Product Description

Shantae and her friends are coming to Nintendo Switch in full HD with tons of new content in the form of the 'Ultimate Edition,' containing all the DLC! In addition to the bevy of vivid, detailed high-definition graphics that made this newest entry in the Shantae series resemble a playable TV show as Shantae danced and transformed her way through 2.5D platforming action, the 'Pirate Queen's Quest' DLC allows players to take on the role of Shantae' s arch-nemesis, Risky Boots, in a whole new storyline! The 'Friends to the End' DLC features ethereal new levels and a special boss encounter as Shantae' s pals Sky, Bolo, and Rottytops enter her nightmare to try to save her from certain doom, while the 'Costume Mode' DLC provides three new arcade-style adventures for her to sashay her way through in style.

From the manufacturer

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero – Ultimate Edition

In the beautiful, magical world of Sequin Land lives a spirited young half-genie named Shantae. Gifted with a special ability to belly-dance and transform herself into various creature forms (not to mention the most powerful ponytail in the world!), Shantae has dedicated her life to defending Scuttle Town from evil in its many forms! So far she’s kept her home safe from steam-powered pirates, undead evildoers, and militaristic madmen, proving time and again that there’s nothing this genie-girl can’t handle.

However, as certain as the rising tides, Scuttle Town is about to fall victim to another nefarious scheme by the pirate captain and self-proclaimed Queen of the Seven Seas, Risky Boots! No citizen of Sequin land is safe!

Shantae’s invention-obsessed uncle has just discovered a new and limitless source of power by mixing magic with magnetism – a power that Risky Boots wants all for herself! But that’s not all: villainy is on the rise all across Sequin Land, and our poor Shantae can’t be everywhere at once. Is she hero enough to topple this wave of criminal masterminds and still make time to foil Risky’s latest scheme?

Join Shantae as she adventures through steamy jungles, ancient ruins, counterfeit mermaid factories (what?), stormy deserts, ghoulish graveyards, and much, much more, all while struggling to unlock the long-lost secrets of her genie heritage. Can Shantae save Sequin Land once again? Or will Risky Boots finally succeed in ruling the world? All is not as it seems in this latest, greatest Shantae adventure!

Available April 24th!

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is a fantastic platformer that continues the series' pedigree of excellent gameplay.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 24, 2018

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: Ultimate Day oneVerified Purchase

Birthed from a successful Kickstarter campaign, this game was released a few years ago for various platforms. This is the first time, however, that the game has appeared on the Nintendo Switch. Along with this new release, the game comes packaged with all of the additional DLC and campaigns that have since been made available after that initial release. This includes the Risky Boots story chapters, Mighty Switch Force DLC, Ninja mode, and many others.

The game spans multiple multi-layered stages that are less about platforming prowess and more about exploration. It takes inspiration from games that follow Metroid's design philosophies and injects them into more straightforward levels. You'll find many power-ups and abilities that will help you on your journey, the most important of these being the transformations. Activating a transformation (which is done by dancing to a rhythmic beat that determines which one you can choose) will allow you turn into anything from a wall-climbing monkey, to a boulder-busting elephant. Knowing when and where to use a specific transformation is part of what makes this game a joy to play, as each creature plays completely different from one another. Collecting every hidden item in this game will require a keen understanding of how each transformation can be used.

Half-Genie Hero, as with each Shantae game before it, is whimsically charming, devilishly funny, and endlessly entertaining. The story, while simple, carries and paces itself brilliantly so that it feels like you are actually progressing, rather than meandering senselessly.

Beating the game will take the average player about 8 hours or so just for the main story. However, trying to 100% the game will certainly take even those with more experience at least twice as long, as the hidden items and abilities are cunningly hidden (but never in such a way that you feel cheated). Along with this, the other game modes will certainly add a considerable amount of enjoyment. You will absolutely get your money's worth from the breadth of options made on offer.

If you're coming into this as a fan of the series, you will feel right at home, even if the game plays in a much more straightforward, left-to-right fashion. If you're looking for a way to get into the series, this is the perfect place (though, you cannot go wrong with any of them).

Extreme Value for this Limited Edition - Must by for fans

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 11, 2018

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: Ultimate Day oneVerified Purchase

Fantastic bundle of fan goodies for anyone who is fond of the Shantae games and their colorful characters. While not the best game in the series, in my opinion, the game is still great fun, and the game looks and runs great on the Switch - a great game to play on the go.

Now for the package, it comes with the physical game, an art booklet, and a limited edition soundtrack. Considering the music in this game is above average to catchy/great, it's a nice inclusion. The music in the game is about what you'd expect from the series, except going for a more clean sound to match the 2.5D cartoon styled graphics - as opposed to the pixel are of past games. Speaking of the art, the art boot that comes with the game here is surprisingly substantial. Sketches, concepts, and character profiles - all in a thicker than expected booklet. The print isn't the sharpest you'll see, but it still looks sharp. The most pleasant surprise is the presence of a game manual - in the game itself.

Long have we learned to never expect a manual, and only a few cards or something. But no, within the package, you ALSO get a full manual with graphics and game controls inside. A nice throwback, apparently something Wayforward is known for doing, and shooting for in physical releases for games.

All is contained neatly in a cardboard box, organized well with a cardboard divider to keep things in order inside.

In summation: If you're a fan of this series, it's a must buy. If you're a game collector, it's a must buy for the value and content you get. If you're a fan of platformers and the art style catches your eye, it's a must buy (for the price). If you're not, still consider it, because as a package, it's one of the best values you'll find on the Switch right now in terms of content and gameplay. It's a little casual, so you won't sweat playing through - however it's a quirky and charming title you likely won't regret picking up.

