Man, what is it with tonight and DSiWare news? First the Cave Story DSiWare announcement, and now we hear that long awaited Shantae reboot is finally about to see the light of day. We first heard about this game over a year ago, so it’s a relief to know that it’s almost here. This news come via the lovely Tony Ponce, who received the image above from the official Shantae email newsletter. That means it must be legit, right fellas?
Pokemon Black/White may not work in my DSi, but with games like this, who needs Pokemon? Shantae on the GBC was one of the most beautifully animated, well crafted games to ever hit the console, and I’m sure this updated sequel will be no different.
Like the sign says, Shantae: Risky’s Revenge will be released on October 4th, 2010.

"The beach, the trees, even the clouds in the sky... everything is build from little tiny pieces of stuff. Just like in a Gameboy game... a nice tight little world... and all its inhabitants... made out of little building blocks... Why can't these little pixels be the building blocks for love..? For loss... for understanding"- James Kochalka, Reinventing Everything part 1
