Another year, another Udon swimsuit special featuring our favorite half genie Gameboy icon
>>737435272what is this supposed to be? Is there more?
>>737435272Shantae is black?
>>73743527216 years of age by the way, despite damage control to the contrary
>>737435427she's arabian I thought
only interested if there's plenty of riskyand maybe holly
>>737435272i've been seeing her posted for so many years but never touched any of her games lol, which ones are actually worth playing?
>>737435438you keep bringing that up like footfags love saying the word feeti think you are actually fapping when you say that
>>737435348Udon does swimsuit pinup books for Capcom and started doing one for Shantae in 2024, this is the 2026 one. Usually about 20 pages of pinups and then a short comic story at the end.
>>737435545Pirate's Curse, Seven Sirens, Advance are considered the top 3.The 1st one is fine, just difficult and has small screen space. Risky's Revenge, the sequel, plays better than 1 but is much shorter. Half Genie Hero isn't a Metroidvania but has a lot of content because of kickstarter stretch goals.
>>737435272Hope they add what Shantae fans want the most
>>737435272i love my wife shantae!
>>737435736Not even that anon, but what's the game with the different outfits I see posted around here?I'm also always confused about what games are supposed to be good.
>>737435927Shantae's Talent Show photoshoot.
>>737435545all of em
I don't see the actual preorder page even though Udon's twitter says it's up. Their link just goes to the overall Shantae page.
Bless Udon for this. Hope we get lost of Risky.
Rotty cover is nice
>>737435272I wish anime brown women existed
>>737436292Same here.
>>737436505Fuck, now I want it.
I miss when the Capcom Swimsuit specials weren't limited to Street Fighter. Oh well.
>>737436010Half Genie Hero and Shantae Advance are the ones with multiple costumes. Advance was the most recent so probably that one
>>737436604Zombies don't poop.
>>737435431>doesn't recognize Life is Pi's artstyle on sightWhat a sad thing to miss out on anon...
>>737436673Thank you, I will try to remember.
God shantae is so fucking hot.
They should just bite the bullet and make a Shantae ongoing. Or at least a mini.
>>737436963They'll make one so long as these keep selling well. I'm guessing the first step to that will be a oneshot, and if that does well then they might greenlight a mini.The problem is that the creators are fully entrenched in making the next game right now so they don't really have time to write and oversee a comic.
>>737435927Nudist beach special
>>737435431and your 8 years old tier post is no better lil jimmy. bet you would love to get hugged by big sis shantae right?
>>737437064I suppose I have to commend the Bozon's commitment to keeping control. Its why the series has lasted so long.
>>737435427She is Perisan-Armenian
>>737435272>AIslop Shantae
>>737435438She always been 16, Zoomer can't handle it kek
>>737435272
>>737435545Pirate Curse is the peak of the series, the newer ones are good but not like that one
>>737435272>Udonremember, Morrigan Aensland is a villainess despite all canon to the contrary because 'that's just how succubi are'
>>737437276Most of Udon is really cool, it's just the person in charge of the Darkstalkers comic sucks at writing those characters.
>>737437276Well, now she's a feral ghoul.At least their Mega Man stuff is good so far.
>>737437442>Well, now she's a feral ghoul.qrd? feral morrigan sex status?
>>737435438She’s also a cartoon character you dork
>>737435927Lots and lots of belly dancing
>>737435272SLUT >>737435640WHORE>>737436505SKANK
>>737437514Morrigan and Lilith permanently separated, because Morrigan felt she wasn't fit to be queen. She gave Lilith all her power and, apparently, her intelligence. Or something. So now Lilith is a loving, benevolent queen, and Morrigan is a feral ghoul.
Cover options are kinda lame this year, all solo, no Risky, Rotty is relegated to a store exclusive 2-cover deal, but when there's a 120% horny Life of Pi cover available there's really no other option so eh.
>>737435272I have big muscular legs and seeing women with thick legs is a powerful turnoff because she reminds me of my own body. Thick thighs only save lives in the sense that they're an really warning sign of obesity. Thin bed-tossable girls are best.
>>737437712Hope the last cover is Shantae farting
>>737438120Those are all the covers, genius.
>>737438158If he learns to draw he can make the sketch cover whatever he wants
>>737438120Nice ...
>>737437712Yeah a tad disappointing there's no Risky representation, but maybe purple girls don't sell? Either way I hope one of these is a Nega Shantae convention variant
>>737436292>>737436567It can't be preordered outside the US thus far so if your currency on the Udon website is set to something other than USD, the page doesn't show up at all.
call me when this series is finally able to produce one (1) genuinely great game. No, Pirate's Curse is a 7/10 at best
>>737435272I love Shantae!
