==Transcript==
(At Sequin Land in Scuttle Town, Shantae and her friends are chilling at Mimic's workshop as Shantae can be seen playing Shantae NAB! on her Nintendo DS while the Tinkerbats mind their own business working on inventions)
*Shantae: Come on. Let me beat the level so I can go to lunch.
*Bolo: How long have you been playing that game for?
*Shantae: It been two hours since I started playing Shantae NAB!
*Bolo: Two hours?! Darn, you have been staring at this device, jumping back and forth on the trees for two hours over a minigame.
*Shantae: That's how the game is made. Just like with any regular game in the 80s.
*Sky: Why can't they make a game about us? That would be cool. Flying on birds and gliding to reach to the loops. That idea would be as charming as riding on planes, right Wrench?
*Wrench: Caw!
*Rottytops: You love this monkey jumping game, right?
*Shantae: Yes. It's Shantae NAB! I'm in the game and I'm the monkey.
*Risky Boots: It would been a decade if they ever made a game about me despite the story mode in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero! *slam her sword* I am still mad that I didn't get to rule over the seven seas yet.
*Mimic: There is some time to dream about being the star of your own game. Patience take time.
*Risky Boots: I do not need patience for my own time. Ugh!
*Mimic: You're not going to get what you wished for in real-life, Risky Boots.
*Shantae: Life is just life. You can't be ruling the seven seas on the same story and genre over and over again.
*Tinkerbat #1: I made a pencil.
*Tinkerbat #2: A new toaster is fully done! *see a toaster done* It still works.
*Tinkerbat #3: I would be down if a new yo-yo was ever constructed.
*Risky Boots: In you dreams, Tinkerbat. Never going to get rid that easy for a kids' toy over a yarn string toy.
*Scuttlebutt: *show up* I'm here you guys!
*Shantae: Mayor Scuttlebutt?
*Mimic: Oh, hello there, mayor. Come on in. Don't be shy. You got some news to offer on our behalf?
*Scuttlebutt: Yes. Breaking news! The long-lost Shantae game is finally coming to Game Boy Advance after years of being cancelled.
*Shantae: Wait, what?! I'm getting a new game?!
*Bolo: WayForward Technologies is releasing a unreleased Shantae game after 20 years.
*Sky: I thought the new games we got started with Risky's Revenge.
*Risky Boots: For crying out loud, it's chronologically set between the first and second games and that game is suppose to come out before the second as the second came out instead and the new one which is the unreleased game came out last!
*Rottytops: So is the new game set between, during, after, or before Risky's Revenge?
*Scuttlebutt: Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution is set between the first and second Shantae games and you're correct. The game was suppose to come out in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance after the company failed to find a publisher at that time. They ended up releasing it for Limited Run Games as the publisher instead on Game Boy Advance cartridges for next year.
*Shantae: Cool. Everyone who still own a Game Boy Advance will be able to purchase a copy of the new game and play it on the small screen like they did with their own GBA games.
*Bolo: What if the game comes out on other systems? That would be great for everyone else to try the game for a different audience.
*Tinkerbat #1: I still have a DS.
*Tinkerbat #2: A 3DS.
*Tinkerbat #3: And a Wii U.
*Mimic: Perhaps, we should watch the trailer for what the game look like.
*Scuttlebutt: It was announced on LRG3. Let's go take a look, shall we?
*Shantae: Here we go.
*Scuttlebutt: It's showtime. *use the laptop to play the video of the trailer for Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution*
(Shantae and her friends watch the trailer announcement for Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution as the gang is impressed on how the game turn out as watching behind the scenes and footage of the game)
*Shantae: Wow. It look incredible!
*Bolo: Charming and a classic.
*Sky: Take me back to the good old days where handheld gaming is a hit.
*Wrench: Caw!
*Rottytops: We're back in the Metroidvania style!
*Risky Boots: This take me back to the roots on how the sprites used to look like in 16-bit. *laugh*
*Tinkerbat #1: Expressive.
*Tinkerbat #2: Amazing and fun.
*Tinkerbat #3: I really wanna play this game right now!
*Mimic: This is like one of the greatest trailers we ever seen.
*Scuttlebutt: I am so happy that this new Shantae game is coming!
*Shantae: Who can switch lands as in a continental drift with the Tremor Engine?
*Bolo: It got a multiplayer battle. But you have to connect the GBAs to play like in the DS?
*Sky: Should have been a DS game at first, right Wrench?
*Wrench: Caw!
*Rottytops: This is going to make a good game for the audience.
*Risky Boots: Classic feels, same thrills. I should be back on conquering Sequin Land by the time the game comes out. Har har har! *evil laugh*
*Tinkerbat #1: For the seven seas!
*Tinkerbat #2: We will rule the world together.
*Tinkerbat #3: Never more the hunger.
*Shantae: You aren't being serious, right Risky Boots?
*Risky Boots: You'll never face me again when I have the chance of ruling the whole world under our reign.
*Shantae: You're taking it too far now. Are you?
*Risky Boots: Won't be until next year when I got the chance to shine again.
*Mimic: We all got our GBAs together and we can chill out and play.
*Scuttlebutt: At your service. Thank you WayForward and Limited Run Games for releasing the long lost Shantae game after years.
*Mimic: They are really welcome.
*Shantae: And proud of finishing it without upsetting fans. *wink eye*
THE END
SHANTAE ADVANCE: RISKY REVOLUTION
COMING IN 2024
(Squid Baron interrupts the story in a black screen, begging for his own spin-off game to come out)
*Squid Baron: What the squid? Shantae's unreleased game come back and I didn't get a new game too? This is bullocks! I wanted a spin-off game for years since I always wanted to be the star of my own game. Never mind. I will make an appearance in Risky Revolution or I'll riot! No Squid Baron appearance with filler boss, no game buy. I'm begging ya WayForward. Make a Squid Baron spin-off game! I deserve the spotlight! *leave* And I mean it, for real! *head out off-screen*
THE REAL END
Make a Squid Baron spin-off game. We dare you.
==Trivia==
