Wow an indie game going for 40 dollars physical release. I think we have ourselves a winner.  You can blurp out the few third parties and indie developers but it won't really happen till holiday season.  I'm still looking for 90s Arcade Racer on Wii U.

Who made this divine law indies can't charge $40 or even $60?  Who gives a single crap who made the game, if it's worth $40, it's worth $40.

Its definitely worth it if you like it. Endless replayability.

Bomberman, FAST, Snake pass and Master Blaster have done great. Not sure how Lego city performed although i heard it was the best selling version in the UK. I think Street Fighter will probably do ok as well.

Blaster Master is an NES game that just returned to Switch.

Master Blaster runs Barter Town. 

 

Know the difference!

Fast RMX, Shovel Knight, Bomberman all seem to be doing well.

There have yet to really be any big third party releases (or even middling sized releases by third parties) on the Switch so hard to say at this point. But  based on the fact that even the Neo Geo ports seem to have plenty of people buying them, I think the third parties involved wiill be happy so far with the small games they've put on there

I don't really count Lego City Undercover because it a Wii U game. 

will be more interesting when a bigger third party IP is on the Switch; i.e. a Monster Hunter or Yokai Watch or Resident Evil or something

It's worth what people are willing to pay, sure, but is Binding Of Isaac really $40 on the Switch? I paid 5 fucking dollars for it on the Vita over 2 years ago. The current PS store price is $14.99 for the PS4 and Vita.

- $14.99 is the Canadian PS Store price. It's $50 on the Switch in Canada. I realize it's not the same game as the PSN version, but still. Ouch.

About the same or worse than with the Wii U.

And the extra content justifies such a massive price hike?

Hard to say, though bomberman did well, so that's good

Maybe not, but it shows that there is interest in third party content. Like with a 50 dollar bomberman.

Kinda pisses me off. Street Fighter, for example. I got it for like ten bucks on Xbox and even less on PS3. They're tossing in two "new" characters--and I already despise Ken and Ryu--and charging almost as much as a brand new 2017 release.
