Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution first began development all the way back in 2002, just before the release of the first Shantae game on Game Boy Color. However, this next installment was canceled in 2004. Unfortunately, the Metroidvania wasn't too popular at the time, having only amassed a cult following years after its first release. Now, though, with the Shantae series amassing much popularity, the time feels right to bring its lost game to light.
