    Awesome game, awesome price when in stock for a limited time, hard to find but worth the buy. Has a fun atmosphere and a good challenge.

    Missed the pre-orders through Limited Run's site but thankfully it was still available at Best Buy. Made me and my partner very happy.

    So happy that Best Buy is carrying this title after I missed out on some of the other shantae limited run titles. Great game.

    Limited run puts out a quality product every time. I love the number system. Will purchase other limited run games.

    Just seems to get worse and worse

    Disclaimer: now this is just my opinion, so it might be garbage to any one reading who disagrees. The physical copy is nice, it comes with a manual and the cartridge, so you can lend it to friends or resell in the future for more than you paid here. Not a very solid game in my opinion. I think the quality went down after Pirate's Curse. The story is garbage, and gameplay so-so. It's nice they tried to put in on cutscenes and such, and it definitely feels like an indie game (imperfects and all). Sometimes feels glitchy when playing. Compared to Pirate's Curse, this game falls short to me. The main reason why I have this game is because I bought Pirate's Curse at LRG a long time ago, so I am just completing the Shantae switch collection at this point.

    Another fantastic game. LRG sold out, so bestbuy is the only retailer to buy from to get a physical game.
