One thing that really impressed me about this game is that are no gimmick items. There are some gimmick areas that require certain items for sure but they are all useful in general gameplay. Granted they aren't all that unique, but it worked.

Also I'm glad they went with the guy from Inticreates for the artwork, because the previous games had art almost approaching Touhou levels of bad.
I thoroughly enjoyed Shantae & the Pirate's Curse, enough that I 100%'ed the new game+. I wouldn't get mad hearing everyone call it the best game on the eshop.
I didn't really like Risky's Revenge all that much to be honest, way too many kill rooms is all I remember... and I can't really get into the gbc original, but I know I would have back in the day.
Risky's Revenge is getting a directors cut re-release on 3DS and WiiU at some point, I don't think it's been properly announced yet. But I might revisit it on 3DS for (hopefully) the larger resolution and the sake of putting it in between the two other games (The DSi game didn't get released in Australia and New Zealand)

Shantae is a pretty cool series I suppose, I like the music and beautiful pixel art throughout but I don't think it really comes together until Pirates Curse- hopefully that means it's a series that gets better with each new entry

I too love my Spinal Tap edition 3DS, but it's off being modded so I jumped on the opportunity to get the initial 3DS I wanted to play something in the meantime. I haven't had my 3DS for 2 weeks now and I won't for another 3, at least, I'm having withdrawals. Help.

Yeah, exactly this. I was thinking about buying a red one just because I've always bought black electronics, but honestly, as a 30 year old man that still plays videogames, I don't want to call anymore attention to it than I have to.

The thing I noticed was that they're all about improving the platforming, with combat taking a backseat. Like, you get the pistol, and you'd expect to be shooting dudes with it, but it's mostly used for hitting buttons that are too far away to hair-whip. You get the scimitar, and you'd expect it to be useful for slicing guys up, and instead it's literally Scrooge McDuck's cane from Ducktales and you're bouncing around on their heads with it. And the best part is that new areas are always adding new platforming wrinkles on top of old ones, so you're expected to be using all your moves together to get where you're going, so in that respect the level design is pretty awesome.

What's not awesome is the multi-island setup, so you're forced to backtrack out of every island if you want to go somewhere else. Some of the later islands are pretty big, and there are no wrap points, so if you miss any collectibles, gently caress you, gotta go through 15 screens worth of platforming to get that last Tinkerbat! It's kinda annoying, the moreso because their aren't very many shortcuts through areas, like, in Metroid, once you get through an area you usually get the item that lets you blow up a wall that lets you skip the most annoying rooms to traverse, but that doesn't really happen here, so if you're item collecting then you're gonna go through those same areas the exact same way to get to the one room you couldn't reach before.

I used to think this, then I was playing my MMN3DSXL while waiting in public and some dude in an anime shirt came over to who wanted to see it. While examining it he noticed a scratch on the side and interrogated me about it. I was like, "Oh, yeah, I dropped it." This personally offended him to the point that he felt the need to lecture me on not having a case. The rant ended with something called a "brohoof" which I had to look up online and immediately felt even more uncomfortable than I already did.

There hasn't been any officialy announcement, but I would bet that it will. The game has amiibo support and most other One Piece games have been getting released in the US over the past couple of years. I would guess we will probably get it sometime in the late summer or fall.

It is nice to have access to older games without having to own the older hardware. Of course, a robust virtual console service would serve the same purpose, but alas....
