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

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Has the ever been a good video game movie adaptation?

For what it is, Mortal Kombat was entertaining (Armageddon's a dumpster fire tho, so pretend that one doesn't exist).

Same can be said for Rampage, if only for Dwayne Johnson's antics alone. Not too terribly accurate (although that arcade cabinet in one scene is a hoot), but knows not to take itself too seriously and really the series is about monsters blowing up cities and labs anyway, so it wasn't difficult to accomplish.

While not a movie, I heard some pretty good things about the Virtua Fighter anime (despite not having much to work with in terms of adapting story at the time). Shame only the first season ever got translated.

All this talk about video game adaptations really makes me hope that if I manage to get the chance to work on a Shantae Netflix cartoon that I’ll be able to do the series justice and people will be willing to watch it. Granted most of what I have is just adapting the stories of the games in an animated and episodic format, but still.

Hey, your already doing better than 90% of Hollywood movies.

Well, since the Castlevania adaptation worked, I'd say you'll be fine...

I need to get around to finishing that series. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to take any cues from it for a number of reasons, but hopefully I’ll be able to make it just as good.

Phoenix Wright has a pretty good movie.

 

[zferolie]

I thought the Prince of Persia was a good game adaption, and Rampage was a very fun movie

 

[Shadowknight1]

The thing with video game adaptations, particularly live action, is there is a lot of "Your Mileage May Vary" attached to them. Some people liked the Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider movie. I quit watching maybe less than five minutes in because the sheer stupidity was giving me a headache. Some games shouldn't be made live action. Super Mario is a great example of why.

For the record, Shantae would look weird in live action, IMO.

Who would even play some of these characters in a live-action movie?

 

[Mango The Magician]

Just beat WoL...and yeah overall it was ok. I just wouldn't really call it an "adventure" or "story" mode, and what story it had is a let down...especially if you're like me and actually fight Galeem first thinking you gotta fight them one at a time.

 

[MajestyIndigo]

Have I missed any info these days ? Do you guys still believe in Shantae's chances to make it as a DLC fighter ?

Dyllybirdy Ohhh I LOVEthat Dark Magician Shantae !!

 

[Shinuto]

So...is Shovel Knight an icon? Is Yacht Club Games identified in the credits like WF and Matt?

Both yacht and wayforward/BOZON We’re listed as original game supervisors

And wf was listed last

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Welp I found the Shantae sticker, I hated that fight a lot.

Nah, I personally think the dream is dead, but at least I got Joker so my wishlist isn't completely destroyed

It’s not over until Matt/wf says something about her fate

 

[Dukefire]

The Directs will be the ones to keep us in the loop for next year as everyone knows towards the Fighters Pass.

What are the remaining 4 Characters Nintendo has in store for us?

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I think it was mentioned that the DLC characters will be from franchises that aren't already in Smash, which most likely applies to her as well.

Would I like to eat my words? Yeah, I love Shantae but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

 

[Biometal]

It is believed that Rex will be picked because he apparently has no icon, yet Pyra and Mythra do.

where did you hear that? I remember hearing them say all the DLC characters would be characters you wouldn't expect to see in smash.

regigigas said that these characters are new to the series not they will be from new series

So we’re fine. don’t give up now!

Doesn't mean you can't support her even though she's not playable. Maybe someday she can be. And if rumors are true, (highly doubtful) there may be a Wave 2 DLC

What's so hard about it?

Yeah Untill they offically say no to spirits being fighters, we just stay strong.

 

[Deleted member]

So what happens when shantae possesses yoshi?

I heard its going to be from series who arent represented as FIGHTERS. Doesnt rule out shantae, but geno is dead since hes technically mario.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I think I just suck at this, I just had to retry it like 3 times.

I'm hoping

Amaterasu (Okami)
Shantae
Sora
Rayman

If not Rayman, I'm still hoping for Elma from Xenoblade Chronicles X, but if it's only fighters from series that have yet been represented, then that doesn't look good for her.

Hey there! Haven't been in this thread in a while. I beat WoL just last night w Simon, Mario and King K. Rool. I liked it. I had Simon/Shantae and K. Rool/Geno spirit teams. The Regigigas one helps out a lot in stamina battles. I'm not sure if any of you noticed, but do you like how the Risky Boots spirit is right before you fight K. Rool in the Dark Realm?

Love your avatar lol.

And, um, yeah, that Risky thing is pretty cool! The attention to detail in the game is astonishing.

Thanks! I also really loved using the Shantae spirit in some fights.

SO a made a character select screen mock up of what the screen should look like after the 6 upcoming DLC are released.

Just shrunk the character grid to 94% its normal size to fit another column in. in theory, you can fit in another full row with just a tine bit more shrinking, and with the current bottom row being able to fit 3 more, you could fit in 17 more character. I probably wouldn't go any farther then that as then the screen will be too small and hard to navigate. So at most we can have a total of 97 characters in this game.

Doubt we will get even close to that. I am thinking if we get 1 more season, plus 3-5 free or sold seperatly echos, that would be 88-90 roster when they finish.

EDIT: New interview from Sakurai in Famatsu

https://nintendoeverything.com/saku...h-bros-ultimates-development-length-and-more/

He says probably best to not expect the next smash for at least 10 years. makes sense, and we could see a long DLC period for this game like other big fighters out there(like SF5 and Tekken)

 

[Biometal]

Well, I've only seen Little Mac fight her and almost bit the dust, but got saved by KO Punch. Shantae knows how to use ZSS's body. I'll say that much.

Because I’m mature.

I wonder if this lines up with the 30 character ID slots that were datamined.

There's the Ace Attorney movie for sure.

You know, I heard the Professor Layton movie is good. Has anyone seen it?

Does being a spirit still mean the character can still be new to the series tho? Sorry i haven't been paying attention to the whole "spirit deconfirms or doesn't deconfirm" situation for a while because it was tiring…