Very good, lots of content

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 7, 2019

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: Ultimate Day oneVerified Purchase

This is a very nice collector's edition of the game with an art book, soundtrack, and a copy of the game with all DLC. This is more a review of the collector's edition itself instead of the game (however the game is very good too).

The visual design of the box, soundtrack, art book, and game case are all very nice, and very good quality. Be warned though that my box came in a bit dented on the corners. I didn't mind enough to send it back but if you want this for a collection or you're very particular about the condition of your game boxes then you may want to consider buying in-person instead.

A very good product barring that one exception.

Great Bundle for Fans of the Series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 8, 2018

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: Ultimate Day oneVerified Purchase

Just got my preorder in the mail, and I’m not disappointed. The game itself comes in a standard Switch clamshell. On the inside is a cute design, a full color instruction book and the game cart. The cart has all the dlc and extras on it, no downloads! The art book is gorgeous, and I was particularly amused by the little Shantae on the corner of each page that dances when you fill the pages quickly. The soundtrack is packed in its own plastic and cardboard cd case, no loose cd or cheap paper wrapper. Everything comes packed in a collector box a bit smaller than a hardcover book. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the quality of everything included. Good job WayForward!

The media could not be loaded.

I ordered this on 7/8/19 and estimated delivery was 7/12-7/17 but received it yesterday. Faster delivery than expected! I haven't played this series since the original back on the Gameboy Color and didn’t get to finish but played Pirates Curse to only get easily hooked again. I didn’t get to play this one yet but the updated visuals look great and I highly recommend this series to anybody who enjoys Metroidvania type of games.

Excelente plataformas 2d, rejugable y divertido.

Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on May 9, 2018

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: Ultimate Day oneVerified Purchase

Quién es shantae, shantae es un juego plataformas 2d, que nació en game boy color convirtiéndose en un juego de culto. Este juego es una versión física del juego lanzado en e shop con todo el contenido disponible, este shantae sigue una estructura por niveles con bosses, los niveles tienen su encanto y rejugabilidad ya que para obtener todos sus coleccionables debes regresar una vez que hayas obtenido una habilidad específica, los niveles son muy encantadores y tienen su propio encanto, el juego me parece excelente y lo recomiendo. Ahora y centrándome en la edición día uno es sencillamente espectacular, el artbook del juego es una delicia, la calidad y el mimo de esta edición es genial, si nunca lo has jugado es compra obligada, si lo tienes en digital esta edición física llamará mucho tu atención.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 8, 2018

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: Ultimate Day oneVerified Purchase

Preordered this as one of my first Limited Editions. Happy that it came in on release date. First thing I did was inspect the box. There's a small little wrinkle in the bottom right corner. That said, I think it's in very acceptable condition and is nowhere as bad as reports on how other collector editions were boxed and shipped (FE:Warriors and Axiom Verge). Can't wait to add this to my shelf :)

This Limited Edition includes three items: Game (complete in case with manual), soundtrack CD, and an artbook.

* The game itself is a very solid platformer. The hand-drawn animation is simply gorgeous. There isn't much to say. If you enjoyed previous Shantae games (or similar games such as Shovel Knight), then this game is a must play!

* The cartridge comes in a standard Switch case. Nothing to write home about. What did catch my eye was in the instruction manual. Most current gen games no longer include these, but it's great that Shantae and other physical indie games are trying their best to keep the tradition alive. Of course, the game itself is the exact same as the Ultimate Edition available on the eShop. What's also great is that the DLC is on the cartridge itself. No download tied to the game, and no download code provided in a piece of paper. This is convenient in case I ever want to lend the game to a friend, as they'll be able to play all of it.

* I won't be using the soundtrack CD since I don't have a CD player or a disc reader on my laptop. That said, it's still nice to have it sealed as a collector's item.

* The artbook is by far my favourite item (and my reason for buying this). It's not big. It's about as wide as the game case's height, and about as tall as the entire box it comes in. I flipped through it. Lots of goodies in there including sketches, uncoloured drawings, and full page artworks. There's also a dancing Shantae in the bottom left corner if you choose to use the artbook as a flipbook. One thing I noticed is that the cover of the artbook isn't completely flat. Shantae is slightly lifted from the cover, which is a nice little detail.

All in all, this is a solid package. One of the cheaper collector's editions I've come across and well worth the money for what you get.

Precioso juego de Shantae que todo fan debe tener <3

Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on June 5, 2018

El juego en sí es precioso (historia, personajes y OST), su paquete en el que viene, su disco de música de "Risky Beats", su libro de arte es un deleite para mis ojos <3
De hecho solamente lo compré por su disco de música y su libro de arte ya que el juego en sí ya lo tengo para el One, lo cuál regalaré a un amigo que desconoce completamente de Shantae, espero que con este título se enamoré de ella y su historia :)
Lo único malo que veo es que no tuvieron cuidado con el paquete, esta doblado en las esquinas pero si no contamos eso... ¡Todo lo demás esta excelente! :D

The game has a special charm that just doesn't go away while playing. The music is great, the art design is adorable and easy to look at, and the music is catchy to boot. The humor is good alongside with the dialogue. The game itself and all the DLC included will more than enough to keep you busy. It even includes an artbook and soundtrack! All in all, this is a very good package, well worth the price. If you're a fan of platformers, or just looking for a very fun game; look no further. I highly recommend.
