3D game, please!
They've done all the can with the 2D Metroidvania formula.

That, or a Shantae fighting game spin off, since Shantae got basically booted from Smash in favor of some generic martial arts douchebag.
Agreed. If this is yet another 2D Metroidvania, count me out. Shantae ain't even that great a series to begin with, imo. I always found it just ok.
Yay! ^^
