Shantae - Game Boy Color (French Edition)
A complete French fan-translation of the cult Game Boy Color platformer, with in-game text and box fully localized into French. Originally developed by WayForward Technologies and published by Capcom in 2002, Shantae arrived late in the console's life (just as the Game Boy Advance took over) and has since become a highly sought-after, rare collector's title praised for its colorful art direction, fluid gameplay and unique mechanics.
Story: You play as Shantae, a half-genie and the self-appointed guardian of the peaceful fishing village of Scuttle Town. When the fearsome pirate Risky Boots attacks, Shantae sets off on an epic adventure across Sequin Land to stop her.
Gameplay: Explore and platform using Shantae's magical hair as a whip, and learn belly-dance moves that transform her into different creatures (monkey, elephant, spider, harpy) to reach hidden secrets and unlock new abilities.
Main characters: Shantae (the brave half-genie heroine), Risky Boots (the charismatic pirate villain), the Tinkerbats (Risky's silent minions), Mimic (Shantae's uncle and mentor), Bolo (her clumsy but loyal companion), Sky (her best friend and war-bird expert), and Rottytops (a mischievous zombie).
A retro gem and a perfect pick for collectors and fans of quality platformers, especially in this French-language edition.
