Shantae and the Seven Sirens

[turtle1237]

I am a pretty big fan of the series, own physical releases of all the games but the first one since its WAY out of my price lol. Nab the out of print Risky Revenge and Pirates Curse from Limit Run Games when they were releasing them like 3 years ago for the PS4? Than I pick up Pirates Curse for the Switch a few months back lol. Yeah I own 3 copies of Pirates Curse, PS4, Switch and the 3DS. I know its sad.

The trailers for all the games up to 5 right now. I am pretty hype for it, wish there was some game play footage, but so far we got a screen shot of the game. Shantae game wise has never let me down. I enjoy all 4 games. Just beat the first game on my 3DS, and am now working on the 2nd game on the 3DS lol. The plan is to beat all 4 games for the 5th game of course. To refresh myself on the story.

Not sure if I should go Switch or 3DS when I reach the 3rd game though.

[turtle1237]

I must be like the only Shantae fan on the entire forum lol.

Well any way we do get like 13 mins of gameplay, looks like a cross between Pirates Curse and Half Genie Hero. Over all I like it.

Me too.
I have completed all Shantae games, excepted for this first one.
Eagerly waiting for the new game. Though, I am mourning loss of the gorgeous pixel art of the early games.

The first game has a little "Cheat" I use to get plenty of lives. In Dribble Fountain, There are 4 lives, 3 you can reach easy, the 4th one needs the Harpy form. Once you get the monkey form, just collect the 3 lives, exit, save if you want, re enter, and get the 3 lives again. You can leave the place with 30 plus lives if you really want to lol. Once you get Harpy, the 4th life is in the room next to the entrance, So that would be super fast to collect it, get out, and collect it again. Yeah the game is broken if you know how to use it.

[oldmanwinters]

I own the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th games in the series. Loved the Pirate's Curse, but haven't had time to play through the other games all the way through.

[TurtleTitan97]

Can't wait for the release. I still need to beat Half-Genie Hero tho.

[drgon78]

So far I have only played Half-Genie but I can't wait to play The Seven Sirens.

I sold both of my Limited Run Games PS4 Shantae games in a store sale about two weeks ago. They sold for almost a hundred bucks each. You are definitely not alone in your fandom. :)

I've still go two sealed copies left - one of each game. I have to decide if they are worth playing or if I want to sell those in my next video game blowout as well.

I just don't do a lot of gaming anymore.

Well, mime are not seal, I open them and well played them lol. I am sure the value goes down a LOT. I still check on Ebay to see what they go from time to time. No plans in selling my copies though. I MAY consider it if Limit Run decides to put Risky's Revenge out on the Switch though. I do have the 2nd game downloaded on my 3ds from the shop. Risky's Revenge though a lot of fun felt kinda of short compare to the other games. It is still a lot of fun to play Though.

When I found out Limit Run games was putting Pirates Curse on the Switch, I had to nab that to go along with Half Genie Hero. Doing that pretty much means I have 3 physical copies of Pirates Curse, 3DS, Switch and PS4. Also have Half Genie Hero for the Ps4 also, but something about the Switch being on the go and than docking it to a TV has something the PS4 would never have. No offense to the PS4, its a great system, but sometimes you want Skyrim on the go lol.

[Wildcat]

This looks like a something I’d love. I must have come across it in the past but never played any. Now I really want to.

[Cryomancer]

Pirate's Curse is the best one, in my opinion. I've beat all of em, they're all OK to great. Looking forward to this one.

[drgon78]

I really enjoyed Half-Genie Hero except for this one part in the last level I couldn't get past. Man I wish I still had the hand and eye coordination I did as a kid.:lol:

Hopefully there are more then 5 fusion coins and more then 4 dances.

I can't wait to see what monster cards can do.

[drgon78]

There will be 50 monster card slots(w/ 3 equip slots for those).

Monster card example: Crab(increased crawl speed).

Wonder what the cards are for? The only thing I can think of is to transform into the Monsters Shantae fights lol.

[turtle1237]

That's game 2 down. It took game time 7 hours to beat lol. I kinda of forgot were most of the items were. I spend 3 or plus hours looking for the rotten egg, when Sky had it all along lol.

[drgon78]

Well it is about half way through September and no release date announced, looks like this game will not be out till next year.

[drgon78]

Release date has been pushed back to Spring 2020.

[IMJ]

I've got sealed copies left of both of the PS4 Limited Run Games releases intended for our next (and even bigger than the last one) Game and Electronics Sale coming up in January.

They are supposed to be inventory, but the energy in this thread makes me want to tear the cellophane off and play them. I just don't have time for gaming anymore like I used to though....

[Sumac]

Still need to finish DLC stuff in the last Shantae game.

[drgon78]

I wish I knew had they released PS4 versions of the 2nd and 3rd game.:(

Its up to you if you want to open them, but opening them now would really bring the vaule of the games down. Hell Shantae 1 in box goes for a few 1000 lol.

A copy for the 3ds of Pirates Curse is not worth much compare to your Ps4, and you can always get the 2nd game off the shop. OR play Pirates Curse on the Switch I guess? Yeah I devalue the Pirates Curse switch game when I got it on release day and open it. Now I just need Risky's revenge, and the first game on the Switch and I be all set.

[Shark_Blade]

I only have 1/2 Genie on Switch so far loving it.

[drgon78]

We finally got a release date of May 28th.

[turtle1237]

That's 2 months away. Seems I have to use Amazon because I am sure gamestop would still be close.

[turtle1237]

Well this sucks, the Shantae pop comes out. I preorder it from Gamestop and because of Coronavirus, Gamestop is shut down. Not sure to cancel my order and get it from Amazon when Gamestop opens back up(Maybe) or just wait and see what happens.

[drgon78]

I hope the preoder starts soon.

[turtle1237]

May is a week away lol.

[drgon78]

Preorder starts May 15th.

[turtle1237]

1 more day until the preorder.

[drgon78]

Fun game though I do miss her classic transformations.

[drgon78]

So who else has played the game?

[Cryomancer]

It's pretty good.

[turtle1237]

Good news for Shantae fans, the First and 2nd game are finally hitting the Switch.

[drgon78]

Looks like we are getting an art book as well, I think it covers the first 4 games but might have stuff from the 5th.

https://www.limitedrungames.com/collections/everything-sold-out/products/switch-limited-run-84-shantae-riskys-revenge-collectors-edition

Just 8 more days and you can preorder the whole series on the switch. Well games 1 and 2.

[turtle1237]

My order came in about 3 weeks ago I think.

Since I held off to play the game I do rank it as the 3rd best Shantae game of all time, only after Pirates Curse and Shantae for the GBC. Squid Baron as always was the main event here. :lol:

[drgon78]

I really wish they would give us a release date for the art book.

I am really curious what updates/DLC we will get for the game that the company said like 6+ months ago we will be getting.

[Sumac]

Completed the game recently.
It's not bad, but suffers from all traditional Symphony of the Clones problems: big empty hallways with nothing, lack of meaningful platforming, incredibly easy bosses.
Overall: 4 out 5.
