Many, many years ago, WayForward was working on a Shantae sequel for the Game Boy Advance. Sadly, it was cancelled due to a lack of publisher interest.

While Shantae GBA never saw the day of light, WayForward did show a demo of the project during a stream last night as a means of promoting the final hours of its Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Kickstarter. You can find footage above.

With just minutes remaining in its crowdfunding campaign, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero managed to reach another stretch goal on Kickstarter. Thanks to the $800,000 in donations received on the site as well as through PayPal, the game will be receiving a second bonus chapter.

Here’s the official overview:

“Suffering one mistake too many, the Mayor hires a new Guardian Genie to replace Shantae. When Scuttle Town contracts amnesia, Shantae travels to Tassle Town to discover her rival’s true origins.”

Note that a new transformation will be included in the second bonus chapter.

Half-Genie Hero’s first bonus chapter was guaranteed at $600,000. Yesterday, costume swaps were confirmed for the new Shantae title after total funds hit $700,000.

ONM has come across another piece of art for Super Mario 3D World, and it shows a whole bunch of things (including what looks like a vague look at the Comet Observatory from Super Mario Galaxy – see image nine). You can find the full art above as well as closeups of individual sections. ONM also has some analysis here.
