https://x.com/KONAMI_GS/status/2046737502556598703?s=20The new Shantae game is being shown tomorrow, are you excited?
Only if its 3D. don't stay 2D forever, like Yoshi games.
Shantae games are mediocre. This won't be any different.
Only if its 2D. Otherwise, if they go 3D it'll be guaranteed shit.
>>737719819Made by Konami?
>>737720035Probably just published by them
>>737719819I'm curious about it, but not really excited. Most of the series isn't all that great.
>>737720145WayForward usually self-publishes when it comes to Shantae. Either they're broke as fuck or the games must be a pretty big deal to warrant the extra investment.
>>737721417Well, they don't publish it themselves in Japan, they go through another company to localize it
>>737719819No, they're all mid. Without the fuckable cast this series would have died long ago
Wtf has this got to do with komani?Yes I'm hyped. It's Shantae!
>>737719819No Steam?
>>737719819This series only has mediocre games, so hopefully they make something good this time
>>737719819This is just the GBC game which was recently released and localized in Japan last month. Shantae 7 won’t be officially shown off until either LRG3 or Anime Expo.
Only if they made Sky playable
>>737724916She actually really needs it to develop a solid identity for the series. Right now she's sort of drifting around different personalities and roles, while the other mainstays have found their niches.
>>737722218I thought they were pretty good for relatively low budget games
Both River City Girls 2 and Yars Rising had too many loading screens despite being simple games, I'm even less confident in WayForward nowadays
>>737725941I think she's like the voice of reason? Or a little more mature than the rest of the cast. But yeah not sure how does translate to a game lol
>>737719971>>737722114>>737722218>mediocre>midwhy you people insist on always using these 2 when talking about Shantae? the games range within "ok" and "good". You are afraid to say that they are ok, but you don't call them bad either
>>737719819It's not the new Shantae, it's the GBC game for Switch and PS5. Konami is the publisher of the game in Japan. You can see it here:https://x.com/KONAMI_GS/status/2047510855215100194
>>737727641Shantae gbc is already on switch 1 in every region and its on ps5 via ps4 iirc
>yet another generic 2D platformer that gets circlejerked around because it has softcore porn character designs
>>737719819I wish it was a 3d platformer with extensive Shantae customization but WF doesn't have money for that.
>>737719819Yes I am excited, I can't wait to see Shantae's new game!
>>737727549Okay = mediocre
>>737727549That's what "mid" or "mediocre" means, dumdum
>>737729921>>737729946The word mediocre has a negative connotation, meaning you use that word to describe something that leans more to the "being bad" side. The Shantae games are not bad
>>737719819I'm probably going to get laid off tomorrow so...no
I've only played the first one so I won't care until I've caught up
>>737730925Yes, and so is okay. Why would I play a game that's just okay when there's so many out there?
>>737731031Gongrats on your promotion, anon!
Leaker here. It's a 3D collect-a-thon Shantae game.
