Shantae (GBC) coming to 3DS Virtual Console on June 20
We posted a blog update a couple weeks ago from Way Forward about Shantae (GBC) coming to 3DS VC and now we have an official date! The game will release on June 20. Here’s the update from Way Forward:
The original Shantae, oft referred to as the Game Boy Color’s “swan song” will be belly dancing her way onto Virtual Console soon. Just take a gander at that shiny new box art! This beloved bit of gaming history was previously only available in North America. Not this time! Shantae will be making appearances in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand; wherever good times are had. Unfortunately we will not be able to announce a specific release date (June 20th) at this time. Check back angrily and often at www.wayforward.com to discover the Shantae’s secret release date (that’s June 20th) in the days and weeks ahead. See you on June 20th!

I am seriously looking forward to being able to play this. I enjoyed the sequel way forward developed, and from the game play videos i’ve seen and the outrageous prices this game commands on eBay, I will definitely enjoy getting to play this game finally.

That’s one of my favorite things about the VC … access to games that are either impossible to find, far too expensive, or both! I hope to see more GBC games in particular in the coming months.

Amen to that! The Game Boy and Game Boy Color had some fantastic games that i’d love to be able to tote around on my 3DS. Here’s hoping we get even more GBC love.
