Curse of the Sea Rats [Black Flag Edition]
Nintendo Switch · 2023
About this game
Having barely escaped LeChuck's dreadful amusement park, Guybrush Threepwood finds himself stuck in the middle of the sea, with nothing in his boat but a sausage and a diary.
Musing over the events that have led him into this predicament, Guybrush suddenly discovers a ship navigated by none other than his archenemy.

Once again, Guybrush saves his beloved Elaine from the claws of his undead rival.
In the midst of the treasure that belonged to the defeated foe Guybrush finds a ring.
Overwhelmed by his love to Elaine, he proposes marriage to her and gives her the ring.
What he doesn't know is that the ring is cursed; before he is able to realize what is happening, Elaine is turned into a gold statue.
Will Guybrush be able to lift the curse and to save his one and only love? This third installment of the Monkey Island is, like its predecessors, a humorous puzzle-solving adventure game.
The game features cartoon-style SVGA graphics and (for the first time in the series) voice-overs for all the conversations.
The interface no longer involves a list of verbs that occupies a part of the screen; instead, it follows the same principle as in Full Throttle : the player chooses first the object to interact with, then the action from a menu that appears.
Like the second game , The Curse of Monkey Island has two difficulty levels.
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Curse of the Sea Rats [Black Flag Edition] for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Curse of the Sea Rats [Black Flag Edition] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2023.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Curse of the Sea Rats [Black Flag Edition], suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Switch titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
