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.

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.

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.

Aqua Moto Racing 3D will be released next week on the North American 3DS eShop, Zordix has announced. The game will be available on October 10. A final price point has not yet been confirmed.
