I was faffing about and stubled upon this kickstarter by Way Forward to develop a new installment to the Shantae series so I thought I'd spread the word

This kickstarter needs more money. The Shantae games are fantastic, but not too many people know about them. They've beena labor of love by Wayforward and they've been trying everything they can to get us more of it. We managed to get the second game, Risky's Revenge, on DSiWare and if they manage to get the third game out it'd be fantastic. While I'm thinking about it, Risky's Revenge, the second game, was recently greenlit on Steam. I think they still have to port it, though.

Naka, would you consider plugging this in one of your vids, or is that something you'd just rather avoid doing altogether? I'd try to plug it, but I don't get nearly as many views.

Fairly sure I've given up.
Might I actually point out that ½ Genie Hero is actually the FOURTH game?

The third is coming out on 3DS eShop soon, and is titled "Shantae and the Pirate's Curse".

Man, this kickstarter has some bad timing. Then again bad timing seems to be a thing with Shantae, seeing how the first game came out on the GBC when the GBA was the hotest thing (replaying it again I can't believe it's just a GBC game). Risky's revenge was a decent follow up with gorgeous updated graphics, but sadly not as big as the first one (And a bit of a dissapointing endgame), despite being on the DS (Though I assume they had troubles enough releasing it).
I hope the 3DS game does well and that this one gets the support it deserves. Can't get enough of that Half-genie and her amazing hair :3

I really need to get around to playing Shantae one of these days. I've heard nothing but good things about it, and it looks really good, and like it's something I would really enjoy. Hope the Kickstarter reaches its goal.

Naka you know a lets play of Shantae turned out to be very influential when Wayforward was making Risky's Revenge perhaps we can replacate a similar result if a popular Lets Player like yourself talked about it
