Last year we were already entertained with the Nintendo Switch version of Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, however not everyone was talking about the way you made progress in the game. Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse has a typical ‘metroidvania’-like gameplay style, instead of a focus on levels like Shantae: Half-Genie Hero has.

If you have not played Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse yet, you can now also purchase it for Nintendo Switch.
