Why does it cost 3x more on the switch?

[German Economy]

Really interested to get the game on my switch, but why is the full price 3x more then the full price on steam?

Is there something different or is it the same game?

The switch version includes both of the DLC expansions to this game; if you were to buy the base game with both expansions without any steam sales, or bundle discount the switch version ends up costing about $ 3 more.

The reason why that happens it's because Steam balances the price to be fair with its original price

For example here in Mexico:
Rebirth: 15$ (I think) which is 310MXN but instead costs 150MXN
Afterbirth: 11$ which is 226MXN but instead costs 119MXN
Afterbirth+: 10$ which is 206MXN but instead costs 109MXN

So 310+226+206 = 742MXN and on the eShop here the game costs around 800MXN

So in the eShop it has the "real" price

And to answer your second cuestion, it's the same game, in fact the Switch version has 'till BP3
They didn't update to BP5 yet

What is the difference between bp3 and 5?
Afterbirth + is not available for some reason on my steam, but i guess the price would be around the same as the other dlc.

So yeah, it seems the price is close to the same, still i would rather have the base game first and then maybe add some dlc later if i want more.
The switch does not have this option, which is a little bit of a shame.

What would you guys say, is it worth 40 bucks with the dlc?
Or is the base game for 15 enough for starters?

BP5 has some more items than BP3, and a new character.

It was made so you can only buy it through the bundle; because it requires Afterbirth (non+) to even work.

I'd say, play the game without DLCs first to see if it fits your tastes; if it does, then buy the bundle as it triples the game's content (And, thanks to BP5, the game is balanced for beginners and gets harder as you get better) (For PC anyway, on Switch the game is balanced too; but on PC, BP5 is responsible for balance)
