Matt answers Zach s burning questions about Shantae s humble GBC origins.
Today, the original GBC Shantae game gets a long-awaited re-release on the Switch. I just posted my review of the plucky heroine s maiden adventure, and I was lucky enough to get an opportunity to bother Matt Bozon, the Shantae series director and WayForward s creative director, with some questions about that landmark game. Thanks to Matt, of course, for entertaining my fanboy ramblings; it s always a pleasure.
Zach Miller (ZM): Could you talk about Shantae s origin story? Where do she and her charismatic castmates come from, and how was that original GBC game made? It s quite a technical feat for the GBC.
