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

If the prices are the only thing that get adjusted up due to inflation, it's not inflation but corporate greed

Wages have gone up more than inflation.

Not in most countries. Obviously the United states are way behind but even Germany is far behind inflation.

At least in the US, wages have outpaced inflation since 2019. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna168579
