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

According to cablebox, before the Wii U launched many Wii games were still at full price. 

Mario Galaxy has been $20 since 2011
