#GamingNEWS Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch

Shantae is back! 

With a new old game! That's right, a scrapped GBA game, coming to GBA (first), then Switch, then the rest. With a classic pixelated Legacy design and more modern take with shiny art and an updated HUD (outside the GBA release).

This looks so fun! Can't wait!!

#Blog The Complete Shantae Collection

I just received a new batch of Limited Run games. 

I already had most of the Shantae titles (I will probably make a follow-up post about that..). But with the re-release of the first two games on the Switch they also offered this lovely collector's box. Which mean I can finally display them all together! (Sorry limited edition for Half-Genire Hero..)

 They look great together! Makes me want to marathon through the series again!

#GamingNEWS Shantae and the Seven Sirens - Teaser Trailer

I've been certainly more quiet over this ol' blog in these last few months.

These are some crazy times we're livin' in. And some people definitively aren't helping the situation.

Not to go into full details about work, but let's just say all things considered this has been the worst year of my life EASY. And the same goes for my work colleagues...

ANYHOW

We're here to talk g33k stuff, aren't we? And something that was a light of hope amidst a really long and difficult day...

The new trailer and the announcement of the mainstream consoles port of Shantae and the Seven Sirens! Along with the Limited Run physical release pre-order. And here it is:



Thank you, Wayforward, for bringing this into our life!

#OpeningTheme Shantae 5 - Studio TRIGGER Opening Animation

While I've been desperately waiting for some news regarding Shantae 5, WayForward came forward (no pun intended) with this awesome tidbit of news: renowned anime studio Trigger is making the opening intro of the new game (and the cutscenes?). Check out this awesome video, with singing from noneother than Shantae's VA:



And here's the official press release blurb:

 Presenting the Opening Animation for Shantae 5, created by none other than the revered Studio TRIGGER! TRIGGER producer Naoko Tsutsumi (Little Witch Academia) collaborated with Shantae creator Erin Bozon (Futurama) and Matt Bozon (series director) to bring the Shantae characters to life. Vocals for the opening were performed by Cristina Vee (Miraculous Ladybug), featuring an original composition by Mark Sparling and musical arrangement by Maddie Lim.

#GamingNEWS Shantae 5!!

Best announcement of this past month so far - Wayforward's working on Shantae 5!!

Perfectly timed announcement, since I just finished my run through all 4 original games yesterday!

No news on Shantae 5 so far outside the fun clever logo. And the artstyle seems slightly less "chibi" than 1/2 Genie-Hero.

Can't wait!!

The game's coming to most systems INCLUDING Apple's new weird streaming gaming service...

#Design - CustomCoverArt PC Mighty Switch Force

Please! Do not ask for these! This was a personal job, not outsourcing the work to other people. If you want me to work out something for you, I will do so for money only.

Lately I finally got a steam copy for this one - thanks buddy! - and now my Wayforward collection got even better! I love this game!! So naturally I had to make this one a custom cover art as well.

#Design - CustomCoverArt MS&MD Wonder Boy/Monster World series

Please! Do not ask for these! This was a personal job, not outsourcing the work to other people. If you want me to work out something for you, I will do so for money only.

Recently I decided to revamp my entire Wonder Boy/Monster World game collection - the classic series that inspired Wayforward's Shantae series! - to sport the proper original titles (and get rid of the two different Wonder Boy 3 that way) as well as finally give boxes for a couple of my naked cartridges. I love the original artworks over the ugly stuff we got in the west, I even made a few alts for some.

#Design - CustomCoverArt PC Various STEAM releases

Please! Do not ask for these! This was a personal job, not outsourcing the work to other people. If you want me to work out something for you, I will do so for money only.

I got several games on steam over the last two years, so I decided to make some fake game cases for my collection. Mostly my game series and some of my recent favorites.

#Design - PC Alien Breed, Tron RUNr, Risky's Revenge & Mighty No 9 custom cover art

Please! Do not ask for these! This was a personal job, not outsourcing the work to other people. If you want me to work out something for you, I will do so for money only.

Here's another batch of custom covers I made for some of my digital games on steam. Because I like having physical copies in my collection.

 

Since I have yet to receive my copy of the game (hear that, Comcept??), I decided to go ahead and make a custom one for my steam copy. I also included a screenshot of my robot character used in the game back there.

#GamingNEWS Shantae returns

We need a little break from those giant explosive big budget 3D modern games. Let's look at an upcoming 2D title!

Following the success of Wayforward Technologies’ kickstarter recently, a new Shantae game is coming up soon!

Here's a little E3 trailer for the new game:



It looks gorgeous! Look at the art style and that animation! I love Wayforward's 2D games!

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is due out for September 27 on PS4, Xbox One, Wii U and PC!

#E3 NEWS! Day 3 - Eidos, Nintendo, PC and stuff

And here is our last E3-related posted, probably. I don't expect to see any more surprises since now the conferences are all over and it's mostly gameplay from the showfloor coming up.

Nintendo conference was quite crazy, but the rest of the reveals was kinda lackluster if you ask me. There's also some stuff coming from a PC conference, which was really bad. But, hey, new Deus Ex footage!
