Shantae: All Games & DLC Ranked Worst To Best

Most of the time a video game franchises first entry is the weakest. It's normally the game where the developers are still working out the identity of the series and there's not an initial entry to build off of yet. Despite this, the first Shantae manages to be one of the best in the entire franchise.

For a start the game has one of the best worlds in the entire series, it's much bigger than most of the subsequent entries and has a focus on exploration that the likes of Seven Sirens and Risky's Revenge can only dream of.

The story is simple yet the characters are all here out of the gate just as charming as they are in every subsequent game. More importantly, the gameplay here is really fun, yeah it's built upon in later entries but it's still a good time here.

That's not even to mention the fact that this is one of, if not the best looking Game Boy Colour game ever made. Tell somebody who hasn't heard of the series that this is a Game Boy Advance title and they wouldn't question it.
