Yeah that's nice and all, but IMO non-cutified Squid Baron is already cute enough.
Here's to my all-time favourite fourth wall-breaking video game squid!
He's a loveable scamp isn't he?
if not a bit of a pain in the ass

And the winner is... [drum roll] Rottytops!
TBH I already expected this, but I'm actually surprised that Bolo isn't the least voted character. Apparently, he is more popular than I thought him to be.
After more than a year, it will come to an end. Let that sink in for a moment.
Can I start looking forward to an entirely new installment? Too bad, I already do!
I don't get this. Did you type what you wanted to say?Shantae is more popular now than she's ever been, so a new game is all but guaranteed (feels nice to say that! We know that hasn't always been the case.)
but another part of me really, really wants a full 3D Shantae platformer.
I won't be getting it.

That feels nice to say, because, due to her relative obscurity, we haven't always been guaranteed a new Shantae title. Now, because she is much more popular, we are far more likely to get one.

Have to admit, I didn't get it when I first read it either.
Am I the only one who thinks it's rather depressing seeing how brutally Risky's healthy respect of Shantae in the ending of Pirate's Curse was shattered in 1/2 Genie Hero? Of course, it was to be expected that Risky wouldn't give up the pirate's life (she even said that herself in the end of Pirate's Curse). But damn, her evilness in HGH has to be a new lowest point; now she even has no problems with destroying the Genie Realm and consequently murdering one of Shantae's most loved persons, and one of the few remaining relatives she still has. Luckily for Shantae she was able to prevent her from doing this, but only just.
Until now I've always considered Risky to be the Shantae series equivalent of Captain Syrup, but after I had this realisation, I no longer do.
Some people seemed to think that Risky was now some sort of "good guy" or "edgy anti-hero" following Pirate's Curse, which was lame. She's the villain
Believe me, that's not even the most stupid thing people thought about Risky Boots. Apparently there are people out there who think that Risky has some kind of romantical or sexual interest in Shantae. Yes, really. Because threating to rip you apart, attacking your hometown, kidnapping your uncle, turning your friends against each other, stealing your magic powers, making an evil clone of your very soul and attempting to kill your family is a sign of true love, right?Some people seemed to think that
Maybe I may sound like one of these too, but I'm not like these people: I never expected Risky to become a good guy or even an anti-villain. She has always been evil, and will probably always be. But what I did expect though, was that Risky would be a more respectful villain from Pirate's Curse onward. A bit like Bowser: the arch-enemy of the protagonist in red, but never actually wanting to kill his enemy, even when he is able to. But instead she seemed (to me at least) to have crossed what TV Tropes would call a Moral Event Horizon. There's a bit of irony in how, in Risky's Revenge, Shantae says that putting her friends against each other is low and sick. Little does she know what Risky will commit far worse atrocities, to her and others, in the future.

Seriously, I haven't heard that much BS since that one Gaijin Goombah vid.
