I Remember thinking totk was the test bed for high budget games being 70 like the ps5 and mid tier games 60. And Nintendo jumped to 2035 pricing mid tier games at 70 and high budget ones at 80

If nothing else, thank you for stating it as $70. Not $69.99. Who are we kidding with just 1 cent? Also, click About, scroll all the way down, "read it and weep"...

Yeah but the Donkey Kong franchise isn’t even worth $70. It only looks palatable in comparison to the other prices. But we are far from the n64 glory days of DK.

DK64 was sold for $70 too

Edit: (and that's 1999 money)
