60$??? that doesn't make any sense...

In Japan's Nintendo Direct, didn't they say that Nintendo Land would be 5000 Yen and NSMBU would be 6000 Yen (same price as NSMBW which was 50$ in the US)? Since NSMBU was the same as the Wii version and Nintendo Land was cheaper than both in Japan, I though that it would be 40$ or maybe 50$ max :(

Prices in Japan are very different from over here. More flexible, but also higher. Think of it this way: it's not that NSMBU is "still" $50 in Japan, it's that they've been paying $60+ for Wii games all along. So the Japanese price stays the same while the American price rises a bit to catch up.

Well, looking at it this way, it does make sence a bit, especially with the horrible exchange rates nowadays. Thought that Nintendo Land would be cheaper though, but that just makes the Deluxe Bundle even more valuable.
