Shantae: The Best Platformer You've Never Played

There are many great platformers out there. Super Mario, Donkey Kong, Sonic the Hedgehog, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet and Clank, Banjo-Kazooie, Sly Cooper, just to name a few. And while I do agree that they’re great, I think they’ve been hogging the spotlight for far too long. Instead, we’re going to be talking about Shantae, the most criminally underrated platformer of all time… in my opinion.The Shantae series is a 2D platformer series developed by WayForward that currently consists of five games: Shantae, Shantae: Risky’s Revenge, Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, and Shantae and the Seven Sirens. They follow the adventures and endeavours of the Half-Genie Shantae, who often finds herself tangled up in the evil schemes of the nefarious Queen of the Seven Seas: Risky Boots. In this video, I cover everything you need to know about the series, from the gameplay to the story to the visuals to the music, all in an effort to convince you to give this spectacular series a try. Whether you play the origins of the series on the GameBoy Color and GameBoy Advance or try out the latest releases on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, there’s always fun to be had in the wonderful world of Shantae. I hope you enjoy the video!#Shantae #ShantaeRiskysRevenge #ShantaeAndThePiratesCurse #ShantaeHalfGenieHero #ShantaeAndTheSevenSirens #platformer #game #gaming #Nintendo #PlayStation #Xbox #WayForward #SmashUltimate

Shantae has been on a pretty good run since Pirates Curse. I enjoy all 5 games. Not as much as Crash or Sonic, but she is a close 3rd. Which is big marks for me.
