a nindie showcase? That would of been prefect IMHO.
oh I definitely have more than three shantae preggos, and some edits.
her tummy is very big, but they're also very lewd so I won't post.
more wholesome round tummies, if they can be found, would be appreciated.
Snoy had the perfect chance to reveal it today at their shitty Direct rip-off, but it stars a sexy anime girl so they likely rejected it.
>Hopes
As good as Pirate's Curse.
>expectations?
Half assed shit like the last one.
Good one OP. Very fu--
Oh fuck, its real.
Shantae ffffffiiiive baybeee!!
Thank god we can have shantae threads that arent Smash-oriented Maybe also some ones that arent just lewdposting? Wishful thinking.
What's with the cringy namefags in this thread
filtered
My gut tells me this is gonna recycle or slightly tweak HGH's art assets.
You and I know that we're far too horny and eager to masturbate for that.
the transformations can't be streamlined further and still have dancing. not only that but doing so makes more challenges about switching forms constantly, if you stay in a form for a long time there's no need for a fast transition.
the second option is the way to go, so longer segments can be designed around the various abilities and properties each form has, and one of the character's most defining traits (which can also be tied to the soundtrack, a series strength) can be retained as a gameplay element. fast transitions also lead to one-note forms, because of how much switching gets emphasized.
you make it sound like this is a place to talk about video games.
how is that a space princess?
more like sexy desert princess
..ok have fun I guess, but can you just go to rule34 or something?
I know, like I said. Wishful thinking...
another redesign?
Your gut better be wrong cause I want less chibi characters like the artwork suggests.
They should make dancing serve a purpose other than transformations (you know, like how you could dance for money in GBC), to give you time to appreciate the dancing; but let you skip straight to the transformation whenever you need it.
That's not as fun.
how many times can you re-make a basic platformer
If they do overhaul the art, thats fine too. Just add more levels.
i need MORE LEWDS
>HGH is bad maymay
Fuck you guys. The game is a definite step backward from Pirate's Curse but it's still good.
As for the transformations, they need to find a way to integrate dancing into Shantae's movement, and make dancing more involved in general. Holding a button to cycle through animations is boring. The original Shantae made them require button combinations but even that was kind of dull.
Its honestly kinda creepy, but whatever I guess.
As long as you leave the vidya discussion threads to us..
This is the problem with transformations in a nutshell and why PC has the best and smoothest gameplay.
Which is both great and terrible since it shows what they can do when the game and player isn't being constrained by the transformation system, but to achieve this the one gimmick that makes the games unique has to be dropped cold turkey to become another metroidvania.
>multiplat
>will sell overwhelmingly on switch
>shantae will still get in smash because nintendo are too retarded to leverage that for exclusivity even though it would boost sales significantly
Who living the cuck life?
Cool. I like Shantae games.
Maybe they could incorporate the dancing into her attack animations? Give her some light combos and heavy combos. Obviously a butt smash somewhere in there, along with her classic hair whip.
Then just have the transformations be more versatile. I mean really, bat and crab are cute and all, but put them in a mini-game or something, and just give us harpy and mermaid.
Anything that's not the best is automatically shit, you should know that by now.
You should probably upload your pregs to imgur or mega or something.
The correct option would be to allow her to transform from form to form. (even in midair so you could do something like Monkey Bullet into Elephant Stomp)
i advocate for dancing to have additional functions like it did in the first game.
i disagree that the forms should no longer be tied to it, i like the dancing, and the complaints people have with HGH are problems of level design and forms not being interesting. partially brought on by how fast the switches were, one note works fine for pirate gear, but the transformations fundamentally aren't the same.
they worked fine in the first game, but they never iterated on that framework, dancing has great potential as an interesting way of doing magic, and i will never be happy with discarding it.
The game fucked up so hard though
>return to levels but there will be no new locations to discover within these levels even with new danceformations
>levels don't start off disconnected and only accessible by a world map only to allow players to discover paths that link locations and open up a second phase for the game while doing so
>art style was shit
I think they streamlined it so people couldnt break the levels, but I completely agree with you.
I would also like a return to the rhythm game-style dance transformations, but incorporate it into her combat system and have it end in her transformation. Increase the amount of enemies slightly, and put all of it together. That way there isnt a whole lot of wasted time and break in the game flow.
Bring back fighter gear WayFucks
Oh, and bring back maps.
Obviously that means making levels long enough that they NEED maps, but yeah. Do that.
>The best Shantae game is the one that does away with her main mechanic
Don't get me wrong. I like Shantae and all but that's pretty telling about her concept.
>Implying Wayforward didn't just forget about it
i can get behind certain moves doing damage.
you could even center dances around it, complete the sequence and shantae catches fire, continue repeating the sequence and she continues to burn, and the damaging moves shoot fire.
the fighter moves can be added to this for additional fun.
