Already controversially available on GBA – where manufacturers Limited Run Games and Retro-Bit Gaming have been criticised for using recycled cartridge components – Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution will belly dance to PS5 and PS4 later this summer.

For those of you who don’t know, this game was originally in development all the way back in 2002, when a GBA demo was made and pitched to publishers. But after poor sales of the GBC version caused companies to pass on the project, WayForward eventually shelved the project, until it was resurrected in 2023.

As mentioned, you can already buy GBA cartridges, but the home console conversion will follow imminently. Expect retro-style puzzle platforming, chunky sprite visuals, and even a four-player Battle Mode. You can also choose between classic and modern UIs, but we’re not sure why you’d pick the latter.

We’re rather fond of the Shantae games, and this particular title has such an interesting story that it’s whipped its way onto our radar. But are you down for another Arabian adventure? Expose your midriff in the comments section below.
