Is anybody even kinda sorta thinking about getting Puyo Puyo Tetris?

Only the physical version. With Switch carts being so expensive, they threw together a "collector's edition" as the only version available at retail so that they could skirt around Nintendo's policy of identical digital/physical pricing. The physical edition comes with a keychain. That's it.

Are you serious?

The Wii U had discs and some third parties still added a €10 "Nintendo bonus" to their early games. It's not the storage medium that causes a price increase. It's third parties who have the attitude that Nintendo console owners should be grateful that third parties can be bothered at all, so they charge more without providing more. I am convinced that some third parties would love to create a narrative where Switch cards are so expensive to produce that a €10 increase is justified.

What's the file size of Puyo Puyo Tetris? Probably less than 2GB. That's a card size that wasn't a problem on the 3DS, so why should it suddenly be one several years later when prices for storage capacity have decreased?

Hey, I'm just repeating what every publisher and developers that has commented on it has said. As far as a "Nintendo" bonus, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Some publishers had premium pricing (even Atlus had the gall to charge $50 for stuff on 3DS), but I don't recall commentary on that as a Nintendo bonus.

As far as PPT, I'm not sure. The cost of Switch carts are more than 3DS carts, so it's not quite a direct comparison. Eventually, publishers will just hurt the higher cost for the medium, as publishers did when they complained about the more expensive cost of printing blurays in 2006.