It's a reference to Leia's slave outfit in Return of the Jedi.
okay
No joke, I was literally thinking the same thing like a month ago!
Her magic would be incorporated into dancing, and have the enemies be damaged by certain moves. Have her hair more varied and do swoops, sweeps, spins and jabs as well as whips. Make the dance steps shorter for magic moves like fire or pikeball, and the reward should be getting to use it.
Then have the transformation dances be dance-combat, with a successful pulloff being the transformation into the creature you chose to dance into.
What the fuck is apple arcade, is this some more streaming bullshit.
there's nothing wrong with risky's revenge besides being short
They claim to be but they really aren't.
>innies
repulsive
Apple's new thing. Same as Stadia, but not cloud based.
I actually like HGH, I just didnt like reuse of the levels for the DLC
you could just give me a 3d or 2d environment where I have to use transformations to explore and find secrets and I will be happy
I wonder. What if they surprise everyone and make a 3D platformer?
here's another layer.
have the dancing be tied to the current BGM, the faster the song, the faster you can cast. if the time signature changes to a really weird one, then you'll need to adapt.
an ingame walkman can allow you to choose the song that's playing, and do stuff you normally couldn't in certain areas.
magical effects can either rely on completing a sequence and causing them, or repeating a sequence to maintain one.
shantae sucks
Would this have been announced if there wasn't an Apple Arcade?
That's the part that bothers me.
Nah senpai, this is fictional innies. They're 10/10
Not today, no. Depending on how much they have to show, it might have been during the next Nintendo Direct, or maybe E3.
Are you my soul sister?
Or brother, Idk if youre a boy or not
That sounds absolutely amazing.
On that same note, you can have the tempo of the combat music be linked to the difficulty..
But that might mean you have to create a combat version of each stage's BGM.. I wouldnt be opposed to it, but it might take alot of time to produce.
The alternative is having one or two combat tracks that play each time you face groups of enemies
If they decide to make multiple characters playable, I hope they don't do the same fucking thing they did with HGH
Thanks for your opinion.
Not opinion, fact. Shantae is garbage.
Who's developing?
WayForward isn't an answer, they've contracted Inti-Creates the last two games.
Also, why is the background underwater
It doesn't seem like Apple Arcade is the lead platform, nor does it seem like they really have anything to show yet, so it's likely Apple did give them some encouragement to make this announcement.
Because all the transformations will be ocean based. The crab is returning.
to expand, I mean you can have the different tempos of combat music be influenced by which difficulty setting the player chose at the start of the game.
Easy - slow tempo
Normal -regular tempo
Hard -fast tempo
>Hopes
It will be good as, if not better than PC
>Expectations
It will be a Shantae game
I don’t know if it was announced at their event but they were waiting for the Apple Arcade announcement
If its anything like the prior games, it'll be a half decent platformer with pacing issues thats insanely overpriced.
Unless its somehow incredible im not buying. Shatae should be a show, not a game.
Probably not, I imagine they would've waited until they had some proper footage to show first.
Wayforward also announced that Shantae/Bolo game the same day the Apple Watch was announced.
>more porn
HGH feels like their most genuine platforming attempt but I do agree that their entries up until that were a slog.
I feel they could do the Wonderboy format right if were faster paced at the start instead of buying hairwhip upgrades for it. The Mega Man X-ish format was okay but also kinda feels short.
twitter.com
No idea if this has been posted yet, looks pretty similar to HGH
Friendly reminder that Shantae is a mediocre series that people only care about because of waifus, its only redeeming factor.
Yes, because it's not owned by another company.
no need for a combat BGM, there's no distinction between combat dancing and regular dancing, some moves hurt stuff, others don't.
not much movement while dancing, but depending on the effects you're producing that isn't a problem. it wouldn't replace basic combat.
if you want fighter gear/ moves to be involved as part of the dancing procedure, then you can have them be a result of simple sequences, and have a tier of sequences consisting of other sequences.
as for difficulty, i'm not too sold on doing that, sometimes fast is easier, sometimes slow is easier.
That REALLY looks like HGH.
Looks like a dungeon so it’s already significantly better than HGH
i want to suck her breast and lick her armpit
Does 1/2 Genie Hero have a major decrease in difficulty over Pirate's Curse?
I mean I beat PC with only two hearts and I see 1/2GH has a hardcore mode and a bunch of others.
Post moar Shantae fan-art and alt-art!
Inti Creates just did the artwork, WayForward developed the games.
Hm... yeah youre right. I got a little carried away.
Still its amazing how you managed to sync with me on these ideas.
