Why is Shantae so pale in this game?

PopRocks3593887d ago

I have two guesses. 1) The designers felt like changing it. The entire art style is different from before to be fair. 2) It could have to do with the ending of Risky's Revenge (which I ain't gonna spoil).

DarkHeroZX3886d ago

Why change something that should be a non-issue?

Misaka_x_Touma3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

Well maybe because she have Sun Powers lol joking

Past Shantae games were made Pre 9/11.

I know I wasn't the only one thinking it.

I may be wrong, but I think it factors in.

I hope not though, and it's kind of dumb to change a character who SHOULD have a darker skin tone.

PopRocks3593887d ago

A post like this deserves way, way more heat than it's already gotten. This is a big deal, if you ask me. It's freaking awesome.

Misaka_x_Touma3887d ago

I will get it for Wii U and 3DS.

PopRocks3593887d ago

No 3DS or Vita versions as far as I know. This is meant to be a home console game from the looks of it.

Misaka_x_Touma3887d ago

oh wait that the other game that coming for 3DS.

Well I get it for Wii U.

Venoxn4g3886d ago

for the love of ...something.. please support this game :) I love Shantae games :)

I'm a huge Shantae fan, but this selection is weak. It's official, MS is definitely skimping on GWG in favor of GP.

I mean...I guess LoS 2 is cool.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1521d ago

Don’t you mean it’s “your opinion “ that MS is skimping on GWG? I happen to like LOS2 and will be glad to play through it again. And GP is a PAID service don’t you think that a PAID service should offer better quality games? Yes yes I know XBL is also a paid service but that’s a different conversation

gangsta_red1521d ago

No it's an actual fact. Every comment I leave is a fact.

"And GP is a PAID service don’t you think that a PAID service should offer better quality games?"

Yes, I actually do think that a PAID service should offer better games, but as you also made mention and casually dismissed XBL is a PAID service and don't you think a PAID service should offer a better selection of games?

@gangsta_red

XBL is a paid service for ONLINE SERVICES aka online multiplayer. The free games given every month is just a bonus. Stop bitching.

Finished Batman TEW a few months ago. It was the second worst TT game I've played. Really didn't enjoy it.

I hope those that do play it get more enjoyment out of it than I did.

darthv721521d ago

Sonic generations and LoS2.... hell yeah. My 360 has been itching to play these.

nevin11521d ago

As a non Xbox gamer, why are the free games availability scattered around.

I mean Batman is available the whole month

Castlevania is available March to the 15th

Shantae is available starting March 16th

Sonic is available the 16th-31st.

Has always been like this?

shabz6661521d ago

Yep it’s always been like this. It was weird then and it’s weird now

SpeedDemon1521d ago

Yeah its been like that. They do 2 games at the 1st of the month and then the other 2 on the 15th, some of the games are available for longer periods, it's depends on what they work out with the publisher .

Smellsforfree1520d ago

You just have to "claim" it from the store within those time frames so it doesn't matter that much to people who are interested, but I agree it is kinda weird.

Awsome!! Great games!

It only makes sense that as more games are added to Xbox Game Pass some are taken away. Find out what's leaving the subscription service this September.
