This summer, Shantae returns! We are thrilled to announce that Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution, the previously missing chapter in the hit Shantae series, will arrive digitally on modern consoles and PC in the summer of 2025, including on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Steam. Originally developed for the Game Boy Advance system, this 20-years-in-the-making adventure is playable at PAX East, held May 8-11, in the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center at booth #11049. Additionally, a new trailer showing the revolutionary game in action can be seen here!

Isn't it weird that they specify PS4 and PS5, yet all throughout that page they only say 'XBOX'.
Even the trailer just has an 'XBOX' logo. I've never seen that before.

Technically, every platform is an XBOX, so that still works

Yup. I would have liked to have a cart but
1) it's LRG and screw LRG
2) they used old parts to put them together
3) I don't trust their cart repros anyway because of voltage concerns

Anywhere and everywhere, all at once.
Kinda surprised it doesn't have a solid release date, given the physical version is already out.
Might grab it when it comes out though!

As long as they're doing the port we're good

When a game just states "Xbox" with no specification, it usually means it for both the Xbox One and Series consoles.

This is quite common when a game releases on last gen and current gen

looks amazing. GBA pixel art might be one of my favorite visual styles ever.

Is this basically the first game that wasn't out on most of the platforms aside from switch?

I want to like the Shantae games more than I usually end up liking them, but each game has a tendency to hit you with a particular challenge or something fairly late into the game that really puts me off. That said, I'll probably still buy this at some point, as the games are still very well made, even if I don't usually finish them.

Oh okay
So confused with the titles lol
So I guess the one on switch that look like a gameboy color game is the only way to play it on a modern system

Stuff like this is why I'm against games dropping numbers from their titles 😂 Hell I still confuse all the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies. Yes it's my understanding that the gameboy color game is still only ported to PS4 and switch.

Thank fuck there's a classic graphics mode.
Never liked Wayforwards insistence on combining high res UI with pixel art.

WayForward seems like a quintessential company that does a lot of licensed work to pay for their passion projects. And they seem to be doing well and continue to be able to make the games they wanna make.

This is very common. It means it's coming to Xbox One and Xbox Series.

This is probably going to come back to bite them.
It's been "obtainable" pretty easily for a while now.
I am waiting until I can actually buy it but I imagine many are not.

Shame the very first game is not available in Xbox, I have all Shantae games there 😭 also this game will be better than its sequel?

Is it as good as the newest games or is it more a straight translation from the original version?
