WayForward’s Shantae franchise did not begin on home consoles. In fact, the very first game in the series released in 2002 on the Game Boy Color.
Almost a couple of decades later, 4 more games in the series have been released, and all of the 4 can be found on the Nintendo Switch. The original is not on the Switch, but that’s about to change.
Releasedate known
WayForward announced that the Shantae game that started it all is not only coming to the Nintendo Switch, but you’ll be able to play it on April 22nd. Once this happens, then every single Shantae game can be found on Nintendo’s console.
