    Love when Best Buy releases these limited run games. This is a fun game and highly collectible. Enjoyed the game play and you should check out the other games from this line.

    Great title. Retro style action. Shantae has been remade for the switch on a physical copy. One of the best platform games ever made. Both kids had fun with this title.

    The original that spraked the cult classic series finally brought back in physical form to the Nintendo Switch. If you love platformers and metroidvanias, give it a play.

    Beautiful remake of the gameboy color version. Best alternative and affordable way to play this title rather than hunting down a gameboy color copy for $600. A must have

    Shantae titles are the best platforming games ever made especially this first title that came on the Gameboy Color. Definitely give this a go!

    The game that’s a good Metroid Vania on the GBC and now on the Switch with a more “affordable” price is a high recommendation.