>>737437712where the fuck is the risky?
>>737439537POV: You're Bolo's little brother.
>>737439587In the pages
>>737439752i would at least hope so, because i'm not a fan of shantae herself
Why are UDON comic uploads so hard to find?Can barely find anything that I want from them
>>737440134A lot of them are available to buy digitally. Or at least the new Mega Man comics are.
>>737440134Udon is in that weird spot of having enough fans to keep production up and to employ artists but also not large enough to have people actively scanning them.
>>737435272Shantae: Extreme volleyball -game when?
Shantae BMXXX when?
Shantae deserves at least 1 good game. Still waiting for it.
>>737440536>not having her drink itwhat a waste.
>>737440983I got The Seven Sirens on sale and it’s been enjoyable. As long as you’re not expecting Symphony of the Night it’s a decent metroidvania.
>>737435438I love how the cope was that 1 intern said she was 16, until someone dug up an old tweet of Matt himself stating so.
What is with the scat posting?
>>737440983You'll get it when they finally decide to make a rhythm game.
>>737435272How lewd are these covers going to get before they just start becoming officially licensed Shantae porn?
>>737441492It's his method of trying to shut down threads he doesn't like, thinking it'll attract hotpockets to the thread to delete it. Probably one of those porn bad puriteens that infest every corner of the internet.
>>737437712Can someone post the full-size of the second from the top-left?
>>737435272Does Matt Bozon and his wife own the Shantae IP or just the characters because he should leave WF and let another studio work on them and maybe well get bone with actual good/interesting gameplay instead of C tier platformer with the depth and gameplay of a licensed kids game.
>>737441828I needed a refill
This has never gone on sale yet. Wayforward really wants people to pirate the game.
>>737439537POV: you put on cock of your futa wife
>>737442024On sale (eshop)
>>737441947They're all here.https://store.udonentertainment.com/collections/shantae
>>737441836>>737436673Remember Shantae fans shill for Mighty no. 9
>>737441984>Does Matt Bozon and his wife own the Shantae IPThey do, yes.
>>737442159That's not Mighty No 9 you fucking moron
>>737441984thats so rare to have a popular character not be owned by a big studio hopefully they never sell
>>737440983Bro your Pirate Curse? Is even on sale right now
purple pubes
>>737441947This one?
>>737442438 its also rare for a popular series to have no good games
>>737443070But enough about Call of Duty.
>>737443038The one to the right of it.
>>737443070>Shantae>Popular
Why doesn't Bozon just take Shantae and find a different developer to make games for her?
>>737443225Dumb take and you know it.
>>737443817Here you go
>>737443910The obvious choice would be Inti Creates but they're just Japanese WayForward.
>>737444021Cute and sexy! Thanks for the full res.
>>737444063I mean shit, I've enjoyed BMZ and Bloodstained. They might be more qualified to make the type of games Shantae tends to have honestly.
>>737443910I think they are pretty happy with their current scope
>>737435438That's legal in the majority of the world.
Shantae was MADE for breeding.BUILT one might even say.
>>737444021Thanks brother.
>>737443910Matt Bozon has been a key employee at Wayforward for practically its entire history, basically the most important person besides the CEO. He carries a large amount of influence there, why would he want to leave that?
>>737435431You have brain AIDShttps://store.udonentertainment.com/products/2025-shantae-swimsuit-special-1-cvr-a-nami-sakurajyousui
>>737444212Because Wayforward kinda sucks at making games. I'm not sure WHO is to blame for that, but I doubt it's him. Maybe they'd be better off if the CEO handed the reins over to him.
by the by what happened to the shantae general on /aco/?
>>737444320You can blame James Montagna. He was recently promoted to director and has been in charge of most of their recent duds.
>>737435431With this post Jeet posting is officially out of style--- and I hate diversity hires.Not all art is AI and liking attractive fictional females isn't porn.
>>737444151The Shantae DLC for BMZ1 was cool because you could actually skip some bosses(and technically areas) because of her powers. You also had to change how you handled enemies because you were using melee attacks instead of a gun.
Someone leak LifeIsPi's NSFW Shantae art already
>>737445058He doesn't draw Shantae farting or taking a shit. Why bother?
>>737443038Not as detailed as the others perhaps but I think this is the lewdest one, also the best since it resembles official art
>>737445905It is from one of the artists of the games.
man, I wish I had a brown skinned dancer harem girl wife
>>737438120>>737445260kill your fucking self
>>737446295She looks drunk.