I didnt mean to imply that combat dancing would be different from regular dancing, either; the only difference would be if there are enemies present or not. They would still be moves that hurt anything that wandered into Shantae.
I meant to add that the difficulty was also tied into the skill of pulling off the dances, since faster tempos would mean you can screw up more easily and slower tempos would mean you can plan ahead before the step even comes (a la DDR)
The base game is significantly easier. There is a power up that even gives you infinite magic making you invincible. Hardcore mode is harder that Pirate’s Curse but not in a super fun way really it just makes the start of the game frustrating. The extra modes are for most part harder as well but just overall aren’t as good.
WF made the last two games. Inti did art for PC.
My body is ready.
Something lies at the bottom of the ocean that will allow Shantae to finally contact her mother face to face.
You can easily get a bunch of overpowered items and powerups to recover health extremely easily and shred through enemies in normal mode, so yeah. Hardcore mode exists to remedy that and it's way more difficult than anything in previous games.
They did the art for HGH too and also 5 from the looks of it.
Or one level is set in an underwater mermaid kingdom or something.
twitter.com
This looks like the only gameplay we have on Shantae 5 atm.
So far, it looks like the artstyle was completely revamped and has a higher quality to it.
The screen area also looks much bigger
thatd be dope.
>They did the art for HGH too
It's possible, but I know the designs were WF.
Mobile-kun, if you're in this thread, please fucking consider this.
Hype!
the tempo isn't constant, it would factor in to how dangerous an area or section was, another tool to tweak what can be done, and bring the music more into the fore.
the difficulty shouldn't make dances easier directly, just increase the window that's considered correct a bit if you really want to. higher difficulties would have more dangerous and numerous enemies, more erratic bosses, and less safety nets in platforming sections.
it's not about making shantae more or less capable, but making the challenges and enemies more or less formidable.
most of the assets are done now since they can just use the stuff from hgh and hell they don't need to worry about making a lot of movesets
Yeah that sounds pretty good, honestly~
Hopefully WF is reading this thread. Maybe they might get some ideas!
If they havent already thought of this stuff
>expectations
A mediocre platformer.
shawntey by roy age 24
are we getting away from Sequin Land? so tired of the same forest, jungle, desert, spookland stage combo. May as well ditch Boko, Sky, and zombitch as well. they're all tapped out.
What KIND of transformations do you guys want to see?
I'd like a Naga, tiger, Succubus, and/or Dragon
I really miss this art style.
i doubt they come here.
so far it looks like it repeats a lot of HGH, but with more interesting levels.
spells are still an equipable tied to a meter, and movement looks similar.
jury is still out on how many or how good the transformations are, but considering everybody complained about the HGH menu, i think at least the selection process will improve.
we'll have to see as more information becomes available.
>utter garbage
Why are Metroidvania autists so melodramatic?
lovely tummies. thank you
Bowsette
Neat, though I hope its better than the last one. That one felt like it was an episodic game that was haphazardly slappped together into a singular game.
>hopes
I hope it will make me erect
>expectations
I expect it to make me erect
I think it's time they should admit one of those things
- Pirate's Curse was the best game because of its tempo and volume of content so maybe trying to do dancing that doesn't work again and again with pittance of levels really isn't the best way to go about the series
- Shantae is only good as wank fodder so where's that sex with Risky minigame
I hope they don't make the levels do that blank foggy shit after you cleared them like the last game.
I think most of us do, but the OP pic looks better than the plastic-y look that HGH went with, so its at least a compromise between the styles if they go with that~
Hm.. we shouldnt expect radical changes, but I still love talking about possibilities. Discussing ways to fix problems and make them awesome are so much fun and they could lead to positive changes~
test
>>Sudden announcement out of nowhere
It got announced at the same event as Arcade.
Apple probably paid them some good money.
Does anyone have the Risky designs pages?
her hair is the shape of the number 5, adorable!
bottomless, topless, full nude
Reminder that Shantae probably has a nice patch of pubes
this game so far looks better than HGH, whether it lives up to PC remains to be seen.
i'm optimistic it will be fun.
and i want a rerelease/remaster of the first one
oh SHIT
For Spider to not be completely useless again
>Hope
-Plenty of interaction between you and the characters
-Traveling from town to town/Pirate curse system
-New characters to give a shit about
>Expectation
-Level based like the fucking fourth
-Half-assed to shit
-SJW pandering despite Shantae's look
They should just make it a porn game already
Same! I loved the first game.
I also hope that the day/night cycle will return. And maybe the return of different environmental palettes for characters?
Thanks
Please be good, please be good, please be good.
Armadillio
Pistol Shrimp
Fairy
Fucking bubbles!
