Not sure why this doesn't have a thread yet, but it appears that the game will be out this Wednesday (10/26) at 11:00pm EDT. TA article: http://toucharcade.com/2011/09/30/shantae-riskys-revenge-ios-sure-looks-good/ Still the highest-rated DS downloadable title, I believe, and certainly a must-buy for me.
Haha, nevermind...as you can see in the triggywiggy's "Game Releases" thread, I posted that it was supposed to come out on the 27th, but saw 26 in this thread's original post and assumed it was coming out a day early for some reason.
You are technically both right! But the official release date is the 27th even though it comes out at 11 PM EST on the 26th.
I was waiting for this one ever since I read the TA article. I haven't played the DS version, but if it's as good as people say, I imagine it'll surpass all of the currently available iOS platformers.
It was since released as DSiWare and supposedly the controls were tweaked for the iOS platform. Yes it is the sequel to GBC game Shantae
I believe that, in terms of content and quality, this will be the best action platformer on the app store.
Rumor around the water cooler is that there is also going to be an ipad version. I hope this is true.
I'm really hoping so. There are some decent platformers for the iOS, but most of them were built for the iOS and can't really stand up to a good console/handheld platformer. If S:RR has done well on the DS, then the only issue I can see preventing it from being one of the top on the App Store would be if the controls are implemented poorly. I thought this was going to be another week of no games for me, but this announcement just fixed that. =)
WOW been wanting to try this....but its like 11-12 bucks on the ninty E-shop.....hopefully cheaper for ios...
