    This is a good 2D action game with beautiful ha d drawn art. Glad I was able to pick up a Physical Edition on Switch. Shantae is a series more people should give a try, especially if you enjoy 2D retro or 2D indie games.

    As someone who pledged to the game's kickstarter, I was stuck with a digital copy, om the WiiU at that. I am so happy that we now have a physical release. On the Switch. Especially with the backer DLC!

    Although it took a little longer to get this item, it more than my expectations as well as the birthday boy's. I was surprised at how much was included in this game for the cost.
