About this game

Return to Monkey Island is a point-and-click adventure and a direct sequel to Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (1991).

It has the original creator Ron Gilbert back at the helm and picks up directly after the events of that game.

However, it also incorporates and acknowledges the characters and events from later titles such as The Curse of Monkey Island (1997), Escape from Monkey Island (2000) and Tales of Monkey Island (2009).

This game focuses on the series' protagonist Guybrush Threepwood as he sets out to finally reveal the secret of the Monkey Island.

A short prelude explains the ending of the previous game, why this title is told as a flashback and an optional scrapbook available in the main menu is provided with a brief history of the events of all games.

The adventure is divided in several parts and starts on Mêlée Island where Guybrush, reprised by Dominic Amato , once again finds himself without a ship and crew to travel to Monkey Island.

Mêlée island has also changed, with Carla the swordmaster as the new governor, Elaine advocating social and health issues, and a new pirate leadership refusing to fund Guybrush's venture.

Many characters from all titles return in this game, such as Stan the salesman, Otis, Wally the map maker, the Voodoo Lady and Murray the talking skull, but also many new characters.

Next to the familiar Monkey Island and Mêlée Island there are entirely new locations such as Brr Muda and Terror Island.

A classic point-and-click interface is used to experience the story, talk to characters and solve puzzles.

When hovering over a character or object, usually one or two options are provided: to examine and to interact.

Items can be picked up and are stored in an inventory where they can be combined or used in the environment.

There is also a todo list as an inventory item where quests are tracked.

A separate action is available to highlight all hotspots in the environment.

The game can be played in an easy Casual mode or the Hard more with

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 Return to Monkey Island [Collector's 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 Return to Monkey Island [Collector's 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.
