About this game
Baba Is You is a tile-based puzzle game.
The player controls (usually) a cartoonish creature named Baba, and has to get Baba to a level goal.

The levels also contain various other objects (walls, rocks, doors etc.) with differing properties.
The rules governing the behavior of these objects are depicted within the levels as simple sentences.
For example, "Rock is Push" indicates that rocks can be pushed, "Wall is Stop" indicates that walls are impassable, and "Baba is You" indicates that Baba is the controllable character.
However, in a twist, the words that make up these sentences are treated as physical objects in their own right, and can be pushed around to assemble new sentences and completely change the game rules.
For instance, the player can disassemble the sentence "Wall is Stop" so that walls can be passed through freely, or assemble the sentence "Rock is You" to let him control the rocks.
Completing each level inevitably requires skillful manipulation of the rules.
As the game progresses, new words start appearing, introducing ever more complex mechanics.
Often, the player must find out by experimentation the unexpected ways in which various rules can interact. "Undo" and "Restart" commands are available in case the player finds himself in an unwinnable situation.
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Baba Is You for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Baba Is You to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2019.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Baba Is You has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
