"N64" "$89 games"

Definitely Australian.

N64 games were more expensive than PS1's here, too, but they were usually only $39.99 new. I didn't have a PS1 until after PS3 was out, so I can't actually speak firsthand about what the games cost, but I do remember people saying N64 games cost more.

My bad, i should have put aud next to it. I always forget it.

N64 games were more expensive plus they had to compete with a console that had work arounds where games can cost $2

I think PS1 games were $35 new here, so while there was a noticeable difference, it was also offset some by cartridges offering built-in savegames. No extra cost to save, and no concern of losing your saves for every single game you owned. 

So piracy, in NA, was deemed a nonissue. But yeah, in AU, I can definitely see that being different!
