Shantae is a platform game for the Game Boy Color featuring a half-human-half-genie called Shantae. The game was released towards the end of the GBC’s life (after the release of the Game Boy Advance) but recieved positive reviews and acclaim.
Despite this, the game sold poorly and as a result, there aren’t a great many copies in the wild, and the game can fetch stupid money on eBay.
Luckily, fans are now able to buy the game again, as Limited Run Games are not only releasing a physical version of the game for the Switch, but also Game Boy Color.
Pre-orders start this Friday (11th September 2020) at the Limited Run Games website.
