After the first year, the prices pretty much settled into the pattern of:

First-party games: $59.99 or $49.99
Third-party games: $59.99 or $69.99
Players' Choice games: $39.99

By 1998, the $69.99 games had all but disappeared, and the highest you'd see an N64 game go for was $59.99:

The reason those games cost so much back then is because companies were spending $28 just to manufacture an N64 cartridge. A PlayStation or Saturn disc, by comparison, only cost $2 or $3 to make.

I remember you could do finishing moves in arcade mode. So much fun.
