    Must have on the switch as i feel it plays better than on the PS4. Have to understand it’s portability is what wins it for me on the switch.

    This version comes with all previous DLC that was not included with the Wii U version. It's a good, short, fun game but manage expectations...

    I was walking around Best Buy when I saw this game. I am not really a Shantae fan, but did play the game on a friend´s 3DS and felt it was OK: And looking at this special edition for the Switch was a no brainer for me to get! Specially with that price! Sadly, well it would had never crossed me to open the box at the store, as i opened it some days later at home when I finally had the time to play it, and to my surprise, there was not physical game. At first I was under the idea there was a download code, but nothing; it did mention that it had free DLC and believed the code included that and the game, but no game nor DLC was included, and there was a space big enough to fit the game case. It did include the art book and the soundtrack, which to date remains unopened as not sure what to do in this situation. I went to report this at Best Buy´s forums and no reply so far, to see if someone else got through it as maybe it was an error from the sellers. My guess is that Best Buy does not accept back the case, as it is opened and there is no way to prove that the game itself was not included in the box. The art book had no foil cover which the soundtrack does not have and I do not plan to tear open it until I get some special message. Would it be worth it to buy this special edition again? But this time open it at the store? Or buy the game itself in standard edition but miss the free DLC content. Not sure if this review might help. Thanks.