I want the last part of the game to not be the equivalent of HGH "Oh fuck we forgot to do anything with backer created content outside of NPCs in Scuttle Town and the Jew Snake, cram them all in these last levels."
day/night was fun, but could be frustrating at times. pop in a dance to switch and all is well.
different palettes for different characters was a technical limitation, but a version of it to simulate colored lighting could be nice.
throw in cute costumes with minor tweaks to gameplay parameters for a little extra fun, you can even have broken ones at endgame so finding all the hidden goodies isn't such a pain, like wearing a bush to avoid enemies or x-ray specs to see hidden stuff, or have challenges centered around them.
s-she will come back right
Best baby squid killer
Those bubbles are slightly transparent. You can still see everything. Be gracious.
Can I have the source?
Just do whatever species of monster girl that Monster Musume makes relevant. Cowgirl Shantae when? She could have increased defense, eat grass to find items, and produce Super Monster Milk on the fly at the cost of half or most of her HP/magic, whichever you prefer.
Also, she wears little cow ears.
5 CUTE facts about shantae!
-shes a girl!
-shes friends with a zombie!!
-i love her!!!!
-shantae!!!!!!
is this the only series where the official art is always better than the fan art?
Why did HGH reboot the whole story? It's like Pirates curse didnt happen.
>shes a girl!
>shes friends with a zombie!!
>i love her!!!!
>shantae!!!!!!
But thats only 4 facts, user
5 CUTE facts about Risky!
-She's a good pirate queen!
-She's bigger than Shantae ever will be!
-She commands possibly hundreds of mortals without breaking a sweat!
-I love Risky!!!!
here's hoping
why was risky crying
it's cute that she is though
based
SHE'S BACK
She lost her bust support skull.
Now her boobs look saggy.
I kinda wanna see a stealth section again, that was fun while it lasted.
It could be in a snow level this time
make a shadow moses homage wayforward you fucks, I know you like metal gear
I don't think they would make gameplay elements for Shantae's friends just to never use them again.
i hope we actually learn about risky in this game
stop fucking resetting her you pieces of shit
Oh man, I just remembered when I argued with a dumbass who claimed months ago that Shantae is dead like Golden Sun because it didn't get a new game since 2016.
Which is the better get on Switch? Pirate's Curse or Half Genie Hero Ultimate Edition? Both are around the same price.
is this from a game?
a dragon form Shantae would be cool that what you meant right RIGHT
Smash roster faggots will always try to find a way to shit on your favorite characters just because they aren't playable.
this gif is EVIL and PERFECT
why evil
What is in her mouth?
Sorry user. It's time for another reboot to not confuse newcomers.
God Requiemdusk is the most based artist out there
How can one man have such good taste
>PS4
It'll be censored.
oh fuck I think I remember that thread.
is this it? boards.fireden.net
Pirate’s Curse is better but I’d say probably go for HGH since it’s on sale right now.
Oh my god I was in that thread too
>Apple Arcade
it's mobile shit
I want Shantae to sit on my face!
What the fuck is this from
>PS4 version has beams of light all over the screen at any given moment because all the female characters are cute and/or sexy
>Switch version is uncensored and will probably come with a unique mode or something
Hoping that Shantae busts them tiddies out. They need to just make this series an H-Game desu
Should I play the Shantae games in order? I have Shantae GBC on my 3DS, and HGH on Steam.
the good:
>Thank god they ditched the HGH artstyle
>see through pants are A+ thanks WF
the bad:
>will most likely be HGH's engine
>due to the praise HGH got from critics and WF dicksuckers, they probably aren't going to change much gameplay wise
>releasing on fucking Apple Arcade doesn't fucking bode well for the scope this game might be going for and any mechanics that could streamline the process are definitely not going to be in this game since input lag on a streaming console/phone box would ruin it
>shantae's boobs are smaller
Cool, will do.
Her boobs dont need to be gigantic..
Besides, they look like the same size they were from HGH
>due to the praise HGH got from critics and WF dicksuckers, they probably aren't going to change much gameplay wise
I hope not. Gameplay-wise it was so disappointing. And yet game journalists and shills treat it as a masterpiece for some fucking reason. And I say that as a huge Shantae fan.
why is that the comment you decided to take out of this
Open world with dungeons again.
Yes, there is a continuity, if you care about that at all.
>>shantae's boobs are smaller
Wtf are you talking about? They're pretty much the same size. Also she never had big boobs in the first place.
Critics gave the game massive praise, both in America and overseas, it's the highest rated game in her series and it sold the most. WF dicksuckers gave the game a shit ton of praise with I think the only critic to actually talk about the numerous issues the game had being SomecallmeJohnny. As far as WF knows, HGH's approach is the version of the series that Shantae fans and the general audience enjoys, so expect this game to play like that(and probably more tedious since it's also a phone game)
I doubt Apple Arcade shit will matter much. And the engine is confirmed HGH and visually looks pretty much the exact same. The good news is the area looks like it could be a dungeon.
