Nintendo Switch ports always seem to be around $10 higher than for other systems, its been referred to as the "Nintendo tax". I imagine its because they know people will pay it to take incredible games like this one in such an easy portable way. And this version does have exclusive Nintendo branded content in it unavailable in other releases

It’s all about the game counsel and the demand. Try second hand game stores if you don’t want a brand new game.

Nintendo S2itch games tend to be more expensive than other systems. I mostly see it chalked up to the cartridges being more expensive to manufacture than discs.

I pre ordered Minecraft and I think I paid either 59.00 or 63.00. This is not Story Mode, it is a new game, hence the price.

Presumably, this listing is for the informally announced physical version of Minecraft. While the price is just a placeholder, it would likely be more expensive than physical versions on other consoles.
