Looks like Limited Run Games is going to be bringing both Shantae: Risky's Revenge and The Pirates Curse to PS4! Sign me up for both!

This is awesome and exactly what I was hoping they would do for Shantae. Now to track down the first game  ::)

I don't use Twitter, can't stand it. Does it happen to say if they are doing a PS Vita release?

Pending another announcement, no, there will not be physical Vita releases for either Shantae game. I really wish that Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse would physically come to Vita as I'm a huge Vita fan myself, but it is understandable why that most likely will not happen.

LimitedRunGames is not a developer, and they have no sway over developers to port all their games to all platforms. Although the Vita is more than capable of running both Shantae games with ease, Wayforward has not released either game on Vita.

That means there are no preexisting digital versions to get the physical upgrade that LimitedRunGames offers. In order for that to happen, Wayforward would first need to specifically put out Vita versions of Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse, and since the Vita is a hardcore gamer only platform, it doesn't have the audience numbers in order to financially justify specific development, especially considering at most, there would be something like 4000 copies produced. That's a tiny drop in the bucket.

Then again, WayForward is awesome. Always has been. Who knows? Despite it not making much sense, there just might be physical Vita versions. If that should happen, then I'll be supporting them every step of the way with not only buying them both physically, but also digitally, and encouraging others to buy the Vita version as well.

But even if they don't come to Vita, I'll still be buying them for PS4. Shantae has been one of my favorite characters since I bougtht the original game back in 2002.

I believe that is the new Shantae game though, not the originals that have come out digitally only over the last few years.

Right. None of those amazon listings have anything to do with what I said.

There are four Shantae games:

Shantae
Shantae Risky's Revenge
Shantae & The Pirate's Curse
Shantae Half Genie Hero



Pirate's Curse found a publisher willing to put out a physical 3DS version several years after it first became available on the eshop.
Half Genie Hero is a brand new game that Wayforward is developing for PlayStation 4, WiiU and Vita. This game was a kickstarter, with the Vita version being a successful stretch goal. 

Last spring and summer, Wayforward put Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse on the PS4 PSN. What LimitedRunGames is doing is producing PS4 physical versions of the PS4 versions of Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse.

There is no [current] Vita version of either Risky's Revenge or Pirate's Curse, and there will not be a 3DS version of Half Genie Hero.
As a result, LimitedRunGames won't be producing physical Vita versions of Risky's Revenge or Pirate's Curse without Wayforward first developing them. The fact that there's a Vita Shantae on amazon you can preorder has nothing at all to do with what I was saying about Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse getting physical Vita versions via LimitedRunGames.

I ended up only ordering Thomas was Alone for the PS4.  I'm not into these enough to order everything, but this game looked like it would be enjoyable for me, and I'm hoping to have a PS4 before the end of the year.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."
