Basically, Shantae was WayForward's very first original IP. They've only made one other game besides the original and are using Kickstarter to keep something near and dear them going. These are the guys who made Double Dragon Neon, DuckTales: Remastered, Mighty Switch Force, and A Boy and His Blob. The video in the source link below contains a gameplay video! Source. Personally, I'm excited. WayForward has yet to let me down with a product. They make some great stuff using mindsets not unlike that of NES devs. They understand making the game part of games, and they make them fun. With Mighty Number 9 (click the jump in my sig!), this is a VERY ill-timed Kickstarter, but since the funding goals are so low, I think we'll at least see funding. This game is another example of a Kickstarter done right. Unfortunately, WayForward isn't that known. But they've presented that they did licensed work and, thus, already have the needed dev kits for consoles while using their own money to do A LOT of work. Thus, the funding is kept low. Great to see, really.
