Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Kickstarter ends, getting second bonus chapter
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Update: Shantae: Half-Genie Hero’s Kickstarter has ended. WayForward ended up raising $776,084 on the site and another $35,878 on PayPal for a total of $811,962. PayPal donations will continue to be accepted.

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.

You can find the full art above as well as closeups of individual sections. ONM also has some analysis here.
