Yeah I'm pretty sure we can thank Mario Tennis for Yoshi, Starfox, Splatoon Raiders, etc being $60/$50.

As I said in a thread a while back, if consumers vote with their wallets, the market adjusts.

My hope is that Nintendo will enforce a permanent price cut on previously released titles like MKWorld, DKBananza, MTFever, and KirbyARs. These games do not have legs right now… and what a darn shame it is to see DK and Kirby crawling. Genuinely some of Nintendo’s best (well, the former I’ve heard as much. Kirby is IMO one of Nintendo’s greats)!

Given the pressure on their profit margins from *gestures at everything* I wouldn't expect price cuts on anything anytime soon, though I do expect that moving forwards the $70 and higher price points will be reserved for the biggest guns rather than stuff like Kirby or Mario Tennis; this is born out by Yoshi, Splatoon Raiders, and Starfox.
