Idk about Nintendo either way but this seems to be a long overdue adjustment in the gaming industry after prices were kept at $50 dollars for so long.

Using https://www.usinflationcalculator.com

$50 in 1990 is $122.07 in 2025

$50 in 1999 is $95.76 in 2025

It wouldn't be so bad if wages actually increased to match the inflation

I mean with tariffs incoming and an unsure economy in the near future I can see Nintendo wanting to pad their war chests as much as possible.

This is true, but it doesn't account for the increase in living costs. So ≠.

You have got to be trolling. A quick search will tell you the difference between inflation / cost of living. Lol. Ironic username.

And you apparently need an advanced degree to understand the relationship between inflation and CPI

Glad you understand that my username applies to you
