A Wii was about 2500NOK when it released at home, a Wii-mote  + Nunchuck was around 1100NOK. Regional pricing, another staple of Nintendo's less successful policies, from a consumer standpoint anyway. As for the games part I mentioned, I remember when Super Mario Galaxy 2 released, the first one was still full price in retail stores (and mostly online as well). This is why my library of Switch games is so small, it's just too expensive.

Also; the Switch Pro Controller cost me around 900SEK when I got my Switch, about 50% more than an Xbox One controller or DS4 controller. In all fairness though, the Pro Controller is much better than both in my opinion.

This is true. I think Scandinavia having higher taxes make their games and peripherals more expensive, it's same in LA (joycons are around 550 BRL ~105USD here, a PS4 Dualshock is less than half of that). Microsoft and Sony choose to lower their profit margins so they can get more market share, but Nintendo doesn't like small profit margins
