Cant remember where I read it, but someguy talked to someone that would know and was basically told so. Read it in a article talking about the subject of digital prices of nitnendo games, being higher than PS4/XB1 versions.
Theres no official statement I can give you that I know of though, no.

That source is the same one my article used, Eurogamer, not an official statement just anonymous tips.

As others may have mentioned, the Switch isn't the first console to use cartridges. When it comes to portable games, carts never stopped. Nintendo is my favorite company (it's a love/hate thing) but they sold just admit it's because "We want to make money."
If I were third party, I'd release my games digitally for cheap and then go with a physical release months later. See if my $20-$40 digital game gets a huge mark up when it goes retail. I doubt it.

I would do the same. Release it digitally since Switch memory cards are standard and cheaply expandable.
Afterwards release the retail GOTY with DLC or make a special edition for collectors and fans.
Double launch, double the attention, double the marketing, everyone wins?
