Between Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse as well as Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, there’s a lot of Shantae goodness coming our way in the near future. Regarding the former title, WayForward says that it’s almost done. The studio said in a Kickstarter update for Half-Genie Hero earlier this month that Pirate’s Curse “is nearing the finish line”.
Winter may have just begun, but Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse is nearing the finish line! The team is working super crazy hard and the game just keeps getting more amazing with each passing day. By the time the last snowfall of Winter melts you should all be happily enjoying a brand new adventure in Sequin Land!

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth composers on the game’s music
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Famitsu recently spoke with a pair of composers involved with Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth’s music. Shoji Meguro, composer of the Persona series and Atsushi Kitajo, composer of Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, chatted with the Japanese magazine.
The two told Famitsu:
“While it does have the essence of Etrian Odyssey in it, once you get to play it for yourself, you’ll immediately know that it’s a new title of the Persona series. Even on the sound-side of things, essentially, it doesn’t stray away from the Persona series, and we were even able to bring out a unique Persona Q sound to it.” – Kitajo
“The scenario has some comical parts, but the planners had a few difficult requests like wanting us to give a taste of an occult-like BGM.” – Meguro
“In the first place, Persona Q has a side that is meant for the Atlus brand’s 25th anniversary festival, and in addition to this, the desire to make it a ‘complete title’ in the Persona series, has become very strong. In that regard, the sound direction will be changing, so we’ve also had some consultation done within the development team.” – Kitajo
