WayForward recently announced that Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is coming to Switch this summer. Even though the news was only just shared a few weeks ago, it looks like we won’t be waiting much longer for the release.
According to a listing on the eShop, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is heading to Switch in Europe next week – June 8. It will cost £15.99. We’d also not be surprised to see North America getting the game on the same day.
Below are some screenshots from the eShop listing (presumably from the Switch version):
And an overview:
Shantae embarks on her first full HD adventure! When a mysterious crime wave sweeps Seguin Land, it’s up to Half-Genie Hero Shantae to save the day!

In this week’s issue of Famitsu, Seiken Densetsu Collection producer Masaru Oyamada is interviewed. Oyamada spoke about why the package was brought to Switch and also teased new developments for the series’ 25th anniversary.
Below are several tidbits from the interview, as translated by Gematsu:
- (Regarding the release of Seiken Densetsu Collection🙂 When I thought that I wanted to release a packaged edition that compiles the first three Seiken Densetsu games, Nintendo Switch, the most suitable hardware, was announced. The platform makes it easy for users to enjoy multiplayer.
- Today’s elementary school students only know the latest high-definition graphic titles. I want parents and children to enjoy the classic Seiksen Densetsu titles together.
- The point I want you to pay attention to is the transition and connection of the series. I want you to become acquainted with these amazing games released over 20 years ago.
- The tricks from the original versions of the games were left almost as is.
- (Regarding a new title:) Of course, I would like to announce new developments on the series’ 25th anniversary.
- It’s still undecided, but there may be some sort of movement when playing Seiken Densetsu Collection.
- I want to develop the series more and more from here on. Please support us.
