So, for those who have played all of the Shantae games, where does this one rank? I have only played a little bit of the original one, I haven't played any of the ones since the revival of the franchise.

1. The Pirate's Curse - 7.5/10 (I am not sure if I'd give it a 7 or 8 in my new Biased Review scale, so 7.5 will have to do)
2. Half Genie Hero - 7/10
3. Risky's Revenge - 6/10
4. Shantae - 4/10

The original game suffers from a combination of overambition and GBC hardware capabilities. They wanted to have big sprites, but the tradeoff is that the visible area of play is so small that platforming comes with lots of leaps of faith.

Thanks for your input, I wasn't sure if anyone here had played all 4 of them.

If one likes Half Genie Hero they should try all the games that came before. The graphics and animations are a step down compared to Half Genie Hero but I ended up liking Pirate's Curse more than this.

I've played most of them and loved every one that has come out.

All Shantae games are good. A very underrated series.

straight fax no printer! (its from a song for those who don't know)

seriously though, i started 1/2 genie few days ago, and truly enjoy everything about it so far. I liked pirates curse alot, and think this is even better already.

I own all four but, as I often do, I buy a game and never play it. I played a few minutes if the first (on 3DS) and second (again, on 3DS) but couldn't figure out where to go. I bought the third yesterday because of the eShop E3 sale but only because I was having such a great time with the 4th! Can't wait to go back and play them.
