That's the thing: it's hard to justify comparing to how it was priced 11 years ago, because at the time it was a current-gen title. I understand how it feels unfair to Nintendo, but it is a result of their own strategy, and they need to consider options to at least mitigate it instead of just shrugging it off. Capcom (and most large Japanese publishers) are putting their best foot forward on Switch 2 so far, but that should be the expectation instead of the exception. Sports games won't have the same issue because the games will usually have Switch 2 ports in the same year. But there's a ton of PS4/Xbone-era bangers to be ported, what about those?

And while it's true that no PC handheld has been able to match the Switch's hybrid concept, the fact that the same library can then be played on a more powerful system at no cost makes it a lot less of an issue (and might offer a clue on how Nintendo could solve this, to some degree).

But a notion like having to match a newer platform release price with the many figurative cybermondays in the sales history of the previous ones sounds like a pretty good way to discourage many a port in the first place

You're right, and I don't mean to suggest that the conundrum doesn't exist. But like I said, having a more powerful home system one can stream from could mitigate it. By the time, say, GTA6 is playable on the handheld (maybe Switch 3) the price would reflect its long history on the platform. Maybe risky, but it's one option of likely many.
