The difference here is that Switch was launched and supported as it's own console. Meanwhile the Nomad was a variant of the dying Genesis. Six AA batteries required to power it was not cheap in 1995. Hell, a four pack was friggin $10 back then. For many games you'd wind up spending more on batteries than the game itself. Just look at how long Phantasy Star IV is.
