This week on the Completionist let's take a look at my Shantae review! A cult classic that started on the Game Boy Color. With only a single printing run of cartridges as one of the last games on the Game Boy Color, Shantae is one of the hardest and rarest cartridges to find. Borrowing from the Metroid formula and building upon familiar platformer experiences it was easy to pick up for a new IP. But what separated it from all other games was it's art-style and character design. Shantae stands out and it's no wonder how she continues to be beloved in present day.
Let me know what you thought of my Shantae review!

I'm honestly surprised that he didn't talk about the Middle-Eastern cultural style within Shantae's world, which really has like an Arabian Nights vibe to it, similar to Aladdin. In fact, Shantae's outfit actually looks extremely similar to Princess Jasmine's red outfit she wore near the end of Aladdin, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was the inspiration for Shantae's design!... Well that and the classic show "I Dream Of Jeannie" of course.

@megasean3000 4 года назад

WiegrafDX Hope so too. She’s the perfect character for Smash: diversified moveset, including transformations and hair whips, a bevvy of awesome soundtracks, lots of good locations for stages particularly Scuttle Town, lots of costume design ideas, she’s an indie character who started off as a Nintendo character and last but not least: it will certainly boost her popularity to new heights. The only thing I imagine stopping her from being in Smash would be her sex appeal, they already turned their nose at Mai Shiranui, but she had big, cleavaged boobs and exposed legs; Shantae has her boobs covered and wears baggy pants. The only thing exposed on her is her arms and belly. So yeah, I’m really drawing up a blank as to why she wouldn’t be allowed in Smash.

@Supercatandrewman 4 года назад

Are you gonna do Completionist reviews of the other Shantae games? Especially Half Genie Hero, as it feels like more of a Completionist's game, as there's so much more to do and complete than all of the other games! Does Half Genie Hero deserve a "Complete It" rating? Well I guess it depends on if Jirard thinks completing it is rewarding enough. I think the main rewards for completing every different mode are different win screen trophies, most of which show Shantae in different outfits. Some gamers find them rewarding enough, but for a hardcore Completionist like Jirard, I can't say for sure. If you ask me, if earning all of the win screens aren't rewarding enough for him, then I'd say the game deserves a Completionist rating of "Complinish It" (a mix between Complete and Finish It), as in Complete the main game (as it unlocks the good ending), but maybe don't complete all of the other game modes and DLC's that come with it. They're basically all of the exact same levels over and over again, but with some different game mechanics and dialogue to change it up a bit. I'd say completing the main game is enough, but that's just me.

Personally though my favorite hidden gem of all time is Klonoa, Door to Phantomile and i would love to see a review on that someday. Especially since in my opinion it is the exact opposite meaning it is a hidden gem that never quite got the recognition it deserved. Still find myself playing my copy of it quite often to this day.

@trollunderthebridge8696 4 года назад

Really, they worried about Shantae being too sexy for the Game Boy Color?... Well I never saw it that way. Don't get me wrong Shantae is quite a sight, but her design isn't too over the top, and I didn't find it distracting at all. If anything we could argue that she's more cute than sexy (or perhaps a perfect balance of the two?)... I always thought they weren't trying to make her just another sex symbol full of fanservice, but rather trying to make her look like a traditional Arabian belly dancer, and when it comes to cultural accuracy, I'd say they nailed it! After watching a couple videos by Gaijin Goombah, it opened my eyes to even more than I already knew about Shantae!

@Gale_Storm_ 4 года назад

I would say a good balance between beauty and cuteness, at least up to Risky's Revenge. Everything after has a higher cuteness rating, in my opinion. As far as the dancing and whatnot goes, I find it tasteful and tame, especially compared to other mediums...or how real people like to dance sometimes.
