5 of a possible 5 points across 3 established inputs. This is a score over documented publisher behaviour, not a forecast. How the rubric works.
Basis: a reprint of this specific title is documented, so the rating rests on what the publisher did with this game, not on general reputation.

| Evidence The same game was reprinted by LRG in 2024 as its final US 3DS release, at $34.99 standard and $64.99 Collector's Edition. The reprint was a 3DS edition, not this Switch edition. | ||

Where to find a copy, and what copies have sold for
We publish no sold prices, because we hold no licence for sold-price data. What we can do is point you at the listings:
- Copies of Shantae and the Pirate's Curse listed on eBay →
A live search across every eBay seller, newest listings first. Availability and condition vary, so check the listing before you bid. - Sold listings for Shantae and the Pirate's Curse on eBay →
eBay requires you to be signed in to see sold results, and sold history only covers roughly the last 90 days.
Both are ordinary outbound links. No affiliate code is attached to either, no listing data is copied onto this page, and no price is shown because none is licensed.
Notes
The clearest reprint case in the seed set. LRG reprinted this game in 2024 as its final US 3DS release, at $34.99 standard and $64.99 Collector's Edition; pre-orders opened 26 Jan 2024. That reprint price is not this 2018 Switch edition's launch price, and the original Switch launch price was not confirmed, so the field is blank.
