Don't Like it That her games go to Steam if it was first Nintendo Exsulsive, it looks how Ubisoft Did with Legends. but hope it don't change. she is a Indie Game Series and Steam is Made for that.
Anyway: ANYONE LOVES THIS SONG!!?

The difference is that Wayforward never made deals with Nintendo. Ubisoft did.

Risky's Revenge was first advertised as a DSiWare exclusive (I think) but yet it got a iOS & PC release (and 3DS & Wii U releases coming our way).

I honesty don't mind the multiplatform, especially if Half-Genie Hero doing so as well, At least the 1st 3 games were first on Nintendo platforms (and the original Shantae is still exclusive to Game Boy Color & Nintendo 3DS).

As for the Steam release of Pirate's Curse, I'll pass on buying it due to already owning both 3DS & Wii U versions.

So I've been thinking of a Shantae moveset if Nintendo worked in her transformations in a minor way.

Basic Moves
A: Basic jab, hits once like Pikachu's jab, only more range with her hair.
Side-Tilt: Shantae lightly kicks the opponent, can be angled.
Up-Tilt: Shantae whips her hair much like Greninja's or Luigi's up-tilt, in the sense that it pops them up into the air.
Down-Tilt: Shantae whips her hair, sending the opponent in a more sideways direction.
Dash Attack: Shantae slides much like Mario into the opponent. Good for avoiding projectiles and getting potential combos.
N-Air: Shantae does a spin-kick that covers her left and right.
Forward-Air: Shantae hair whips much like her jab. A specific, but pretty damaging hitbox like Mewtwo's.
Back-Air: Shantae unleashes a kick towards her back. A great kill option.
Up-Air:: Shantae whips her hair upward in an arc, a bit like Diddy Kong's Up-Air, only there shall be no hoo-hahs here.
Down-Air: Shantae does a stylish flip before kicking downwards. Hard. Your usual meteor option.
Side-Smash: Shantae whips her hair extremely hard in a forward arc.
Up-Smash: Shantae does a double-kick, can kill
Down-Smash: Shantae pretty much breakdances like Mario, Luigi, etc, only with alternating hands because she's cool like that.
Grab: Shantae whips her hair towards her opponent like she's going to attack, but instead drags them in. Only a bit slower than her jab, but a whiffed grab can be punished.
Pummel: Shantae knees the grabbed foe rapidly.
Side-Throw: Shantae holds the foe, then lets go and unleashes a kick.
Down-Throw: Shantae slams into the opponent.
Up-Throw: Shantae throws the opponent up, then whips upward with her hair.
Back-Throw: Shantae tosses the foe behind her and then whips him/her with her hair.
Special Moves
B: Shantae unleashes her fire move. Can be charged into her different fire-based moves.
Custom B 1: Shantae summons her thunder cloud, which later zaps. Can be charged for more power and range.
Custom-B 2: Shantae summons a pike that surrounds her for a brief time, can be charged for two pikes. Good for stopping approaches or getting a combo in.
Side-B: Shantae briefly transforms into a monkey and charges straight forward, can now wall-cling if she hits a wall, and can either change back or charge again.
Custom Side-B 1: Shantae dashes forward with her blade. More damage than the monkey, and in air she will go in a downward angle. Will not wall cling.
Custom Side-B 2: ???
Up-B: Shantae transforms into a harpy and flies. Can do a simple attack during her transformation, but if she gets hit during her flight, her number of flaps will be reduced if she's still in the air.
Custom Up-B 1: Shantae shoots upward and glides down in a huge pirate hat. Will do damage during the rising like G&W's parachute.
Custom Up-B 2: ???
Down-B: Shantae transforms into an elephant. In air she will go down at an alarming rate like the Bowser Bomb. On ground she will charge forward.
Custom Down-B 1: ???
Custom Down-B 2: ???

Makes me wonder that the reason he's doing all of this, is because this will be his last hurrah for the series. Like him being apart of it, not it discontinuing.
I find this funny too since he stated in his official twitter fighters take a lot of time to make, so don't expect many of them...

I guess he is u-turning on his statements again? lol

Right behind you.
jesus Sakurai stop my hype train can't go any faster

I do appreciate that he gave an official statement, but I like many others do have concern for his health. Though I suppose it's possible that now that he's not rushed, it's easier for him to work.

Sakurai is caught in a most unfavorable situation for himself. Don't get me wrong, the more dlc the better, but this all stems from his work with Kirby. Sakurai gave up Kirby because he didn't want to keep making sequels for the same game. He wanted to make new games, but had to give up his creation to do so. Now, he's been making 2 smash games past what he wanted, but refuses to quit because he doesn't want to have to give up another of his creations. He either gets to make new games, or still have a say about his old ones. Pretty sad stuff :(

To offset the sadness, the Shantae hype is getting stronger and Sakurai talking about tons of dlc boosts chances exponentially. Keep the hype train rolling folks! Shantae will be on there soon!

Assuming Sakurai ain't gonna do yet another u-turn, I'm willing to bet that they'll be picking from the top 5, 10, 20, or even 50 once the ones they can't work in are weeded out (Fazbear, Shrek, etc.)

Either way, I feel Shantae's chances are only getting better. The hype train never ends, and the Shantae car will keep on rocking.

I kinda doubt we would get another U-Turn. We already had the first one from the switch to that from the twitter post... otherwise it would be.. u-turnception? lol

but yep. Shantae's chances are dancing up the boards

That's just on-screen. Shantae's likely pimp enough to get a topless car and a few *****es offscreen if she wanted to. :p

But I was referring to a train car, in all honesty...
Oh... a Big One?

So I just downloaded Mario Kart DS (not 7) from the e-Shop. It is and always will be my favorite in the series for a number of reasons, particularly the Emblem Editor feature, which lets you draw your own logo/symbol that actually adorns your Kart.

Most of you probably wonder where I'm going with this. First thing posted on Miiverse/1,000 hours on basically Microsoft Paint later:
