In all seriousness I know what you were getting at. Making games 40$ for smaller experiences on Switch could potentially be a tough sell if the Switch is viewed as a console. This might be the first gen in a long time for instance where a 2D Zelda is more like a big triple A game, just nowhere near the level of a 3D one. I think Nintendo will have to carefully balance that "Switch" feeling of a game - a console game on the go, and the more limited 3ds like experiences

If I recall correctly, Captain Toad and another Wii U game were $50 at release. The Switch has a lot of capability as a hybrid, and I see the 'smaller' games on the 3ds eventually migrating to the Switch.

New Luigi U & NES Remix Pack were $30

Captain Toad & Rainbow Curse were $40

Mario Party 10 & Tropical Freeze were $50

 

Nintendo had a range of prices on Wii U, hopefully they follow suit on Switch.
