Damn, the $10,000 reward is a boxed, factory-sealed copy of the original. You'd probably get more than $10,000 for that alone.

- Thread starter Specter Von Baren
- Start date
I doubt it. That's almost the price of Nintendo World Championships (the Gold cart) on the NES and only 26 of those were ever made.ToastiestZombie said:
A game has to be extremely rare to have that $10,000 worth of resale value in the collector market.
In fact, I found one on ebay that's sealed AND signed by Matt Bozon and it's going for $1,900

I've seen others for sale on there around $300ish.
I'm starting to really love WayFoward. They put so much care and effort in their work no matter if it's their own IP or if it's a licensed game, plus they've got some great composers too. Not to mention they're one of the only developers that isn't shunning the Wii U.
They deserve every last penny, cent and kopeck. The gameplay might seem simplistic, but if you've played Ducktales Remastered (Which would be the best platformer of the year if Rayman Legends wasn't around) you'll know WayForward will make it interesting to play.

I don't know but this game might have a very subtle stab at Miss Sarkeesian, the PC reminds me of that protagonist from her game concept but with a skimpy outfit, it's not enough to really be an infringement but still...djl3485 said:
The series has been around longer than Sarkeesian has been making videos. I ask that people please don't try and link this to Sarkeesian if at all possible unless you know it to be relevant. I really enjoy this series and I don't want this thread to just turn into yet another argument.magicmonkeybars said:
o.o
there's not 1 but 2 Shantae games coming/in the works.
welp, looks like I've more games to buy then.
but why do they need a kick starter? their other games not doing well or something? cause that'd suck if they wheren't doing well.

that's a law suit she'd lose, badly. The original Shantea game was a gameboy color game. So it's unlikely Wayforward is ripping her off.magicmonkeybars said:
I backed this along with Mighty No. 9. Might as well go on a Kickstarter binge.
Having never played Shantae I asked WayForward if I needed to have played other games to understand anything and was told it was a "fresh start", so I smell soft reboot.

They've always been a company that seems to be on the low end of the spectrum when it comes to funding, so I think the deal is that this is them trying to see if they can make the next game bigger in scope than the previous ones. But that's my conjecture.Lunar Templar said:
According the KS page this is the first multiplatform game in the series, which is to me weird cause I thought she was a Nintendo character; she's only been on their handhelds. It's more likely they want to self publish; 7 platforms is a lot of effort, and looking at it now 400k seems kinda low.Specter Von Baren said:
Between Mighty No. 9 and this it's only $35 for copies of the two games. Seems cheap to me. =PKOMega said:
BOO!! they should be rolling in it after Duck Tales alone :/Specter Von Baren said:
but, more Shantea would be good, Risky's Revenge was good, but left me wanting it to be longer.
how they gonna work around the 'She lost her genie powers' bit of that ending? Seems like an important detail to address.
I do like Shantae as much as the next person, I feel the games are very nearly up there with Rayman in quality, but why exactly does this project need to be crowdfunded?
I admit I missed out on the GBC Shantae, but I bought Risky's Revenge and am planning on buying the new 3DS one. Plus, WayForward has incoming revenue from Duck Tales. I just am having some difficulty seeing why this is necessary. Sure, I can understand them wanting to go indie -or, more like a super-indie- but is it really necessary to do this? Konami or Capcom, both of whom they have worked with in the past, would likely front this money for their game.
I will think this over. But, it is likely I will conclude that my more traditional support of the series is enough.

When I read about this I almost did a backflip at work, I can add this with my GBC copy of Shantae and the 3DS one that is coming out, plus the one on DSi.

In the third game that's on 3DS, the focus is about weaponry like swords and guns, as there game she's teaming up with Risky. Not sure what it'll be about in this game, but the developers have said that despite the loss of powers belly dancing is still going to be an important part of Shantae's moves.
Between this and Shantae & The Pirate's Curse, things are looking good for Wayforward's purple-haired genie (assuming it gets funded). Also, that 1.1 million stretch goal.. could that be voice acting? Or maybe an arranged soundtrack?
Glad to see I'm not the only one who found out about this from Nerf now -_-. As for the Kickstarter, I'm happy that at the current pace it looks like it will end up getting the needed funds, but I doubt it will pass too many of the stretch goals. Unless the funding suddenly picks up by a lot, I doubt it will get past the 500K mark.
