Well, it's obviously a matter of personal opinion in a lot of ways, but for me the Switch has so far this year received exactly two games I'm strongly interested in: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Octopath Traveler, and one of them is a port of a four year old game that was vastly overpriced at launch, and still costs too much as far as I'm concerned. The rest of the year will bring the new Smash Bros at the very least, which I'm looking forward to a lot. Besides that, however, there really isn't much else I'm all that interested in for the rest of the year on the console.

What was the price of The Last of Us or GTAV on PS4 when they released? I can't remember.

They were both price at 60$ as I recall, but also both released about one year after the original. The Last of Us also included the DLC in the remaster. GTA V added some superficial changes, but also a significant number of additions to details in animations and other features, as well as the well-known 1st person mode (which makes the game vastly superior in the gunplay, especially on PC).

Both fully priced, but as mentioned, also both released about one year after the original (I think GTA V came out about 14 months after on PS4 and Xbox One).

Edit; it seemed that TLoU was reduced by 10$ right before launch, my mistake. So 50$ for a complete edition one year after the original release, that's some fairly good value for money if you ask me.
