The latest edition of Nintendo Power has confirmed that Wayforward’s classic Game Boy Colour title Shantae is heading to the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console. The platformer was released back in 2002 by Capcom and was met by universal acclaim. IGN gave Shantae a 9 out of 10, and called it a “wonderful platform adventure.”
Wow, I can’t believe we’re finally getting this great classic for the Virtual Console!
they are keen to put all these ok gbc games on vc. where is oracle of ages, oracle of seasons , metal gear and many others ??
Id die for some wiiu news :(
Some *decent
Hahahaha xD
I don’t know if the GameBoy version was any good, but the DSi Ware was terrible
Really? I really liked it! Maybe you should retry it again and re reperience it because its a very well made platformer.
That reminds me, wasn’t Shantae HD or something coming to Wii U’s digital store?
I believe you are thinking of Mighty Switch Force HD.
I thought there was another Wayforward game coming to it beside Mighty SF HD
As far as I am aware of, they are making more games but that is the only one annouced so far.
NEED SUM WII U NEWS! PLEASE ALBA I NEED SUM WII U NEWS.
NEW SUPAH MARIO BRATHAS YOU! :)
need to see some analog stick pushing! Aww those soft, yet delicate analog sticks that push. Then having a vibrate feature.
Awesome! Also, “Zelda 2: Adventure of Link” has a confirmed Q4 release on the 3DS virtual console as well. We’re getting some good VC titles now!
i already have that one
As do I, it’s only for ambassadors.
Blaghh… never heard of Shantae. I wish they would put some crazy cool titles on the VC.
The only reason you haven’t heard of it was it was released when the gba was out but on the GBC, so it never became too popular, but its a really good platformer.

i want pokemon blue and red for virtual console with working multiplayer , this will make LOT of people buy the 3DS(yeah 3ds so we can see it at full screen and not in a shitty space like ds/dsi games.
that would be awesome!!!!! I would pay a ton just to play those on there! Red blue gold and silver! That would be so nice to have! Maybe someday…
i want a megaman battle network game on the eshop anyone, then i would go buy a 3ds right away instead of 2 months from now
gotta love WayForward games
Mr. Zachary Miller needs a change of underwear for this awesome news.
Man! Shantaes risky revenge is fun so I can’t wait to play this. But I don’t think it was made by capcom, it was made by wayforward.
Cool, I just beat Risky’s Revenge some time last week, so it’ll be cool to play the original. Plus I understand they’re working on a Wii U sequel so that’s even better.
Wait! If it’s coming to Virtual Console, does that mean that my Shantae GBC cartridge will be (or already is) worthless?
Old news…
this is awesome, cause i belive the actually cart is worth well over a hundred dollars