>user puts an obvious joke in his post about the possible places this new game might mess up in
>that's the only thing people actually care about
I’m willing to wait until we see the game at least before judging. WayForward is capable of good game design and thinking for themselves, and HGH had its scope severely limited by being a Kickstarter that didn’t hit everything they wanted to hit. Even then, the extra modes somewhat save it.
I mean the game has to be optimized to run on literal phones, that kind of puts a limit on how much they can actually do with the game.
I'm so happy to see my reaction image being used
its because the others are not really easy to prove or disprove so far
boob thing is...easy to argue over due to the visual information available to us.
How'd I do?
>didn't hit everything they wanted to hit
the game got twice its original goal what are you talking about?
I was also hyped as hell for HGH until I actually played it and got super disappointed. And when I was seeing all this positive feedback I was like "What the hell am I missing here?".
It's literally in the credits. Inti did the art for HGH.
I just want more Shantae. I bough her games with my dick and they didn't disappoint aside for HGH a little.
decent but you can sub 2 hrs.
There was more stretch goals than what we got. At least two more chapters, full voice acting, and a fucking animated short
The extra chapters. It was kinda clear with the way Nega Shantae was used in the main game and what the chapters were conceptually that the game was envisioned with those as part of the complete experience. It’s also telling with how short some of the back levels in HGH are as well that they kinda ran out of money at some point.
>>bolo still suffers
Stop, he don't deserve this
but now it's limited to multiple factors:
>development for multiple systems
>development for mobile phone compatibility(Apple Arcade)
>budget consists of how much they made off of HGH minus any funds spent on developing that Contra clone, Mummy Demastered, and any other games they made since HGH along with general salary accommodating for the new employees they've hired since then
>development being split from 5hantae and that Contra clone they're making, and the debugging work they're doing on Bloodstained instead of everyone working on HGH.
>Not Boloette
So I should play all the games in chronological order then?
It’s not like Shantae games are super graphic intensive games and the series has been on iOS in the past. Also chances are if anything goes it would be the 3D elements which would unironically make the game look visually better.
It'll be shit but I'll jerk off anyway.
Bolo will always deserve it.
at the same time i can't blame him for falling for risky every single time.
Raped Risky best Risky
who plans their kickstarter project around what could happen if they hit the later stretch goals? any competent developer would have an idea of what their plan of attack would be if they just barely hit their goal and would have some general idea of the scope they could feasibly hit with just barely hitting their goal. Plus that's some pretty poor money handling if they ran out near the end of development... other projects have made less and still delivered much larger scope games...
>bolo deserves it
for what reason?
Well, the other stuff you said is basically
>yay artstyle change
>yay see-through pants (the promo art might not be the same as the in-game art)
>boo same engine (not confirmed)
>boo same gameplay (also not confirmed)
>boo release on Apple Arcade (doesnt mean it cant be on other systems)
And I didnt really have anything to say about that.
I just thought complaining about her boob size seemed kinda petty and wanted to say they were consistent since like, the last 2 games, if you care about it that much..
It looks like dungeons have returned, so Im really happy about that
I don’t think the multiplat thing is as big an issue. Shantae has been on phones before too.
We don’t know about the funding or how long it has been in development either. For all we know someone is bankrolling them, and Shantae has gotten bigger between HGH funding and now. Hell, she didn’t even exist in Japan back then and now she’s getting boxed releases on shit in multiple countries.
I’m not saying it’s guaranteed great, but it isn’t a guaranteed shitshow either. I’m taking the wait and see while being optimistic approach until proven otherwise.
i'm talking about gameplay, you can't have super streamlined transformation shit or half the shit that was mentioned earlier in this thread if you're limited to the control scheme of a phone
how are dungeons confirmed, all we see is a literal jpeg that's just shantae in front of some water with a silhouette of her house
Yes. I think they claim HGH is a prequel, but honestly, it feels like a sequel. I think it even references past events from the GBC game, so I don't know how that could possibly be true.
>New Shantae game
>Will still never appear in Smash
Why live
That’s completely null with phones now since they all support controllers. It probably will have shit touch controls but WayForward would have to be completely retarded to let that hinder the other versions since it shouldn’t even be an issue for the mobile version.
>I don’t think the multiplat thing is as big an issue
it's more that they're making all versions at the same time where as before it's been one then the other would come when they made enough to port it, now they are simultaneously releasing, which is good because they must have more money, but bad because it's going to cost them more to actually finish this, and considering that HGH was missing a shit ton and overall was pretty bare despite making twice it's kickstarter goal, that's a bit concerning.
