Rosterfags, stay back. I want to talk about Shantae and the Seven Sirens.
What are your hopes? What new transformations do you want to see this time around? I'd like to see an Octopus transformation, personally. Something like the mermaid but instead of the tail, it is tentacles.
A little thing I'd like is having some alternate costumes (that don't change the gameplay like HGH's DLC did).
>Worthless indie Shantae is worth more than most indie games out there. >Pixelshit Someone must have slept under a rock after Pirate's Curse released because HGH and now this new one aren't pixelated.
Noah Gonzalez
>Elephant is finally gone >but will probably be replaced functionally with a fucking whale transformation or something
there’s no escape
Ryder Ross
Nah, if they needed a new water based transformation to smash through things, it'll probably be a shark. At least it'd look cool and maybe do more than the elephant ever could
Jacob Cook
It should have been replaced ages ago by Dragon girl or something else something smaller but packing the same punch… Also I hope this game finally lets her transform into something huge and OP while wreaking wave after wave of enemies
She almost got a succubus transformation in HGH if I'm not mistaken. Would be great. Wave after wave of tinkerbats just getting destroyed by monster girl Shantae.
For no reason at all, this makes me wish she had a slime transformation like the slime girls in HGH.
Colton Price
Do you all still think this is slated for a 2019 release?
Bentley Torres
I'm sure it is. If it were to be changed, they would've announced with the game's name. I expect November or December
Noah Thompson
There's no way
David Barnes
Early 2020 at best.
Juan Miller
should I buy it on release or are they gonna do an "ultimate edition" like last time?
>that don't change the gameplay like HGH's DLC did Hey, I liked that it changed the gameplay. Just wish it could have changed a bit more than just the gameplay though, like have the bosses behave a little differently or something.
William Rivera
DLC probably won’t happen since it’s back to being a Metroidvania.
James Cox
That's true. It would actually take effort to change the dungeons as opposed to HGH's version of DLC where they just changed the platforms and enemies a bit. Aside from stuff like Risky mode, Hardcore mode, Friends to the End, and Police mode of course.
Ian Wood
OH YEAH SOME LOLI IN BIKINI THIS IS TOTALLY WORTH 60 BUCKS
Lucas Ortiz
Canon fact that Twitch can't take any action without a ten-second delay.
Dylan Cook
implying i didn't pirate that game
stay seething friend
Samuel Peterson
It's actually only $20. You would know this if you bothered to visit the game's shop page on whatever console/computer of your choice.
Jose Bell
When was this reveal? I must have missed the Yea Forums thread about it
There’ll be a demo and presumably a trailer next week at PAX.
Owen James
I want the transformations to function like the pirate upgrades: 1 ability binded to buttons or combos like the ground pound no transformation screens plz/ty
maybe some extra funding for releasing on apple too?
Thomas Stewart
>My hopes for the game
Well i want the main game to be longer thats for sure. Half genie was real short. Balance the transformations so that they are more useful (looking at you mouse and spider forms) Also less animal forms and more monster girl forms (definitly not my fetish *cough cough*).
Also story wise for the seven sirens i hope they make a plot twist and not make risky a siren and instead make it Bolo, meant to be female but somehow became a guy. I dunno bout you guys but it feels boring that through some stroke of luck the 3 girls shantae interacts with(sky rotty and risky) are somehow sirens important to the plot.
Justin Parker
If they're going to do anything, they need to remove the fucking tedious scripted sections, there were far too many in HGH and they weren't fun at all.
Jaxson Wright
But if the four new sirens are half-genies, then does that mean Sky and Rotty are, too?
>but it feels boring that through some stroke of luck the 3 girls shantae interacts with(sky rotty and risky) are somehow sirens important to the plot. We don't know that.
After the announcement, on twitter the devs said that all 7 sirens were on the banner. Banner having shantae, 4 new girls, rotty, risky and sky(plus bolo)
Didn't they also confirm the new girls were also half-genies like Shantae?
Nicholas Powell
Found some interesting things while on my search for the specific tweet.
