I always get kind of bummed because these games don't have much of a following. I'm an hour in Shantae and the Pirate's Curse and I'm loving it. $20 on 3DS and definitely worth it (some people think it's the Kickstarter game, but it's not!)
Gameplay feels good, the art is nice, the music is phenomenal, and it's just got a ton of charm. Risky's Revenge was more of a Metroidvania, this one seems level-based so it feels a little tighter.
Anyone play the previous games? I never got around to trying the original on Game Boy Color, but I found RR to be really memorable. So far, so good on this one. Who knew that Nintendo systems would have potentially 4 spots on my game of the year list? (DK: Tropical Freeze, Shovel Knight, this game, and hopefully Bayonetta 2!)
