Just read games could cost $60, if that's true all my hype is gone. I won't be buying new games on first day and will wait for the price to drop.

That's the price you have to pay for stepping up to the HD gen.  Did you really thing Nintendo WASN'T going to charge the same as every other developer has been for the past 6-7 years now?  Only reason they didn't before was they knew they could never get away with charging $60 for SD games that looked a generation old already.

This HD gen is already 5 years old, once the new Xbox and PS4 are out it will have outdated graphics. So will they reduce the price after that? Or the new next gen games are gonna cost $70?  I don't care, Nintendo defended their cheap prices saying they care for their consumers and mass market and stuff like that. Now they're doing the same thing they critiziced. Not good in my eyes.
