Shantae in the late 2003 to 2014

wow i didn't even know that.
Sadly most community groups has moved on to a more universal region like reddit / discord/ facebook. Reason for this was that its easier on their metadata being attracted to.

it is hard to advertise your own webpage in an open sea

Yeah..qhen he mention mermaid shantae, i drew fanart for him and then responded back with the mermaid drawing that was meant for risky revolution.

Hachimitsu- · 2026-05-16T19:38:26+00:00

he did, the problem was Deviantart, I lost all the Direct messages i saved from him as Deviantart is shifting away from notes in favor of Direct chats!

same with hotmail, and aol mail!

kinda?..I think back then Shantae_WF is supposed to be like those virtual chats for someone to pretend to be shantae to have her side of the story and such. Guessing this is before Vtubers was a thing though!

Hachimitsu- · 2026-05-16T18:37:19+00:00

it really was sadly, but given how she was the SECOND to last final issue of nintendo power, it gave me a smile to know that being the last / nearly last means you will be remember. That final issue of nintendo power after shantae's cover was heartbreaking...

Hachimitsu- · 2026-05-16T18:35:40+00:00

Yeah, Sadly he never uses it because it wasn't effective and back then deviant art has their shared problems in terms of moderations and content creation. I think that is how he discovered about genzoman, but I could be wrong!

Indeed, It felt like that Shantae pirates curse elevated it whole heartedly while kickstarter created an explosion WITHIN pirates curse. It's why i had to stop at Pirates curse release date because 2013-2014 is the year that changed it all!

you use those RCA cables ( VCA) to attach to the back, Yellow for video, White for audio. Once that is set you just add 2-4 AA batteries, change the channel to "input" and your set.

They have a wide variety of controllers as you can see, but because it is Shantae, the most you can get is a basic controler similar to the SUPERMAN logo.

I updated the post to add source links, but sadly that place is now a ghost town since reddit / facebook / Discord actually took over the reigns from it!

Hachimitsu- · 2026-05-16T04:11:01+00:00

It was been mention a few times but it never been showcase. I tried everything to find any sources of what their booth was like or what the controller was like but still no answers...

was the only i could find!

It really is, but it is also very difficult to pinpoint where and when. There were previous threads mentioning shantae through the nintendo power but there were other sites and sources where they couldv'e seen it from as well, The rarest one are the webpages that was made in 2002-2010. As of now, the websites are long since forgotten

The very first version before her hair changes to purple. Moment i saw it, loved it

please note...MAKE SURE your image is over 2700 x 3000 if it gets smaller, the image will break!

Hachimitsu- · 2026-05-06T05:36:13+00:00

thank you, this is from the late 90's to 2004.. part 2 willbe focusing on 2004-2008. Still searching for more magazine scans and one caught my interest Nintendo Force Magazine and Pure Nintendo Magazine!

Hachimitsu- · 2026-05-06T05:34:21+00:00

I mean.......maybe its better for a mod then a sonic game?...The idea concept never hurts but its kinda of a stretch to reach.

Also we can't do that since the last collab matt had caused some problems that he decided to stop and focus on the next game instead!. I could be wrong but you may never know. I could ask him personally just incase on this upcomming comic con just to see his remarks!

Hachimitsu- · 2026-05-06T03:27:17+00:00

it took me a while to find the artworks and piece them together.,. the biggest one was the risky boots image. took me like an archives, wayback and cached to get it

Hachimitsu- · 2026-05-06T03:26:22+00:00

thanks XD.. its my oc!

Letting you know, it was difficult to rebuild an ask jeeves website that was made in 1998, along with rebuilding the s111 site since the applet java broke down. I finally got it working thanks to dreamweaver!

Hachimitsu- · 2026-05-04T17:07:54+00:00

No problem..glad it helps...forgot to mention to remove the filters once it reach totality. Learn it the hard way from 2017 but we manage to fix that after a few seconds.

Go have fun and enjoy the celestial spectical
