Would you buy switch games for cheap (outside US, UK & EU) or be ripped off?

During my trip in Japan, I've been to Yodobashi for new titles or Super Potato for retro for used copies, game prices are "cheap" only if you have Western money due to the weak yen, for switch games: minimum is ¥2,500 ($17 / 15€ / £13) while the max threshold is usually at ¥7,600 ($51 / 47€ / £40), however I've seen prices surge up to ¥8,900 or ¥9,980 lately for a switch game while there, which is expensive for Japanese people but makes it cheap for foreigners, I guess.

I hear about how much video game prices have been inflated and overpriced, especially in Western countries where they have the worst regional pricing as of today, complain about $80 (+sales tax) in America, it's a similar thing in Europe as in them being confronted with 80€ or 90€ price tags & the UK with £67 & £75. Speaking of that, does Japan (or Japanese people) have the "best" regional pricing for switch games when comparing them to USD, EUR or GBP?

Nope.

Wouldn't purchase a switch so no reason to purchase games for it.

I think you have to ask yourself a series of questions. Can I emulate this? If so then do not purchase, If not then proceed to purchase it at cheapest price. The Entire world is mad at Nintendos greed So lets see what happens, Hopefully its major consequences
