Shantae Series

and even then I still wasn't racist.

why am I not surprised? :PUN:because I'm not a fucking racist
 
You've got to admit that it's very easy to mistake what you were saying then and now as racism, especially when you're being very unclear. Hey, as long as nobody thinks Shantae should be white then there's nothing more to say.
The weird thing is that this is the second time Den and Sano have had this conversation.
I'm sorry but you are not one of the people allowed to call me that.
You will refer to me as Sgt. Zen.

Whatever you say Pvt. Den.
 
as long as nobody insinuates I'm racist, I am okay. I take it as an extreme personal offense regardless of the situation. gets me very salty.

anywho, I really am still hoping we can somehow reach voice actors for the kickstarter. if it's still going anyway.
 
Whatever you say Pvt. Den.
See you think that's funny nigga but I'm gonna choke you out if I see you on the streets.

Oh my gosh, arrested? I had no idea that police might come after me if I were to assault a person! Everything I was saying about choking out Zeriam was completely serious and devoid of any knowledge that there might be legal consequences for my actions! Thank you Kamen Rider Sano for educating me and stopping me from doing something I might regret! You are so not a nerd!
Holy shit man you really know how to kill a joke, you are so dull it's not even funny.

So are there any chances for Half-Genie Hero coming to Steam or other consoles?
I'm sure as Hell not buying a Wii-U.
 
yeah. half genie-hero is gonna be on pretty much everything.

more specifically: PC, PSN, Vita, Wii U, XBLA
that was a joke? I neeeeeeeeeeeeever woulda guessed.

Ergh! Watching that vid reminded me that now Twitch has deleted most of Wayforward's archives from the Kickstarter last year. That included their playthrough of the Pirate's Curse Beta, their developer commentaries on Shantae 1, and the bits they showed off from the scrapped GBA Shantae. There was a lot of juicy information in there that was worth a rewatch.

Darn, I hope they do more dev streams at some point.
 
Did Risky push Shantae in a bathtub across town?

The game looks a lot faster paced this time around, which is good 'cause that was my main problem with the original. I'm glad to hear that this game is going to be much longer, Risky's Revenge was great but I wanted more content. Here's hoping that there's still a reason for Shantae to dance even without genie powers, that's like her whole shtick.

On an unrelated note, I have to admit that I'm slightly hypocritical about my views of the race and outfit color thing. It is in my powerful and unquestionable opinion that tanned skin and bleached hair is the best combination possible and it is something that I would like to do in the future.

I'm almost afraid to play this because I'm afraid it's going to have a downer ending like Risky's Revenge did.
I want Shantae to get her Genie powers back, damnit!
 
Pirate's Curse is out.

In North America.

Not tomorrow please, tomorrow is Taco-Friday! You can have Monday, Monday is shit anyways.
 
Motherfucker I want some tacos.
 
Probably won't be able to play the game since I'm PC-only, but I'm curious whether the tunes played here and here were made specifically for the trailers or are they part of the actual in-game soundtrack of Pirate's Curse. If it's the latter, I'm pretty hype for said soundtrack.
 
The soundtrack is up on virt's site. Its pretty great.

Between this and Shovel Knight, I hope one day Lab Zero would ask him to make a guest track for SG. His sound would totally fit with Robo-Fortune, I think. Or any reason really.

Everything he does is super fun.

I have a PS3 and a PC );

My hope is that, someday, in the future it is released for PC (playing Risky's Revenge right now). Preferably with controller compabilty.

Meanwhile, I am missing this: (Spoilers with no context)

Well now. Bought, thanks!
 
It's 20$ right? That's pretty good if they aren't exaggerating the length of the game.
I'll pick it up at some point, but not now. It would just be another distraction.
