Trivia / Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution

• Saved from Development Hell: The story goes that development on Risky Revolution started in 2002 and lasted through 2004 to the point where a fully functional demo was completed, but because of poor sales of Shantae (2002), WayForward was unable to find a publisher willing to launch the game as originally intended, causing them to archive the project and carry forward some elements to the development of Risky's Revenge. Although WayForward showed footage of the completed demo, the game continued to stay vaulted until 2023, when the original team decided to complete development of the game and release it as a passion project.
• Sequel Gap: Comes out five years after Seven Sirens.
