Limited Run Games’ not-E3 2020 presentation confirmed it would be working with WayForward on the Shantae Game Boy Color game. Literally, as it would have Shantae GBC and Switch cartridges on the way. They had a September 2020 pre-order window back then, and that’s now been narrowed down to September 11, 2020. People will have four weeks to place an order for each one, before Limited Run stops taking your money on October 9, 2020.

But, Limited Run Games also shared a GBC Collector’s Edition that gives people the game on an Atomic Purple cart with matching stand, its soundtrack, an acrylic standee of Shantae, a pin, a poster, and a reversible poster.
