Besides Shantae’s new spiffy red and blue getup (which mimics the Neon Switch’s color scheme — no word on whether it’s a costume in-game or just promo art), the game will also feature HD Rumble. More details are promised soon, so stay wired for when specifics on release date and version differences drop.
