In the case of Nintendo games...well it's Nintendo, Mario Galaxy is still $50 in my country, and I know is similar in the U.S

As for 3rd party and indie games, well I guess they are taking advantage of the Eshop. I mean if Nintendo doesn't drop their prices, why should them? You can find some deals from time to time though, most indie games were $5 during the holidays, and big games were $20-$30 cheaper. 

Actually Galaxy is $20 here in the US

They Nintendo should put that on the eshop why do they think i want to pay 20 or wait for it to ship. Rather have it now from e shop for 10 bux than ship it or what not get in car drive somewhere and hunt it down. Nintendo..Iwata I'm lookin at you staring into your pupils of lies and doom and staring into your cornia and saying wtf!