Oh you didnt see the clip
twitter.com
Also Im not saying theyre confirmed, just that, it appears similar to previous dungeons in past Shantae games
because he does it to himself, by fucking up constantly, classic slapstick.
>Hopes
Bolo and Risky married with childrens
>Expectations
Another HGH with better design
There is a 5ish second gameplay clip
>twitter.com
that's literally just HGH's sprite... are we sure it's not the same engine?
Not sure why anyone would say otherwise it most definitely is
>Hopes
Literally anything even remotely interesting to validate buying a game just because a cute girl is in it.
>Expectations
Another mind-numbingly bland platformer with absolutely nothing of interest beyond cute girls.
Not that the cute girls are bad but I'm not buying it when I can just watch the parts that have cute girls and immediately get the only reason to buy the game.
They also announced a new Contra-like game, Spidersaurs, disappointingly enough, it's an Apple Arcade exclusive. I can only imagine this is another subscription base platform.
Looking forward to this game’s release and more lewds when it drops.
well considering they're advertising the Apple Arcade version more(it was literally announced because of it) it seems like the main game will be built around that service more than the Switch or PS4.
It looks like different art altogether. If it is using the same HGH sprite, it might just be a placeholder. But from this clip, it looks a bit different to me.
it's a subscription based thing that ties into cloud based gaming between PC and mobile devices. Mobile, being the main one.
To this day, Redmoa is STILL the only animator that's done good Shantae smut
It's a star wars reference dumbass
Apple is help on this no?
sounds dreadful.
It's Holly edited into the Pokédex from Pokémon Black, White, Black 2 & White 2.
I wouldn't doubt it if it turns out Apple is helping fund it and that's why the game is coming to their phone streaming thing.
Not the one I was talking about. It was specifically a Golden Sun fan who taunted me (January~February) and said Shantae is dead like his series.
Just give us Pirate's Curse gameplay, a giant world with lots of levels to explore, transformations to be instantaneous, and the art to not suck. I like HGH but after PC it is a letdown.
Apple Arcade isn't streaming.
It's a "pay us and download what you want" service.
it's still a stream to your phone and PC service though...
you remember any specific words that i can use to search for it?
not really, they have “console experience” games too
that pokedex ui looks pretty gross
What romhack is this?
but the games are made to be played on phones... that's the whole point of the service
or apple paid them to announce it at a certain time.
what shantae game shoula i start with
but they are also making an Apple Exclusive game too, chances are Apple gave them a certain amount of money in exchange for an exclusive and Shantae 5
iTODDLERS BTFO
Release order: GBC, RR, SatPC and HGH
I tried looking for it in the archives but I couldn't find it.
makes sense.
We'll give you some money if you make us an exclusive for our new service and make us a port for your newest game.
Soldier of Fortune, best game ever
Best news I've heard all day
Honestly, I'm just looking forward to the game.
mmm... good point, well as long as it’s not like super meat boy forever
Never mind I found it, and it's perfectly under my post as well.
Years later and there's still no logo-less HQ version of this NP cover art for Pirate's Curse official announcement.
>Wayforward supports streamshit
Ouch. Well, there goes my support for them. Will make sure to pirate this one.
Apple Arcade isn't streamshit you dumbass. It's kind of like the Windows store.
You can buy the game at the other platforms. Just saying. And I bet that will be in retail version too, like the previous ones.
>A game begins development the day it's announced
okay, dumbass
Why is Yea Forums eager to talk about Shantae? I thought y'all hated her if the Smash threads are to be believed.
>Section where you transform into giga mermaid and tear thought waves of enemies with ease culmination with a 1 on 1 against either against another giant monster girl or Risky Boots in a steam powered boat mecha!
>Return of squidsmit
>Treat the transformation more like stances with full sets of moves so you can fight while in animal form with more than 1 or 2 moves ergo making fighting with the animal forms not a chore…
people do hate her, but with a new game it gives people the opportunity to say what they would do to fix her shitty formula
No no user, those are the shitposters. If it's not Shantae they're using for shitposting, it's literally any other character people want in that isn't already in. Why do you think Smash threads don't have Ridley or KRool shitposters anymore?
>Treat the transformation more like stances with full sets of moves so you can fight while in animal form with more than 1 or 2 moves ergo making fighting with the animal forms not a chore…
lol no, WF cares more about having a million transformations that only have one use, especially since people didn't call them out for that with HGH
Most rosterfags are cancerous parasites who come here from other sites because of the hype season.
Full frontal?
>the "Yea Forums is one person" meme
Shantae is one of the better liked games on Yea Forums, based Roy even funded enough to put some fine art in the HGH gallery.
Smashfags just love to shit on everything.
