Maybe to hype you up, you should play the games in this order: Shantae > Risky's Revenge > Half Genie Hero > Pirate's Curse.
to run in original Shntae you gotta hold down the b button
But doesn't Matt completely owns the rights to the first game and the whole series?
Yes, but he still doesn't feel like doing a remake. He does what he wants.
I wonder if Matt is alright with Shantae being in Smash.Yes, but he still doesn't feel like doing a remake. He does what he wants.
The Smash Ballot was so much fun! Thank you for cheering Shantae on! And so cool of Nintendo to give players a voice! pic.twitter.com/NJ0Y9elt2U

What was that Matt Bozon Shantae renewal copyright claim back in December of 2015 all about? I ask because that was around the time Ultimate's project plan for the base roster was finalize and I find it to be a strange and funny coincidence there.
That's the first I hear of it, so I'll let someone who's more educated on the subject to elaborate on it.
Can't look. Must avoid spoilers at all cost until I get my copy of the game from Limited Run.
From what i could tell, i saw no story spoilers, and only a few gameplay stuff
But still, I don't want to hear any details about the story. I want to go in completely blind when I first play the game.
European Switch owners: Due to reasons beyond our control, the launch date for Shantae and the Seven Sirens has been moved to June 4. Other platforms/regions, including Switch in North America, should remain unaffected. We apologize for the inconvenience! pic.twitter.com/8Kt45VZqgV

Well that sucks. At least you guys don't have to wait much longer.
I feel like this review kind of misses the point about the game's difficulty in that it is what you make of it. Isn't that the purpose of the Heart Squid system, letting you go for that completion while making boosting yourself with it optional?
I'll mainly think of it in the same way that a speedrunner does: it'll mostly be fluff with the key exception of a handful of cards. And even then, I would say the game's perfectly playable without it, and that the cards is more of an optional objective.
See, that's something interesting with the speed runner aspect of it all. The cards are RNG, but they also give you good abilities that you can equip. Imagine having a run that's flawless, but you don't get the card for a run speed boost and ultimately miss the record. It sounds like a nightmare.
when you put it that way, it definitely sounds like the type of game that would need a player's guide to remotely do well enough for such a purpose.
The spinning turtle transformation looks to be much faster than running anyway. I've seen it reach some staggering speeds that makes me wonder if it has card upgrades of it's own. Would certainly make for a good default dash attack.
Megadoomer
, dunno why it was delayed >.<
It's more a product of it's time, which is something I can appreciate. Though I can see why the Fusion Coins and the Select One Dance things work better than anything else. That being said, I do miss the whole rhythm game aspect of it.
I wonder if Sakurai would bring the rhythm back, he's fond of doing characters with more complex mechanics.
When has a fighting game character explicitly done something like this without a) being invincible (DK's old bongos) or b) stopping time (Skullgirls's Big Band)? Concentrating on rhythm is near impossible otherwise.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. If you're a speedrunner and you happen to not get the right cards that would bring you to the finish line sooner than it's better to just move Forward no pun intended whether than just camping out in a area killing enemies that might happen to have it. Wasting your time on bad RNG isn't worth ruining the run if things don't go according to plan. I speedrun Goemon's Great Adventure so I have a little bit of speedrunning experience myself.
I'll have to check on the ol' PS4 then, that should show if it's available there.
