Shantae is a platform video game developed by WayForward Technologies and published by Capcom for the Game Boy Color. Released in 2002, it became obscure due to its release coming a year after that of the Game Boy Advance, even if it did show support for the new handheld, as special features are available when played on a Game Boy Advance. However, the game was a critical hit and has received recognition since its release, being nominated in some lists of the best Game Boy titles; it is therefore now considered a cult classic. The game was re-released via the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console on July 18, 2013. A sequel, Shantae: Risky's Revenge, was released for DSiWare in 2010, with an iOS port released in 2011 and a PC port released in 2014. Two additional games, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse and Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, are currently in development.