This. And they whine and complain about the same 3 things without having ever even played the game
>New Shantae game is announced
>I'm flooded with people complaining about her age oppose from the fact we got a new game to begin with
I felt it coming and I'm still disappointed.
Is that a knick knack reference?
Please go back to Sprites.
Kirby series changed that, so can Shantae.
but WF isn't HAL, they operate completely differently. Chances are, they literally won't change a single thing about how this game plays(especially since it looks like the same engine)
I hope it's as good as Pirate's Curse. 1/2 Genie Hero was fine but Pirate's Curse was way better.
I dunno, how many megaman games are there?
and most of them are mediocre or garbage
They gave it every mode they said they would. They recycled the hell out of the level content but they did deliver. Not bad for 20 bucks on KS
Should Shantae get a love interest?
Hard pass if it looks similar in visual style to HGH.
I'm guessing your favorite is 2
Sorry user, you missed a trend last year where people were making a ton of Knick Knack themed smut by taking a character and making them look like the character Sunny Miami
>that ducktales remake
I completely forgot that came out. I'm glad they got Alan Young just before he died.
That honestly wouldnt suit her style.
Shantae does whatever she pleases and being tied down would only slow her down or give Risky or her other arch nemesis's a target to make Shantae go after instead of doing her job and that just sounds boring
No, but I'm fine with all her friends being in-lesbians with her.
The pixel art has more soul. And idle animations.
Yes and it should be me.
I sure did. Didn't know about that.
Yay
You know what this announcement really means? New rottytops theme remix
>years worth of Shantae news, between the kickstarter updates, the game actually releasing, and Smash predictions/shitposting
>time for round 2
Give me my fucking Mighty Switch Force 3. Give me anything else at all god damn.
already?
>New Shantae
I hope they don't revert back to pixel art, the hand drawn shit is good stuff
why the butt and not the belly?
never ever, now that Shantae's making money, that's all Crap Bozo cares about
MSF isn't that fun, man. I get that your boner is for Patty, but there's only so much you can do with the switching mechanic.
And another Old Spice mashup to go with it.
>Section where you transform into giga mermaid and tear thought waves of enemies with ease culmination with a 1 on 1 against either against another giant monster girl or Risky Boots in a steam powered boat mecha!
That sounds both sexy and awesome.
>I'm flooded with people complaining about her age
Isn't she a genie? She's not even loli-looking.
I hope it's just a fun game, Half Genie hero is one of the worst platformers I've ever played.
If it's similar to Pirate's Curse or even Shantae 1 that would rule.
Pixel Shantae is legitimately better than that flash-tween looking shit. But I doubt they'd go back now, when they thought it was necessary for a console title, so I'm sure you'll get your wish.
Hope to see this form make it again
God damn you people work fast.
How do I get an IRL Shantae gf?
Shantae is pretty sexy. How long until people complain and the games are censored?
get fit, you'd easily find a cute brown girl if you are in shape. Then with enough work you can convince her to dye her hair purple
I only saw one post on twitter about it myself, but they were acting as if it's some "well kept secret" that she's 16, and claims the series sexualizes her, and it's just weird. Fan art aside, I feel like the series isn't THAT sexual, at least in regards to Shantae herself.
her series is super fetish bait
That's just the default outrage when they want to complain that she's hot but know they'll be laughed at.
Why wouldn't they? You don't spend all that time and money to make all those assets just to chuck them after a single game. Pirate's Curse was still using stuff made for the cancelled GBA game. Working from HGH means they have the full cast playable, an entire suite of enemies and NPCs, and some environments all ret2go
Big Breasts: The Game
More funky jake kaufman music plz
I agree with this.
It seems like a parody of sexual situations.
It is more played for laughs at how silly and weird it is in everyday life, but it never goes anywhere actually lewd.
If it was a different series, it might actually get lewd, but it never does. It plays it for laughs and then moves on.
doesn't mean much if the foundation you're building this on is shit...
>You're invited to join Shantae in a brand-new adventure later this year
So release date 2022 confirmed, right?
>Big Breasts
I don't think you're playing the right game
Will Tuki somehow be in this?
the Shantae girls are all stacked
Calling her "16" was a mistake. She's just a cartoon. If they had said she was 18 all those annoying prudes would have had to look elsewhere for something to get a stick up their ass about.
Is this what the games look like? I'm interested in trying this series but not if it's lazy flash shit like this.
No they're just a single A 20+ year old company with a SINGLE failed franchise that achieve cult status by pretending they're an indie franchise staring a magical genie waifubait.
>tfw the best Shantae game didn't even play like a Shantae game
Nah, it's just that one
Depends on if they found out the artist that designed her did all that weird shit with her.
Doubtful, being that she was a fan made character. I don't know what their agreement looked like, but it would be wise for them to move away from that for rights reasons.
what was wrong with the assets?
