In my opinion, the number one thing Nintendo should improve the most...

That's hardly exclusive to the eShop. Official price cuts in the eShop will match official price cuts at retail, which are few and far between for Nintendo.

You're right, and that sucks big time. Just to illustrate:

A game from 2010, mind you. Wtf?

I am familiar with their pricing practices.

It doesn't bother me much. Time is more valuable than money. I am far more likely to dismiss a game because I don't want to spend my time playing it than I am to dismiss one because I don't want to spend my money on it. I've never regretted paying full price for a Nintendo game, the ones I've bought have all been worth it.

Mario Galaxy 2 can cost whatever it wants. It's a great game with no imitators. It was worth $50 in 2010, it is worth $50 now, it will be worth $50 until someone outdoes it.

Some people buy way more games than me, so of course it would be outrageously expensive for them to pay full price for every game. Many games can be bought at 75% or more off their original price, even some Nintendo games.
