    Wayforward is definitely a company that has some dedicated followers post the popularity boom of Shantae. I appreciate their work but I have to admit that I don't really enjoy anything they put out. Not a fan of 2D/Sidescrollers and that's like 99% of their library. That said I do have some interest in Sigma Star Saga but I've never been able to find a copy for a decent price and I don't want to play it digitally. I do want to check out the Advance Wars reboot and for sure the Clock Tower remaster/remake when that comes out. Hopefully they continue to grow and evolve with time. Even if their target audience isn't me for the vast majority of releases the ones that do stand out I think look neat.

    There are few games of theirs which I'm really familiar with besides Shantae, however the other ones I was thinking of weren't here, or I missed them. Like Contra 4 on the DS, and Batman The Brave and The Bold on Wii (just picked this one up, always heard a lot of praise for it). A lot of the license stuff just isn't for me, even if the game is good... sometimes the IP can still kill off enthusiasm for a game. Seems like they've gotten stuck with a lot of questionable IPs over the years. They're an enigma in that way, always contracting their talent out to a publisher who's just trying to cash in on naive children, and then taking the time to make the games actually good.

    • @vincenzomottola7778

      Nope, it's not that. It was never released because of expensive cartridge manufacturing costs.
      Mr. Bozon didn't want to do creative compromises to get the game on a tiny, tiny cartridge (presumably 4MB with battery backup) or a cartridge where you couldn't save your progress (presumably an 8MB cartridge without battery backup).
      The full Shantae Advance game probably would have required a 16MB cartridge with battery backup, which was too expensive to manufacture for an indie game, and no publisher was interested due to poor sales of the GBC original. Development would be paused in 2004, but... Orbital Media's Scurge: Hive was lucky enough to see the light of day on GBA, 2 years after the DS came out, and that game needed a 16MB cartridge with battery backup. WayForward could have easily released Shantae Advance back in 2005 or 2006, assuming the bigger capacity cartridge costs lowered.
      However, thanks to Limited Run Games, Mr. Bozon has been able to give Shantae Advance another shot, and will be available for pre-order this fall. Shantae Advance's development kinda reminds me of Ultracore and Clockwork Aquario.

      @@vincenzomottola7778 That's closer to what the problem was with Shantae 1. During the live stream they did of the game they explained that the biggest problem was that they couldn't find a publisher because no one wanted to publish non-licensed games on GBA. If it's not based on a cartoon, no Western publisher was touching it and there was a pretty hefty list of games which never got released due to that. As you mentioned, Scurge lucked out.
