It was nearly a year ago that WayForward said it was “actively pursuing” the 3DS Virtual Console release of Shantae. Although it’s taken awhile, the game should be out on the eShop soon.
Shantae has been submitted to the ESRB, so as soon as the title receives a rating, Nintendo will be able to place it on the digital store. The only change from the Game Boy color version is the removal of Capcom logos as the IP belongs to WayForward.
It sounds like the studio still has interest in the franchise and are mulling over its future.