>>737435272just give me the download link
>>737446427There isn't and won't be one. The swimsuit specials aren't available digitally and nobody ever bothers to scan these. What you'll get is most of the pinups get posted by the artist that drew them, but you'll have to track those artists down yourself after the special is released.
>>737435272cute art
>>737446427just buy them, shan-shan deserves it.
>>737446542Actually, the last one did get scanned eventually.https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Shantae-Swimsuit-Special/Full?id=239007#1
>>737446408She's just sleepy.
I wish Shantae had a good figure, I'd even take a pop up parade. No, I won't buy a garage kit for $60, that's ridiculous.
>>737446707That's the first one actually, but yeah I stand corrected on that. Still though, scans won't be for a while since the 2nd one still hasn't been scanned.
>>737442401I know, just saying Shantae fans are picky.
>>737446542You fucking moron, what kind of world do you think we live in? The last one got pirated, this one will too. If it's not available yet just fucking say so and I'll wait.I'm actually a patient person.
>>737446824The 2nd one isn't out until July.
>>737446707if they are releasing shit like this why are they not just making an 18+ porn game with the character.
>>737446861If you know it's not going to be available, why are you asking for a download link years before one will be available and won't be shared here?Fucking retard.
>>737435272If only all vidya creators loved their characters as much as Matt Bozon loves Shantae.
>>737446902This is the third swimsuit special. First one was 2024 and second 2025.
>>737446821How do you feel about Nendoroids?
>>737446902The one in this thread is the 3rd one, there's a 2024 one, a 2025 one (pictured here), and now a 2026 one.
>>737446953Really? Huh. Completely missed the second one.Did it have a little short story in it?
>>737446931Get some reading comprehension. I didn't say I knew it wasn't available yet, I was asking for a link if it was.God you are a dense motherfucker.
>>737446962They're okay and a Shantae one works for something like her Half Genie Hero design, but I'd much rather have scales with regular proportions.
>>737447032Yeah, in color as well. This is a preview image they released of it.
>>737446931>and won't be shared here?Despite the fact that the previous one just had it's link shared here? I'm agreeing with Anon, you're a fucking dumbass.
>>737447056It's not even July yet why would it be out now?
>>737447098Aw man, this looks hilarious.
>>737447118Where's the 2nd one then?
>>737447167have funhttps://litter.catbox.moe/x304s2.mp4
>>737445058Did he actually do nsfw shantae art or is it just a bunch of edits?
>>737448514does it matter?
>>737448383>mp4Yeah man for sure.
>>737446413Sky mogs hard.
Wake me up when they make a 3D platformer with real non 8bit graphics
>>737448514They're locked behind the highest tier of his patreon
How long until she gets a swimsuit collection?
Thanks for the heads up, OP.I love my wife.
>>737435272Uh but i thought western games didn't have hot women?
>>737452507well you see, shantae is a gift from god and the perfect wife.
>>737435272Fuck you! I was hoping for a game announcement did Seven Sirens kill the series?
>>737452731you know that there is a game after SS?
>1/2 genie>0/6 good games
>>737452787it's an old game boy advance title they dusted off and ruined the artwork of.
>>737452943Shut the fuck up Vinci nobody cares
>>737452731They literally announced 7 a few months ago
>>737452731Does a dead series still get merchandise?Shantae 7 is currently in development.
>>737453262and we've yet to see anything of it
>>737453347Okay and? You were asking if the series was dead.
>>737453281>Does a dead series still get merchandise?Helltaker and Valhalla tell me yes
>>737453281Have you ever heard of Darkstalkers?
>>737453453Helltaker doesn't count since the entire MO of that game was to generate merch and porn.
>>737435272oooh this perked my tiny white cocklet right tf up
>>737453347Videogames take time to make, anon.We probably won't see anything until 2027.
>>737453791Same.
>>737437712Why are all of the faggots gossiping in this thread instead of posting HQ versions of these beauties?
>>737440983Go play Pirate's Curse for the first time then, faggot. Been waiting around for over a decade with your thumb up your ass for nothing.
>>737453939>Shantae’s design and gameplay peaked in Pirate’s CurseWhy can’t they top it?
>>737435272Holy SEX
>>737456947I fucking love '09 Shantae
>>737435438So legal then
>>737456947You know for a long time I thought she was a Capcom character because they published the GBC game.I remember when MvC was making a comeback and dumb teenager me thought Capcom should put Shantae in as a fighter.
