    Classic Shantae on Modern Hardware

    Never played the original Shantae so I decided to pickup this copy at Best Buy. The music, the sprite artwork and the level designs are all good fun. The game has definitely aged a but and the controls feel a but stiff at times, but it is solid fun if you are lookimg for some side scrolling retro fun!

    The Half-Genie Classic That Started It All. A+

    The original Shantae on PlayStation 5 is a delightful piece of gaming history brought back to life by WayForward and Limited Run Games' Carbon Engine. Originally released on the Game Boy Color in 2002, this 8-bit action-platformer still charms with its colorful sprites, catchy chiptune soundtrack, and the signature hair-whipping, belly-dancing, shape-shifting gameplay that launched an entire franchise. As Shantae, guardian of Scuttle Town, you'll explore Sequin Land, battle the pirate Risky Boots, collect elemental stones, and transform into various creatures to reach new areas — classic Metroidvania design executed brilliantly for the handheld era. The PS5 port doesn't just dump the old game onto a modern console; it thoughtfully includes two modes — the faithful GBC Original mode and the Extended mode that unlocks the Game Boy Advance enhancements like an extra transformation and alternate color palette. Add in quality-of-life features like save states, visual filters, and a bonus mini art gallery, and you get a well-rounded package for just $9.99. The controls understandably feel a bit stiff compared to Shantae's later adventures, and some of the difficulty spikes and backtracking might test the patience of modern players accustomed to tighter design. But those are minor quibbles for a game that laid the foundation for one of indie gaming's most beloved series. Whether you're a longtime fan completing your PlayStation Shantae collection or a newcomer curious about where it all began, this is a lovingly preserved classic that deserves a spot on your PS5. Cross-Buy with PS4 is a fantastic bonus too!

    Shantae

    This is a great game. I was surprised i was able to buy a Limited Run game through Best Buy. I didnt know they sometimes sold through Best Buy. Best Buy has been pretty decent at shipping.

Terranigma - PlayStation 5

Thematic boldness. Stunning character design. Excellent music. Smooth gameplay. Terranigma had it all... except a modern re-release. Now, the beloved action JRPG classic is back for the first time since 1995! The Earth is a hollow sphere with two sides: an external Lightside and an internal Darkside. In the Darkside village of Crysta, the mischievous Ark lives unaware of the world beyond. But one day, he opens a forbidden door and sets in motion events that will change the world. For decades, Terranigma has captivated players with its emotional story and transformative journey. Now you can (re)experience its magic yourself! In 1995, the two-dimensional Japanese role-playing genre was at its absolute peak, but even among the beloved giants of the 16-bit era, Terranigma stands out with its unique world-building, snappy combat, enchanting soundtrack, and stunning graphics. It is truly a masterpiece, yet despite this, the game has never been re-released. Until now.
