WayForward has revealed the release date for the Wii U version of platformer Shantae and the Pirate's Curse.

The game will launch on Christmas Day, December 25th, for the reasonable price of $19.99. Unlike the 3DS version the Wii U version will include HD character portraits, which is a nice touch but I hope the sprites have also been upgraded.

Who plans on double dipping for Shantae?
