Na mate, that's on you. Big N is well known for overpriced games and no sales.
I somehow payed only 60€ for TOTK. The rest i could find them around 40€. 3rd party even lower. 1st party always physical, 3rd party only digital when big sales come in place (around 10-15€).
For console gaming it was not that bad. Not comparing to PC gaming or the prices that old games should have ofc (putting 70€ for BOTW on Switch 2 is a big joke).
From the perspective of someone who's had Sony consoles spanning generations that is terrible pricing. I only picked up a switch because it was a handheld, but it isn't a selling point to me this time around due to the Steam Deck playing the same library of games I have on the PC.
Nintendo diehards will stick with it and it'll sell great, but I'll be going back to skipping Nintendo consoles for the foreseeable future.
