There have been 113 million Switches sold to date making it the fifth highest selling console ever. Interesting definition of "niche market."
Nintendo Switch games have always been around $60 for new titles, and rarely go on sale until at least a year after release, if ever, at all.

New Xbox and PS games are at $60, and some are starting to adopt $70 as standard.
They just always go on sale like a month after release or so, for maybe ~$50 or so. Once they pass a year, they go down to like $20-30 for a "game of the year edition"
(Nintendo rarely does anything like this, unless you count them rereleasing/remastering old titles in new boxes)

Example: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl was $60 on release a year ago, and only recently has dropped to $40 as standard.
MW2 for the main consoles started at $70, and is now hovering around $50-60, only a month after release.

TLDR Nintendo games are actually even/cheaper on release than others. They just hold value longer as prices don't drop - other consoles drop them much more frequently.
Makes it more justifiable to pay full price on a Nintendo game than others!
This game is an absolute blast to play with my kids.

It is beautiful, the gameplay is fantastic, and it masterfully makes it challenging for good players (getting everything on the levels, getting the best score on challenges, etc.) and easy for novice gamers to get through and feel that they are making progress. I had never played a Kirby game before this one and was surprised how fun it is.

Easy 5/5 even at full price.

First party games. Plenty of switch games that as quickly become the same price as other console games. I think you already know the answer. Be thankful today rather than trying to stir up trouble.

Nintendo *first party* games have always been high price tier, its just the way Nintendo plays it, always has always will. Supply and demand. They charge what people will pay. There may be marginally more cost for them based on their business models, global structure, the use of cartridges, etc., but it's primarily about maintaining this top tier optics of the nintendo software brand.

This is the same company that notoriously and aggressively pursues legal action against anyone using their ip, from rom distros to social influencers. remember this is a publicly traded company, who must justify actions as financially beneficial to shareholders.

I paid full price for this and it's my kids favorite game (age 5 and 7) they love the meta knight challenge. They will sit there and replay it again and again.

I prefer digital though it makes switching between games for the kiddos much faster.

I imagine part of the reason is it is considered the "family friendly" console of the 3 main contenders. I think Nintendo understands that parents will often choose their console as the "safer" pick. If my company was in that position I would probably maintain higher prices too if customers keep buying. Like others have said though, first party titles play into the price as well.
