WayForward interested in the idea of a Shantae animated series, up for exploring different genres
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
It’s tough to believe that the Shantae series is nearly twenty years old. The adventure-platformer franchise first started out in 2002 with its debut entry on the Game Boy Color. WayForward is still continuing on with the IP having recently launched Shantae and the Seven Sirens, and it looks like the studio has no intention of slowing down anytime soon.
One possibility for Shantae in the future is an animated series. At the very least, creator Matt Bozon and his wife Erin are interested in the idea.
Bozon told Comicbook in a new interview:

Lou Albano was willing to change his name to Mario for The Super Mario Bros. Super Show
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
We’ve seen a number of animated Nintendo shows over the years. Zelda, Kirby, and F-Zero have all had their own series, some longer than others. Mario also had a number of appearances on television, including The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, which aired in 1989.
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show wasn’t entirely animated. While that was the focus, Lou Albano and Danny Wells played the roles of Mario and Luigi respectively during live-action segments. In Albano’s case, it seems he was so dedicated to the job that he was willing to change his actual name to Mario.
