Shantae: Half-Genie Hero PAX Interview

During PAX Prime, Nintendo sat down with indie developer WayForward to chat all things Shantae.

In development for multiple platforms, including Wii U, Xbox One and PS4, Shantae Half-Genie Hero is the latest chapter in the popular platforming series. Funded on Kickstarter back in 2013, the hand-drawn HD experience once again follows the story of half-genie Shantae, who can transform into creatures and whip her iconic locks to attack enemies.

Austin from WayForward discusses the appeal of the franchise, the visual style and an estimated launch frame for the much anticipated game.
