You can pre-order the standard game for the PS4, Xbox, One, and Nintendo Switch on Amazon for $29.99. However, Best Buy is offering retro editions for the Nintendo Switch that include an exclusive poster, retro-style manual, and box / clamshell packaging in the style of the SNES and Sega Genesis. You can pre-order the clamshell version here for $49.99. The box version is available here for the same price. Both are expected to arrive by December 10th.
However, if you want to take the retro vibe even further, keep in mind that iam8bit is selling limited edition (4500 units) legacy cartridges for the SNES and Genesis with fancy cases, artwork, packaging, and other “retro pack-in surprises”.