August 15. >The abilities are more like Pirate's Curse; the world layout is more like Shantae 1 or Risky's Revenge; the visuals are more like Half-Genie Hero. >Dancing will be handled a bit differently in this game. Details coming at a later time! >Steam at launch, plus Humble and GOG (but not necessarily at launch). >Shantae is the only planned playable character at this time. >Though it's possible some characters from past games will return as bosses, we are not, generally speaking, re-using bosses from past games. >Just one big, interconnected world containing multiple areas and labyrinths! We're not ready to share the number of dungeons just yet. >Dancing will be different than before, but there will still be dancing animations! (Not for creature transformations, however!)
couldnt find a confirmation for this
Zachary Perry
And of course being the dumbass i am forgot the main tweet i was looking for
>Formerly referred to as Shantae 5, Shantae and the Seven Sirens sends the belly-dancing, hair-whipping, half-genie hero to a tropical island where Shantae and her friends encounter other Half-Genie allies, but they soon learn there’s trouble in paradise. As Shantae gets caught up in the island’s sinister secrets, she’ll use all-new dance abilities and instant-transformation Fusion Magic to explore the nonlinear, interconnected world where she’ll visit multiple towns, overcome treacherous labyrinths, and battle dastardly bosses. The game also features a new collectible card system that grants players the freedom to augment Shantae’s powers to suit their own style of play.
>Releasing on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Apple Arcade
>Explore an interconnected world using new Fusion Magic creature transformations, including a newt and other aquatic forms! >4K-resolution hand-painted visuals (on 4K devices only)! >All-new characters and returning favorites like Rottytops, Sky, Bolo, and the nefarious Risky Boots! >Collect and power up with monster cards! >Enjoy minigames, acquire magic and items, and uncover secrets! >Gorgeously animated TV-style cutscenes!
Owen Hernandez
I’m pretty sure they’re fucking around. They also said that Shantae might be on the island because she got fired again, even though it’s an obvious vacation episode.
Luis Perez
They could easily do both at once.
>Hey i got fired so this time im going on vacation, i know hell want me back later so ill be fine.
Justin Hill
So yeah, the new girls are indeed half-genies.
And it's about time that we finally get to see nore of them. The first game implied they were supposed to be all over the place.
Landon Miller
Its going to be fucking Wrench, isnt it?
Jackson Cox
Considering how hot genies are every single male should be looking for a genie to plow, before the pirate master send everything to hell at least
Wyatt Bailey
yeah. good to see more if genie girls are lke shantae herself. lots of half genies are expected
That was the plot, yes. Almost every town gets a guardian.
Adam Scott
The first game's manual had a whole thing about many half-genies being charged to protect the world, but none but Shantae have ever been seen and no other towns ever had any genies.
Jacob Gray
I’d love more lewd scenes like the Princess Temple in Pirate’s Curse.
I second this. Bozon obviously just wants to make an anime. And it would probably be better than his games, which are very hit or miss (more miss). Then, with a competent company making an anime series focused on story, he can stop trying to shove cutscenes into the games. And just make a true 2D Action/Platformer with open ended exploration. The thing holding Shantae back is the need to block you from certain areas because of story triggers.
Smoother transformations between the forms. HGH was a step up from RR but I'd like if they were implemented more like the pirate items in pirate's curse rather than a fully fledged transformation. I'll still buy it because the games are fun. Although it feels like I'm the only one that actually likes them as games.
Can a man not like the games AND want to see Shantae in sluttier costumes? Also checked.
Anthony Perez
I like them as actual games too! Sometimes the gameplay doesn't work out quite as well (looking at you Beach Mode) but most everything else about Shantae makes for a good, if short time.
Angel Edwards
Oh I'm fine with the lewdposting. I just see a lot of people trash the games constantly.
Angel Wright
>I'd like if they were implemented more like the pirate items in pirate's curse rather than a fully fledged transformation. Good news: >she’ll use all-new dance abilities and instant-transformation Fusion Magic Sounds like they're doing exactly that
Samuel Price
More than that, it's how he keeps making each new Shantae game more cutscene focused. And like I said, he should make the games more like Metroid and let the story be told by a spin off TV show.
That said, if Bozon is the one writing the outline and plot, I doubt the show will be good. Sorry dude, but you need to let actual good people write the outline and storyboards.
Normal game thread: >question or discussion about gameplay or story
Shantae thread: >I wanna put my penis inside Shantae character
Conclusion:
Shantae fanbase wanks to the character designs and riske situations rather than the games. They spend more time looking at fan art between games rather than playing them.
>I don't even want to fuck Shantae. Well arent you just King Faggot?
Ayden Johnson
Most of the posts are about gameplay and story
Jayden Cruz
>Normal game thread: >>question or discussion about gameplay or story This doesn't exist on Yea Forums, regardless of game.
Christopher Anderson
Necrophiliacs get out
Andrew Gray
>One big interconnected world How do you feel about this rather than each map tied to a level select screen? Personally, I really like it.
