WayForward Launches Shantae Kickstarter
Kickstarter seems like a good fit for indie developer WayForward. Though they’ve worked on some big titles like DuckTales Remastered, Contra 4, and Adventure Time, it seems like they always wanted to do more with some of their original ideas. WayForward has created a Kickstarter for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, to develop the game and bring it to every current console (except Wii), next-gen console, and Steam. If you’re into obscure games, you might recognize the game’s name from the critically-acclaimed, but very rare Game Boy Color game. A DSiWare sequel came out a few years ago, with a 3DS eShop sequel also on the way. But this is an all-new, HD game for consoles!
For pledging a mere $15, you can get a digital copy of the game for the console of your choice, though naturally more rewards are offered for higher amounts. It’s a low barrier of entry to try out a series that routinely pleases and features the fantastic 2D art and animation that WayForward is known for. Give it a look and see for yourself!