They are, but everyone will claim that them simply having an IP of their own on multiple systems means they aren't, but then those same people probably think Yacht Club is indie.
What weird shit?
>tweening automatically equal bad.
Funny How so many Minor Characters (Giga maermaid, Squidsmit, Twitch and Vinegar) Have more fans than Sky!Shantae vs Risky is pretty much BOOBS VS ASS.
Vore. Lots and lots of Vore that is somehow sexual.
Hard not to notice. I think the key to making a true Shantae game as fun as Pirate's Curse is to make transformations even more streamlined. HGH had the right idea, but I bet they could do it even better than that.
Pretty much this. I wouldn't be surprised if this game takes place later in the series so they can just make her 18.
the Switch eshop release of Ultimate Edition is actually 25% off right now until 4/7, so it seems like a good idea to grab it there, but I'm not sure if there are better deals first other version before or in the future
Needs to be a porn game already.
Goodnight anons, hopefully tonight I have dreams of cuddling with cute brown half genie.
its pretty retarded where they are complaining about a character cause of an arbitrary "age" applied to them. its fictional, who cares. You're telling me these fucks would clam up the moment she was announced as 18 with not a single design change?
Sky is pretty and all, but super vanilla and doesn't have much to her personality aside from coming off as a bit of a nag. She's the responsible one, but not many people like that kind of character. Not nearly as fun as the carefree Rotty, for example.
These people take fiction way too seriously. And not even in a fun way.
>2 threads both 450+ replies
>no mention of how incredible the '5' design in the logo is
you degenerates are interested in one thing and one thing only
It's because they want to feel morally superior than everyone else without actually going out and doing something good, like stopping real 16 year olds from being sexualized
where's the other thread?
...
Not as fast as pokemon lewd artists. First peice was made the minute Scorbunny was revealed.
I thought it was super cool but I just didnt think to mention it.
Its grade A promo art user.
lol, if it was a purple snake it would've bit em
wrong
>Days like these make for great out of nowhere birthday gifts for people.
Have you ever had a surprise new game reveal for a series you love on your birthday user?
Will they get a better VA for Rotty?
Which Shantae is currently the best, I downloaded the one on DSi shop years ago when i first got my 3DS, the game did nothing for me, i felt super confused because everything id seen about these games screamed that they were up my alley but aside from the decent presentation the game felt really bland and boring, id like to give it a solid second go someday but maybe theres a better game?
Honestly, I actually enjoyed Half Genie Hero. I dunno why people hate it so much. It's not the best game I've ever played, but it's fairly enjoyable for what it is.
>Not announced on Nindies
Does this means she is not in?
Unfortunately I haven't played Pirate's Curse, I've only played Half-Genie Hero. Why does everyone hate HGH? I enjoyed it myself.
I really hope they add more aspects of 1 into this game, that title did so many things right. The dancing, the minigames, the overworld, the kung fu moves, you could easily defend yourself in any form, lots of secrets and cool shit to find. Dancing wasn't just transformation, you could also learn teleport dances and shit.
We'll likely now get some more info at E3...what a better time to right after or some time after during the Direct a Smash reveal?
Not bad, people just expected more.
nah more likely they aren't going to say anything until the end of the year like a month before the game releases, save a few snippets of gameplay on their twitter
she's in bros
yeah right...
Please be more like Pirate Curse and less like Half Genie Hero
Risky better be lewd is all I'm asking for.
It's a perfectly fine game, the problem was it raised a shitload of money and people were expecting something great at the minimum. It certainly doesn't help it came after Pirate's Curse, which was a hell of a fun game.
>PS4
they will heavily censor this game, won't they?
WF doesn't fall for the censor scam. People tried it with HGH and they didn't give a fuck. At the most, Sony might demand alterations to it on their console. All the more reason to just get it on Switch or PC.
What would happen if Risky figured out she had an entire legion of fans that were basically at her beck and call given our "Sure I'll do it for lolz" attitude?
This
>ywn take a bath with risky
>imgur.com
meh, could do better
I do believe I am not out of line when I say FUCK YEAH, BITCHES!!!!
her face looks kind of scared, what happened
I like it. There's not enough material of Shantae granting her own wishes.
what is the bolo option?
it bolos
this is the most non canon image in the internet
This is the only one I got. I wish there was more Anti-Steve stuff to spam at them.
Oh no you don't. First hit bump limit, then you can die.
OKAY... Shantae thread, you need to leave!
Now that's more like it. Good thread, guys.
I cant wait.
I don't know how getting lewd with her would work out, but I want to try.
It is very simple.
Unbirthing.
Is she even equipped down there?
>ponytail shaped like a 5
Cute.
Yes!
