Prices were funny back then
Nintendo lowered prices for Diddy Kong Racing and Bomberman 64, reduced the manufacturing prices for certain third-party games as part of an effort to fend off Sony's recent pricing plan for PlayStation games.
The price drop, announced Monday, means that many N64 titles will sell for $49-$69, a range Nintendo believes carries "popular" mass market appeal. Nintendo expects the price drop will sell more hardware and software, VP of Marketing George Harrison tells MMWIRE. Many N64 titles retail for over $70. Some will now be advertised under $50, he adds.
...
This move comes a few weeks after Sony introduced a new pricing plan that prices five new titles, including NFL Gameday '98 and Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, below $39.95. It also is one year to the day after the N64 was introduced.
