Half-Genie Hero coming to Switch this summer. Loved my experience on the Wii U so might dip in for the Switch version again when it arrives.

Been awhile guys. I am glad to see the support for Shantae still being strong as always. I do hope that if a Smash 4 Deluxe edition comes out that Shantae be a newcomer to it. I am going to get Half Genie Hero again. I already own it Digitally and Physically on WII U so I will take another dip with the upcoming Switch version.

Wonder if Switch Neon Color Shantae would be an unlock-able costume?

Well, I'm already a bit crazy, what's the worst that can happen if Shantae gets in? I support.

The Switch version got a release date of June 8th so we'll be able to pick it up and take it on the go in less than a week.

At first I was excited.

Then I gave a look at what the VOLKS dolls look like, and...




...I find them rather... creepy.

Hopefully this alleviates any worries.


Any word from the Crusade team yet? Must be some rigorous testing for the update.

I wonder if there's any chance HGH will get a physical release on the Switch. The hope that it might if I wait long enough is pretty much the only reason I haven't double dipped already.

I think this is worth posting here:

All four games covered.

I think I'll be pre-ordering this when possible.

It seems that Shantae is gaining a lot of prominence since post-ballot. I'm not sure if the two are related, but I don't remember such groundswell around her beforehand.

Even if it's not the full explanation, I do think the ballot has a lot to do with this. I myself first learned of Shantae through the Smash ballot.

It's hard to find any meaningful measure of how much attention the Smash ballot received, but it was a huge announcement for one of Nintendo's most popular titles. Given how widely discussed Shantae was as a ballot contender, it seems probable that her positive trending since then owes a lot to the exposure she received through the ballot.

Besides the Ballot, Shantae got her first home console game (as unless you're Pokemon or Fire Emblem then handheld games don't count) and Wayforward have been upping her cameo game. Such things do help her prominence too.

I am just glad Shantae is getting the exposure she deserves. Her games are always so fun. When is that Pirate Queen DLC going to drop? I so want to play as Ms. Vee's other character voice work.

I don't know if any of you still remember a little fiasco that occurred mid-Smash Ballot regarding Shantae. Cristina Vee's IMDb page had been edited (possibly by a fan) to claim that Shantae had been added to Smash 4, and Cristina had reprised her role as her.

A few days later, Ms. Valenzuela had to take to Twitter to assure everyone that Shantae was NOT confirmed for Smash in any capacity, and Nintendo has NOT called her in to do any voice work for Smash.

That being said, she DID state that she would be beyond excited if Shantae DID get into Smash, and she was called in to do voice work for her in said game, so she reminded everyone to keep voicing their support for her in the Ballot.

I'm super excited that Pirate's Queen Quest will be coming out next week! Shantae Half-Genie Hero is such an amazing game, and having another playable character gets to excite me more! I was actually surprised, yet pleased that Cristina Vee (my favorite voice actress!) has voiced Risky Boots as well, and I'm happy that Half-Genie Hero will be adding more voicework after I got Vee's tweets.

So much support for Shantae! If she's in Smash Bros 5, I won't even care who the other newcomers are. She's that great.

Shantae has my vote.
There is so much to pull from both Half Genie Hero and Pirates Curse.

plus I wanna spam the inevitable Dance Taunts while I'm in the "Danger" of a match.

Hopefully she gets a shot. Honestly really want to see her get in in some form. Just so people can get into the series in general.
