Shantae: Half-Genie Hero to Launch Digitally on December 20

Yesterday, XSEED Games announced that the retail edition of the crowd-funded and highly anticipated title, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, will launch on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita on December 20. This is the first full HD release of the title, and to celebrate, Wayforward unleashed a limited "Risky Beats" retail edition that features a musical selections CD containing 30 songs from the game's soundtrack. This edition will retail for $29.99. And if you're looking for a Wii U edition of the title, don't worry. The retail release for the Wii U version will be on December 27.

That being said, WayForward will launch Half-Genie Hero digitally on December 20 for the PlayStation 4 and Wii U, for $19.99 each.

For those interested in the story, according to the press release:

"Following three highly successful releases with Shantae, Shantae: Riskys Revenge, and Shantae and the Pirates Curse, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero reacquaints players with the cast of Shantae in full HD. The magical world of Sequin Land is more vibrant than ever with high-definition graphics that retain the charm of the original 2D hand-drawn sprites the series is known for. Shantae, the spirited young half-genie, must once again defend Scuttle Town as the pirate captain and self-proclaimed Queen of the Seven Seas, Risky Boots, plots to steal a newly discovered limitless source of power."
