About this product

Product Information

WayForward Technologies introduces a brand new character in a game that mixes classic platforming action with puzzle solving, rhythm and dance, and a variety of mini games. As the title character and heroine of the adventure, gamers become a multi-talented belly dancing genie who can use her moves to transform into different creatures, including a deadly spider, an agile monkey, a powerful elephant, or even a scary harpy. The talented genie can also fend off enemies with a flick of her long ponytail. Cute but tough, little Shantae searches for the pirate Risky Boots, who has stolen important plans that may be put to evil use if not recovered.<br><br>Originally conceived as a SNES title, a long and involved development has fashioned a game designed to squeeze big production value out of the little Game Boy Color. Bright colors, sophisticated lighting and transparency effects, and multi-plane scrolling give a sense of depth to the 2D presentation. Like other cartridges created for the hardy Game Boy Color, this game is also compatible with the Game Boy Advance, and Shantae includes special programming designed for better, clearer display on the 32-bit handheld. The GBC game also includes a special area and other extras which are only accessible when it's played on the GBA.

    Shantae's First Adventure!

    Shantae is a half-genie girl in charge of guarding the small seaside town, Scuttle Town. One day pirates attack, and the vile Risky Boots steals a prototype steam engine. What's worse is Risky plans to find 4 magical relics to power up the engine into a mighty weapon! Shantae will visit towns, and search labyrinths in her quest to stop Risky. Shantae's main weapon is her hair, which she can whip at enemies to collect gems and hearts for energy(that they drop). Shantae can find other tools at item shops, save the game, and learn info in the different towns. Shantae will also learn magical dances to change into different animals needed to complete tasks, and to warp to the various towns. Never heard of Shantae? You're not alone. It came out near the end of the Game Boy Color's run ...

  • Awesome game

    I've never heard of shantae until I played the pirates curse needless to say I got hooked. I had to find out more of the franchise's history. I baught a reproduction copy of the game since I couldn't afford the original which I really wanted the original over the reproduction copy. It's fun & entertaining. I wish that I knew about it when it came out back on 2002.

  • Shantae Gameboy Color VHTF

    Shantae for the Gameboy Color system is a nice old game that is very hard to find. It features a female genie who sometimes does sexy dances and protects a small town. The prices to have this in your collection are ridiculously high. You may prefer to get a fan-made reproduction. Buy it if you can afford it.

  • Worth Every Cent

    Now, if you cannot afford the original game, whether it be just the game or complete in box, you can buy it for next to nothing on the Nintendo eShop. Even if that was not the case, the game would be worth every cent buying an original copy. This game is amazing, with graphics and sound that could easily be mistaken as being on the Game Boy Advance. The story and the gameplay is amazing and never become stale. If you have not played this game yet, just find a way, because it is amazing! (:

  • Shantae: A GBC Swan Song

    Written by NY Gamer (brother to Skygrinder, Thanks again for the buy!) I've heard alot about this game from various sources (GoNintendo.Com, Reviews, Etc.) and while I was a bit skeptical on how a GBC game grabbed all of this praise... i dove in to pick up a copy. While the price on ebay may throw some people off (I mean, the game can climb up to a C-Note! I was even thrown from this!!!) I did get a nice deal on it and I'm glad I went ahead with buying this game! Well, onto the meat and potatoes: Gameplay: 10/10 About 16 hours first time, Following Plays about 10 hours. Overworld, 5 towns, 3 money making minigames, 4 Dungeons, Final Area. The game is a platformer and can be an unforgiving one at that with health dropped sparingly from enemies and 1ups allocated to dungeons.) The ...
