And the extra content justifies such a massive price hike?

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

Yeah, I mean what can I say?  Those games seem to be doing OK. For some though, that's too much. I just bought X-Com 2 for $39.99 and Mirror's Edge 2 for $15.99. The value proposition for Isaac for $50 seems thin by comparison next to the wall of games I had to choose from that were $50 or less. Too much for an indie IMO, but no big whoop. If they can kill it with sales, more power to them.

Between the digital games and the ones with physical releases, how do you think 3rd party has been doing so far. 

 

Sales, running stats, promotion, etc. 

 

I'm curious how people see things as we reach the 2nd month mark.

 

Shady guy....

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.

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. 

There's a few games on Switch where it seems like there's legit gouging going on. I'm not following it TOO closely, but I'm gonna take it up a notch: $40 US and $50 Canada for USF2 is fucking gross. That's a $10 game.

Have 3rd parties made any comments about sales for the Switch? I just know about Bomberman doing well apparently, which is good I suppose...?

The good thing about most the 3rd party games is they don't need to sell millions and millions to be a success. So far mainly indies and smaller budget Japanese games. Switch is in that period where new owners kinda buy anything. So they should be doing fairly well.

It is time right now for everyone to wake up and realize that the Nintendo Switch is the Super Nintendo Wii, perhaps even Ultra! It is looking amazing!

Axiom Verge has been doing terribly I heard.

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!

 

Sorry sir :(

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.

Thought this was the original Bindg of Isaac which is dirt cheap on Steam even without sale.  Rebirth, Afterbirth, and Afterbirth+ goes for a total of 35 right now on Steam.  Does Afterbirth+ on Switch include Rebirth also?  I have no clue about this game and the expansions because I have never played it before.
