It's perfectly reasonable to be surprised at $80 Nintendo games already though. The pace of the move is staggering. Less than two years ago all Nintendo Switch games were $60 or less. They only released one $70 less than two years ago and suddenly we're jumping to $80. I don't think anyone had the foresight that Nintendo would be charging $80 for physical games this soon, or that they'd be the first to do it. With only one $70 title it feels more like they jumped straight from $60 to $80.

They were one of the last to release a $70 title but now are already jumping into the $80 territory.

Physical games are the past, I think people just need to accept that. The $80 is basically a "fine we'll give you physical games but we're not eating the physical cost of the cart + retail margin for no charge any longer, you want that, you pay for it".

The games are $60-$70 ... $80 is just for a minority audience that for whatever reason needs to have physical games ... they can pay more for that. 

Source for physical costing more on Switch 2?
