What do you hope new fans or consumers will get out this particular version of the game?

I hope players will get a kick out of our bizarre sense of humor and appreciate core gameplay fundamentals, maybe fall in love with the characters too. But mostly, we're just happy to have a stage to entertain on.

I've read that WayForward often uses Shantae to demonstrate its abilities with new technology. We're all under the impression that this is a cohesive and whole game, but is Risky's Revenge iOS a sign that more is to come from the studio on this platform?

Yes, we've done that a lot in the past, and this is indeed a full product. I think with this title, we're officially on every popular platform out there. As to whether or not there's more to come? Probably. But rather than porting something akin to a $29.99 retail game, we'd more likely make something specific to iOS from the get go. Right now we're extremely jazzed to bring Shantae: Risky's Revenge to iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
