It came for free in the beginning, but was announced right of the bat that it will not stay so, so many took the freebie while they could. Also probably the reason for some VC titles, which sometimes started with 50-80% off during their first week.

Interestingly, Earthbound is actually the opposite. It's priced a couple of bucks higher than other SNES games, at least in the US, yet it places fairly high.

Earthbound is a bit of a special case considering the game was a highly acclaimed flop in the US and the cartridges sell for 200$ starting price at eBay. It also has a higher price in europe like all import titles (the game had not been released in europe prior of the Wii U version), but it still manages to sell really well. In both case, the reason is probably a legendary mix of reputation of the game and rarity of the origial cartridge.
