I mean, technically, it's cheaper now because of inflation, but that's more pedantic than even I care to be

but yeah, last few nintendo games have been $70 I think so there have been rumors that it's the new norm for the big N

Last few? I just browsed the front page of the Eshop and there was only one $70 Nintendo title.

I know totk was one, I guess I just assumed that a few more had come out at that price point

Eh, the inflation argument never moved me for a variety of reasons. But either way, if that’s true then the first part of my comment applies.

Yup with inflation the $60 would be somewhere between $80-85 dollars equivalent in buying power.

So its technically cheaper. $60 today is $40-45, 14 years ago.
