    May be it's stay the same with more ost, bgm or some more about graphics. Sometimes money didn't help when it's come to creative work. And pls stop compare 2d side scrolling games to Mighty no. 9. i want to forget it but i can't. Disappoint quite strong in that one cause high hope and hated for crapcom.

    If it had the same budget as Mighty No9 it would've gotten full voice acting, more playable characters, animated cut scenes, new transformations, and bonus chapters. But the basic gameplay/graphics would've stayed the same.

    We're still getting more characters and stages too, they're just coming at a later date as DLC (for bolo, rotty and Skye anyway, I think Risky might be a free update) as well as a couple new chapters I think.

    RFTL I feel it more like castlevania than mageman game. And i already clear the game now. So, my thought on this Shantae is if it get the same budget Mighty No.9, it will be better than it be right now since i clear the game i feel lack in many thing. Example: Map feel like it too small. Reused the map is okay but areas to explore didn' feel satisfy, Boss fight is somehow didn't feel good.I think maybe it lack of various move, i don't know but i feel boss fight in this Shantae is too simple. Transform is fun i think it should focus on more ability usage in more situation and some forms like bat just made some obstacles in some stage become pointless too fast. If they have more budget. I want them to create more stage and mini map too cause i oftenly trend to forgot when i re-explored. And a little more complex of boss fight. More than this i count it as bonus.

    Labrador420 Really leaves me wondering what went wrong. I mean the game Mighty No. 9 got more stuff right then it did wrong for sure, but not a lot more, and the communication issues between the backers and comcept go on for miles. I'm kinda hoping wayforward gets their hands on the rights to Mighty No. 9 someday, just so that they continue the series.

    E1ite Yoshi I already explained why is not a 9 for me, you can break the game. At the end you get an item that gives you unlimited magic and consider at that time you have the dance that heal you with the cost of some magic. That means durring the endgame you can be the worst player ever but with unlimited magic and beeing able to heal yourself without any cost you cannot die

    Gotta say, I think Pirate's Curse was the more solid title. Half Genie Hero feels more like the mosaic of underutilized features that the core gameplay mechanics and level design wasn't designed to take into account. That's likely a symptom of it's inception as a Kickstarter game with variable tacked on "stretch goals" and user-submissions. A lot of the game feels really "tacked on" - and many of the levels don't feel complete, or have far less hidden areas and unlockables than other levels. Mermaid Falls seems to be the most fleshed out, with areas like Hypnobaron's Castle and Cape Crustation feeling like they lack content by comparison. Definitely a great game, and well worth the purchase - but I think Shantae (and most games in general) fare better under traditional publishing models where there is a set budget and time-limit to development to help focus the design.

I might buy it again in the future. the 3DS has a tonne of RPG games which i enjoy so i just use that as my handheld gaming device.

    there's about 6 of them on wii u. new super Mario bros u, yoshi's wooly world, shovel knight (w/ the amiibo is co-op), donkey Kong tropical freeze, Mario 3d world, ray man legends even Mario maker is pretty good for turn taking. and trying to solve puzzles together. plus I'm gonna add Nintendoland even tho it's not a platformer just because it's often over looked, and it's the best multilayer for up to 5 players on the system. also I recommend terraria regardless of platform as it has 4 player splitscreen (altho you will need to zoom in by pausing and triggers). but it is a great time. oh and on ps4 brothers tale of two sons is great. and the top down tomb raider games (temple of osiris and the other one) it's like diablo, but a twin stick shooter with tonnes of great puzzles.

    It's normally a contracting issue. If you want a multi-platform game, you must give it the same specifications across all platforms. Since current-gen consoles don't go above 60FPS, it's dragging the PC port down. Though I wouldn't say it's a huge issue. 60FPS is good enough and I've seen games in the past have modders remove FPS caps.
