WayForward, the company responsible for the Game Boy Color title Shantae, may bring the young genie to the Wii. Voldi Way, the founder of WayForward said in an interview that the plan is to bring a new Shantae game to the Wii, following the WiiWare route. Matt Bozon, Creative Director of the girl-genie platformer said back in May 2007:

“…We’ve started to update her design in anticipation of something on Wii, maybe Risky Waters or something similar.”

Shantae’s only appearance was on the Game Boy Color, and a Game Boy Advance Sequel was in development but was eventually scrapped. However, it seems that she will soon make a return.
