About this game
Hollow Knight is a Metroidvania action-adventure game that combines exploration and combat within a dark, insect-infested subterranean world.
Players control a silent, insectoid warrior descending into the ruins of Hallownest - a fallen kingdom decimated by a supernatural infection - unraveling lore through exploration, acquiring abilities, and facing formidable bosses.

Players navigate interconnected regions of Hallownest via precision platforming and fluid combat using a melee "Nail" and magical spells.
The game features deep systems like Soul-powered healing and magic, the equipping of Charms for abilities customization, and an organic map-discovery process tied to in-world mapmakers and benches as save points.
Fast travel is enabled through stag stations and other unlockable modes.
Developed by the independent studio Team Cherry, it debuted on February 2017.
Later relaunched as Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition in September 2018, which bundles all four free content expansions - Hidden Dreams, The Grimm Troupe, Lifeblood, and Godmaster - while also offering tuning and bug fixes, a refined menu style, and balance adjustments to the challenging Godmaster content.
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 Hollow Knight 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 Hollow Knight 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 2017.
