I´m corious: How much did GBA games cost in Austria back then ?

I have to pay 40€ for my 3DS games, they were 45 at the beginning, but everything is down to 40 again.

GBA games were 40€ here in Germany.

...so my situation has changed...for the better !

First party for GBA was €40, third party €50. One reason why I hardly bought any third party games for my GBA; the other that first party games were of higher quality. Getting rid of the cartridges with the DS brought the prices for third party software down, so yeah, things have gotten better and stayed pretty much the same since then.

Similar story for Wii; whereas any GC game was €60 (and in the later stages €50 or even just €40), Wii first party software was €45 and third party games commonly €50 (many companies started at €60 though). With Wii U the prices jumped back up to €60, and third parties didn't shy away from charging €70. Nintendo seems to start moving into the opposite direction again though.

Man, that is rough
