One day, she is approached by her arch-nemesis Risky Boots, who informs her that after her powers were stolen, they were shattered into 30 shards.

The shards eventually fused with Risky's minions, the Tinkerbats, and they grew super-powerful and ambitious, overthrowing the pirate queen.

They are now on a mission to resurrect Risky's old mentor, the Pirate Master, spelling doom for Sequin Land.

Shantae reluctantly teams up with the lady pirate to help her regain control of her crew, as well as get her genie powers back and save Sequin Land.

The game is set on a "Metroidvania"-style map, making gameplay less linear than previous entries in the Shantae series.

Because Shantae no longer has any powers, she can no longer transform via belly dances.

However, she can still use her hair as a whip, and in place of her powers, pirate weapons and tools are available.

This includes weapons such as a pistol, scimitar, and cannon, as well as a Pirate Hat that can be used to glide, and Risky's Boots, which allow Shantae to run at super speeds.

The Nintendo 3DS version of the game features steroscopic 3D graphics in the vein of Mighty Switch Force! , and the Wii U version features HD graphics in the vein of Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition .

About Nintendo Wii U

The Wii U (2012) was commercially Nintendo's least successful home console, hampered by market confusion over whether the GamePad tablet controller was a new device or a Wii accessory. Its low sales mean smaller overall print runs across the board, and several first-party and indie darlings have already become noticeably pricier than their commercial performance would suggest, since there are simply fewer copies in circulation.

Gamevaro tracks Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut for Nintendo Wii U with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WIU release dates back to 2014.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
