Johnny vs. The Shantae Series

In today's episode, I look at an original IP from Wayforward Technologies, Shantae! I'm covering the cult-classic Game Boy Color title, Risky's Revenge, and finally Pirate's Curse.
Half-genie, half-human Shantae makes it her job to defend Scuttle Town from bad news. Said bad news usually comes from Risky Boots, a ruthless pirate. Armed with belly-dancing power, is Shantae a series worth investing in?

    Stelilathehippogriff The Slicers are the most infamous enemies in the Sonic the Hedgehog Series. They are robotic mantises that attack by launching their blades at you. Their appearance in Sonic 2 is mainly what earned them their infamy as they were common throughout Metropolis Zone and cheaply placed. Their attacks are also very difficult to avoid, which adds to their infamy. Granted their later incarnates aren’t as annoying, but everyone seems to detest them. Johnny especially hates them and I honestly don’t blame him.

    Apparently (as I found out myself then googled up) the *Shantae GBC* game has a bug in that it can outright _crash_ (to a blue screen) when collecting a Warp Squid. Yeah, that also deletes your save file. But hey, I'm not as frustrated with losing my save as I made a 'Restore Point' when I was in Oasis town, before I was in the labyrinth for an hour and corrupted my save file. ... ...Thank god for that Restore Point...

    It has such a small chance to happen though, there's practically no information on that Warp Squid bug. I only found one review (I think on GameFAQs) that mentioned it. That I could find atleast. And that was a review for the original cart if I'm not incorrect, meaning everyone that played this had to deal with this. Aware or not.

    ***** One of her victory poses should be based on when she defeats a boss and spins around in the air, her normal attacks could take a lot of inspiration from the physical attacks from the first game, her specials could be a combination of her transformations and pirate gear, her crouch and crawl animations could be exactly like the ones in the games, her taunts could be some dance poses from the first game... Oh the possibilities are nearly infinite! #VoteForShantae #ShantaeForSmash

    WayForward is the example of a company that knows what it's doing as a company that pushes its own IPs from scratch - particularily with Pirate's Curse and their games get better over time because they garner more attention/support and mechanically improve.

    Hmmm, I remember last year SomecallmeJohnny that you were loving Risky's Revenge and you were pretty pumped for Pirate's Curse. I guess after sinking your teeth in, you weren't completely in-love with it anymore? xD Just an observation I noticed. But it seems though you still enjoyed the first two games I think haha. Pirate's Curse seems a lot more up my alley with how streamlined it is, despite loving the metroid-vania the first game had (seriously though I had no idea where to go for the first two hours haha); so I'm still overly excited 1/2 Genie Hero is coming along (: But still, great video as usual!

And my mom saw this game that was rated T mind you, and thought the girls on the cover were strippers so we ended up leaving with Kirby: Planet Robobot instead of the game I actually wanted to play.
