Physical games are at an end, it's better to just look at the digital pricing as the actual price.
Inflation is a thing too, this idea that Nintendo was always to going to stay in that $300-$400 range with $50 games forever was nonsense.
The other thing is the majority of their buyer base today is adults with their own disposable income, children are a minority part of the market for them (still important, but hasn't been the majority for a while).
Donkey Kong looks like Odyssey 2 just with DK instead of Mario ... that's fine I would say. Mario Kart is by far Nintendo's biggest franchise, way bigger than any platformer. Those two right out of the gate basically + Metroid Prime 4 presumably not too far after that (at 120 FPS or 4K/60 for Switch 2) are not too shabby at all.
The presentation of the Direct was kinda all over the place and not the best, but the software is pretty strong IMO.
