Wayforward’s Shantae on the Game Boy Color was the swansong release on the handheld and the beginning of a franchise in the making. Now, Shantae has not only blossomed into a 5 (soon to be 6) game series, but can be widely considered Queen of the indie game scene. One particular stand out in this game franchise is the stellar music by Jake Kaufman which will easily get you whipping your hair back and forth! Join the XVGM Radio guys (Mike and Justin) as they uncover some of the best Shantae tunes across the current 5 games, talk about the lack of Kaufman’s tunes in the newest entry as well as Kaufman’s wide range of musical genres. Move those hips to the sultry Arabian style tunes that Shantae has become famous for and believe in magic…or…well, you’ll hear for yourself. It’s SHANTAE TUNES!
