Still have my Wii U version of this sealed, and own it digital on X1 but it coming w/ all the extra good stuff could push me to buy again if it isn't priced too high.

I have the PS4 version since I managed to score the Limited Run Games physical releases of Shantae Risky's Revenge and Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. I traded my Wii U digital key for someone's PS Vita digital key which is a bummer as my Vita died and I don't plan to get a new one anytime soon so having this on Switch and more up to date is a plus for me so I'll buy it.

Oh, okay. So they're basically packaging all of the Kickstarter stretch campaigns and content into a bundle. That's pretty cool. It's not anything they weren't already going to make for the vanilla edition, though. Last I heard, they were working on getting the costume swap working, and would be moving on to the Sky, Bolo, and Rotty campaigns next. I might double dip on this, though, depending on the price and if it gets the same loving treatment as Axiom Verge Multiverse Edition. 

 

EDIT: Oh, I see. Friends Mode is all one campaign.
