With a recent appearance in Smash Brothers Ultimate and many now using “Ret-2-Go!” online, Shantae is here to stay! But, Shantae has had several releases since her first game and created a large impact in the world of gaming.
Since it was one of the last games released for the Game Boy, being so late in the console’s life is likely why people weren’t aware of it when it came out. The first game in the series was originally released on the Game Boy Color. The Shantae franchise is a long-running series of MetroidVania-style video games.
