Not surprised at all. Game looks like a ~15€ eshop game, so I don't see why they would sell it for 40$.
Reviews were really mediocre as well.
I doubt it cost them much to produce it though, so it didn't really 'flop'.
If you're interested in Nintendo content and understand german, maybe you want to take a look at my youtube channel! :)
