Integrow is partnering with WayForward for the release in Japan. Your move Sakurai...

But in all seriousness, really excited the Japanese market gets a better option to enjoy this!

EDIT: forgot to change it to Nintendo discussion

Link to the site. The site itself looks kinda small. http://game.intergrow.jp/shantae-pirates-curse/

Hmm, maybe if it sells well enough they could also bring a retail version to the west? How popular is Shantae in Japan?

Looking at the info available, can't say for sure. In fact this looks like its only recently being introduced to the market. The fanboy in me thinks it will do 1 million+. Honestly, as long as it gets its name out effectively, I think it will do well 

Good news, this is really on the best indie games on console of the generation imo, really good, I hope the physical version sells fine there.

idk. I doubt they'd do a physical partnership with such  a low amount, especially considering it has done well digitally
