What a nice old game. Unfortunately it’s very expensive on the eshop, I don’t know why
It’s not that much more expensive than the iOS version, which is $4.99. I’m sure part of it is the “Switch tax,” but I don’t have a problem with the price either way, seeing as this is the only way I would actually play the game. But I can understand the hesitation in purchasing it here if you already have another means of playing the game.
