‘Shantae’ on the 3DS Virtual Console?

With Game Boy titles now being released on the 3DS eShop, we are frequently asked if we plan on bringing the original ‘Shantae’ to the service.

We have nothing to confirm at this time, but we can say that we are actively pursuing the re-release of ‘Shantae’ on the 3DS Virtual Console. As soon as we have anything to report, we will let you know. Until then, keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter pages for future updates.

Special announcement!

"Attention Shantae fans!  Keep an eye on TouchArcade for a very special announcement, coming soon!" 

Shantae: Risky’s Revenge - Original Soundtrack

We’ve had a lot of people ask about an official Shantae soundtrack; “Just tell me where to put my credit card number! Money is no object, I just HAVE to have it!”, you all said. Remember how you said that?

Well, you know, we could have put the OST on a CD for you guys to buy, but we’re so generous, we’ve decided to do one better. We’ve made the entire soundtrack available for download FREE* of charge!

You can find all 30 tracks at biglionmusic.com right now. No strings attached!

Now, just one thing: you see that little asterisk next to “FREE”? See it up there? Let me tell you what that’s all about. You candownload the soundtrack free of charge, but there’s also an option to “Buy Now”. If you think it’s worth paying for (which it is), and if you so desire, the option is there. You can even choose how much it’s worth to you. Any and all proceeds will go into the studio budget for music equipment, and will help ensure that we can do even more of this sort of thing in the future. It’s win-win!

But hey, it’s up to you. If you just can’t swing it, we only ask that you enjoy the music and help spread the word. Tell your friends, whip up some remixes, blast it in your car as you drive by an old folks home - you know, all the stuff you’d normally do with your new favorite album.

You can thank Jake “Virt” Kaufman for putting this all together and hooking you guys up.  Jake composed all the music on the original Shantae, as well as everything you hear in Risky’s Revenge. If you see him on the street, give him a nice solid fist bump, and any spare change you may be carrying.

In all seriousness, we just hope you enjoy the music as much as you’re going to enjoy the game. Give it a download, and just have fun with it.
