What is the steam Ultimate Edition?

[Prince Morrigan]

Honestly I don't have to write anything here, the title says it all.
so I will just waste your time while I hope for a good answer.

ugh finding wallpaper for the game is pretty tough. I mean I am sort of looking for offical art from wayforward, not saying that ans make good art I just want something offical ya know of erm rottyttops....ok shes my fave character.
Its odd, this game has a lot of cute girls that are rather appealing but the game is SO good you tend to forget that as you generally like the characters for actual reasons then just their looks, so when I say I want wallpaper of a character from the game it would be hard to explain to people why I have a ssxy zombie girl on my screen

I wonder if there is any baked goods based off of the game? Or if there will be a legit cartoon? I would not mind a web series.

I wonder if the Ultimate Edition is just the game with all the DLCs? Or will it be all the games in one bundle? IF so I wonder if the GBA one will be among them

The Ultimate Edition consists of Half-Genie Hero and all of its DLC, including the previously-exclusive Tinkerbat Transformation, Blue Shantae and Risky's Drifter Blade. (So you get the base game, Pirate Queen's Quest, Friends To The End, and the Costume Pack.)

Will the extras be made into seperate DLCs on their own? Cause I have every DLC and if I have to buy it all again I wont be a happy camper.

You do have to buy it again... who would have thought, add 3 items and sell the game again! I regret my day one purchase and waiting for the dlc to release so that I could play it.

Seems so. The logic is that it's all optional extra stuff that isn't required to beat the game and I imagine they want to push the whole idea of making the Backers feel like their backing was worth it or something but it punishes day one buyers or people who bought a 2nd copy elsewhere like myself.

I kind of regret getting the Steam version backed in hindsight haha, since all Backers got the Ultimate Edition on Steam as a bonus. I now have two copies of the same thing more or less on the same system. While the Switch copy I bought later gets shafted...

I feel it's also insulting that they treat it as a seperate item on the store. When other games like Divinity will just upgrade the base version and get rid of it. Make the Ultimate the new standard. Just feels cheap.

I think one of two things should happen

1. If a some one has the core game and all DLCs then they should be able to get or buy an upgrade, like another DLC yes but it would upgrade it into the ultimate edition.

2. Same as above only we just get it

While that's what I hope happens, it'll more likely that we'll just get shafted.

It's a shame too, since I really liked the game when I beat it the first time, but all of this kinda turns me off from buying a future shantae game (should they go with a crowdfunding development method again)

If there will be no upgrade option or an dlc to base game with missing content i will never support this studio again... Hey devs you should learn from Larian Studios and Team Cherry.

I agree to a point, I mean if the game is fun I will still play it, but I will feel bad doing it.
But knowing how they been doing thing I think there is a good chance of something good happening