Sebastian Ramirez
Spunkskull aka gamer thread
Bentley Powell
I mean, if she offered, or wanted to, sure. And Risky, absolutely.
But Shantae always struck me as "cute" more than "hot".
Happy.
David Bailey
I hope they bring back the world loop. SatPC was going to have them when it was supposed to be a traditional Metroidvania.
Noah James
>But Shantae always struck me as "cute" more than "hot". For some people, the cute girls are the hot ones. With Shantae, they're all the same body with a different color scheme. So the personality is really the only thing that makes them unique. Unless you have a fetish for green/grey skin I guess.
Man, Shantae’s a shortstack compared to the rest of them isn’t she?

you're messing with the wrong fanbase stop or I swear it won't end well for you
Indeed. Best thing we're ever gonna get from it too.
Caleb Rogers
I’m having FUN user.
Carter Rivera
They made a Duck Tales Remaster. Which was actually their best game yet. Better than any of their original games. And I imagine it sold a ton. Wish they had made a remaster of Duck Tales 2 before Alan Young passed.
Christopher Jones
>still using that shitty old model that makes her look like a tranny To be fair though, the new model is locked behind a paywall. All I'm saying is that I wouldn't use the old model even if it's free.
>genuinely funny cheesy dialog >sweet soundtrack >cute girls Pirate's Curse is the only one that is actually a good game though.
Caleb Jones
I wanna grab that ring and pull down swiftly.
Joseph Lewis
Resetera hates everything. They just change their argument depending on the source. That was the point.
>we demand more people of color >no, not Asians! >no, not hispanic men! >no, not fictional brown women! >no, not straight women! >only ugly brown trans gender women who like other women!
Parker Phillips
That’s wrong.
also that screen cap is from tumblr
Thomas Clark
Firefly hunting Dancing minigame Another useless Rottytops minigame The return of those big ass snails from the first Shantae No Mud Bog area whatsoever Extra bosses and challenges.
Elijah Cruz
Shantae, like the rest of her infernal race, deserves to be enslaved and kept as a fuckpet.
The answer is that they hoarded the HGH kickstarter money, that's also why HGH feels incomplete even though all the expansions are out and why this game is reusing the assets from HGH
Isaac Edwards
STOP STOP STOP I FUCKING HATE YOU PIECES OF SHIT WHO CAN THINK YOU CAN TALK DOWN ON SHANTAE BECAUSE YOU WANT SOMEONE ELSE SHE HAS EARNED HER SPOT AS AN INDIE ICON WITH YEARS OF HARD WORK FROM WAYFORWARD AND HER FANBASE AND YOU CAN IGNORE THAT BUT SAKURAI WON'T SHUT UP OR DIE, AND I MEAN IT, LITERALLY END YOUR LIFE, LEAVE YOUR COMPUTER AND GO JUMP OFF A CLIFF NO ONE LIKES YOU AND THE WORLD WIILL BE BETTER WITHOUT YOU
Bozon's always given the impression that he wanted shantae to be a cartoon, even if now he acts like he doesn't, it really feels like he wanted her to be one with the stories he tells with them and his desire to add cutscenes and more animations to his games. Also doesn't help that he went to THE "I want to make cartoons" college(aka CalArts) for animation and never actually got any formal training in game design.
Justin Wright
KILL YOURSELF FUCKING NIGGER FAGGOT REIMU IS IN SHE HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE THE EARLY 2000S YOU NIGGERFAGGOT
Chase Cruz
See, this is how I know it's bait. She's been around since 1996 with the PC-98 games. If you weren't a tertiary troll with minimal knowledge of 2hu then you would know that. Now get out of my sight.
Fun fact: If this game wasn't so sexualized none of you would care about it. It's practically a softcore porn game.
Owen Lee
There's artwork of Rotty in half-genie garb but I doubt they'd reveal something like that this early. Either it's a red herring or the fusion theory is correct, which makes more sense as it would be related to an actual gameplay mechanic.
I love them as games too user. Pirate's Curse is in my top 5 just based on gameplay alone. All the girls being cute/sexy doesn't hurt either. I liked HGH enough to play through it in the different modes but I wish that the levels had been actually remixed for each mode.
they don't have to re-use outfits lets see what new outfits they can come up with
Liam Roberts
What kind of dress code requires girls to show their belly buttons?
James Butler
We already know of 3 >Shantae gets a hula outfit, probably for a minigame >Rotty gets a genie outfit for reasons >Sky is being a useless shit as usual and is just drinking on the beach in a bikini >Bolo ???
Levi Myers
As a backer character created by a furry vore artist, will Tuki be coming back
