A new Shantae for DSiWare was announced and Nintendo Power teases with the first details and screens!

Nintendo revealed the existence of Shantae:Risky's Revenge in its holiday release list and Nintendo Power got the first intel and screens. While the first game for Game Boy Color was a bit low profile, it's a fantastic platformer and one that more people should have played.

Shantae is a half-genie that asides from jumping around and whipping enemies with her hair can learn various dances to transform into different animals allowing her to reach places she couldn't reach before, not unlike Metroid or Castlevania.

Developed by WayForward Technologies, Shantae:Risky's Revenge will be the first of 3 episodes released on DSiWare and will be launched later this year. Meanwhile, you can check out the gorgeous first screens and artwork on Nintendo Power's preview page by clicking here.
