Shantae, the Half Genie Protector of Scuttle Town! (A Switch To A New WayForward)

[Kirbeh]

Cant these people get it through their thick skulls that Nintendo Clearly and specifically stated that the Crown only applies to Toadette and no one else. Thus making "Bowsette" impossible.

Can't these people have fun drawing "what if" fanart? They know it's not an actual thing, it was just a fun idea people latched onto. Right now it just got started so of course it's everywhere. If it bothers you that much, just give it a week and it'll be mostly gone.

Don't you know? You aren't allowed to have *fun* on the internet. You either have to be enraged and insulted at something or mad that someone else is the target audience of something positive and you aren't.

Sir, I am enraged and offended by your remark. I demand an apology right now.

So this all a jab at me then.

Very ruddy funny. Your humour is unparalleled.

Its fanart. People aren't expecting people to make it offical. If it did happen that would be the first time for something like this.

Plus people like gender bending stuff, and strong badass females.

Also, Bowser himself already acts so much like a stern mother haha

Forget the magic macguffin, when's Squidsmith Mode? Her design is too good to just be a minor role in one title.

Its a shame she only appeared in this one game. would have loved to see her design in Half genie hero... or maybe she would have been too sexy

While surfing the sea of super crowns I stumbled onto a James tweet that talks about bikkle but the first part is very interesting it isn't much but I just want to see what you guys think (only the first part)

Take a look

That reminds me, I’ve talked before that I was playing around with the idea of a Shantae animated series and most of my progress involved adapting aspects and scenes of the game into an animated format, thought I have no current idea how I’d incorporate the Squidsmith since her purpose relates to a game mechanic

Dylly, I've only been back on Smashboards for like a week, and I don't know you very well, so maybe I'm not the best person to speak up and I haven't because I felt I shouldn't, but if anything I'll say this.

In the little time that I've been back; from what I've seen everyone in this thread enjoys your company. From the little interaction we've had and the posts you've made, I do too. Yeah I don't know you that well, but I don't want to see you beat yourself up like this all the time. I want you to stay, I want to get to know you better and everyone else here has and will continue to tell you the same that they've been saying: We like you and want you here.

I may not know the full details, but I know you've been through recently and I hope nothing but the best for you. And since I'm out of the loop, I won't pretend like I understand what's going on, but believe me. Whatever the case is we're all here for you. If you need to take a break, take your time. If you need to talk to somebody PM one of us.

I don't know how much help I can be, and a lot of the time I'm wrapped up with work, but if you ever need someone to lend you an ear feel free to send a PM my way.

that first part is pretty suspicious.... very suspicous...

Damn it Wayforward employee's, stop giving us these coincidences!

Deep breaths. No one dislikes you. You're among friends. And what do friends do sometimes? Rib each other a bit. It's all good natured. You don't have to worry

looks like we got another conspiracy!

but i did
and all it did was make everything worse

Then stay and talk it out with us. We're here for you.

Boy did I missed a lot since I was gone. Good lord, many things happen. I'm glad that everyone's spirits are up instead of down.

All aboard the conspiracy train y’all!

I'm pretty sure nearly dying of cancer hardly qualifies as "taking a break"...

Things just keep getting more interesting by the day, huh? At this point I'm pretty confident that Shantae will appear in Smash Ultimate in some form. The only question is *what* kind of appearance...

 

[kazoka122]

Does anyone have the interview from famitsu about Sakurai talking about how Isabelle is different and what she brings to smash? Apparently there's a part in that article where he states that he likes isabelle for her movement and animations and "the more movement, the better" *tinfoil hat on*

Source Gaming has a translation on their Twitter here:

I would provide a link to the article itself that's on Source Gaming's website but it's currently down.

Heres the article

[GoldLiger]

So more hints huh? How many more hints will we get?

 

[DoctorFate]

So, similar to Isabelle being talked about in this interview, if/when Shantae is revealed, what do you think Sakurai would say about her? How do you think he would introduce her? Would he lean hard into the Indies thing or just introduce her like any other character that's been brought into Smash so far?

Would you like to look at the shantae spread sheet?

It's good to be certain of some things sometimes, but you always should allow any possibilities to occur, however unlikely you think they may be.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Just remember everyone, that if Shantae is an assist trophy, it's ok to be bummed about it (still pining for Krystal [not in that way]) but remember that it's still a magnificent achievement for what started out as one of the rarest GBC games and was revived as DSiWare made out of leftovers from the cancelled GBA game. She's come so far. (tear in eye)

Besides, if Waluigi can have a promotion campaign behind him...

Mention that she's the first playable indie in the history of Smash but not dwell on it. Don't forget he'll also have to cover other Shantae-related stuff possibly in the game like a stage.

In a future interview he'd probably talk about Wayforward's role in making this happen.

Or write about it in his column

Honestly, that's nothing compared to how the guy who started the Bowsette trend feels. The reception he got went beyond "flattering" and got all the way up to "creepy".

https://soranews24.com/2018/09/27/b...-own-dedicated-fan-event-next-month-in-japan/

Also, please don't die, I don't want to see you leave this world with thoughts of boxes, Incineroar, Ken and Steve.

 

[Luigifan18]

Heck no! You just sounded overly flippant about it, as though you took a leave of absence due to being someplace, um, other than a hospital.

Bowsette is getting a fan event... wow that is something. Pretty cool honesty

 

[Makai Wars]

You guys are talking about Bowsette and Bolo but I actually DID draw a genderbent Bolo a few days before the Bowsette thing blew up.

Spoiler

 

[GoldLiger]

So the Bowsette situation has gotten to the point that a cosplay event is happening in Japan in a month's time. Jeez I wonder how it will all end? I think it is in Nintendo's best interest to support the "Super Crown fandom" they created by accident thanks to trying to find a method of making Peach playable in NSMBU Deluxe.

I don't think he dislikes it, he is just freaking out that it got so big. He is still doing art of the character.

There was a problem fetching the tweet
