Hashtag ‘Original Shantae’ goes trending on Twitter, as gamers try the new ‘Nintendo Switch’
Shantae is a video game by WayForward where the girl character Shantae fights to protect her home of Sequin Land.
She uses her hair containing super powers to whip the enemies, sending energy storm in the form of clouds in their way.
Due to the overwhelming response garnered by the game, it was relaunched as ‘Shantae: Risky’s Revenge’, a sequel to ‘Shantae’ released on 3DS.
WayForward had taken to Twitter to post the announcement of the game relaunch with a short video saying, “The original Shantae is (almost) back! Experience Shantae’s original GBC adventure in all its hair-whipping, belly-dancing, shape-shifting glory when it lands in the Nintendo Switch eShop on April 22!”
It has already been a couple of weeks since the first launch of Shantae on Switch and WayForward has announced a giveaway on Twitter to honour the fans due to the amazing response it received.
It's been two weeks since the launch of the first Shantae on Switch! To celebrate, we're giving away some merch: a Shantae Charagumin model and five Shantae keychains (6 winners total)! To enter: follow, retweet, and reply with #OriginalShantae. Ends today, May 6, at 6PM Pacific. pic.twitter.com/jfrjoljYHp

Everyone knows Shantae's monkey form, right? It's been around since her very first adventure, and in addition to letting her climb walls, it can be upgraded with attack capabilities when you get the Monkey Claw! The original Shantae is out now on Switch! https://t.co/qmIkMdhYKC pic.twitter.com/5gHcdQr6Em
