Remember DSiWare? Hell, remember the DSi? That handheld digital storefront is where Shantae got her second chance in 2010, and WayForward’s half-genie flagship has never looked back. Now that game is back on a Nintendo handheld (and home) system in the form of Shantae: Risky’s Revenge – Director’s Cut, an updated re-release from 2014.
You can head back to Sequin Land with all these pixels intact, and if you missed out on this one over the last decade it’s well worth checking out for the $9.99 asking price. Need more convincing? Check out our fresh Shantae: Risky’s Revenge Switch review. The game is available now on the eShop and plenty more digital platforms.
