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

Literally there were even some NES games that retailed for $75 over 30 years ago these people should be grateful the prices stayed basically the same for so long while everything else ballooned from inflation. Plus it’s literally a luxury item, you don’t need your precious switch games to survive if you can’t afford it don’t fucking buy it.
