How much did a N64 cost in 1997?

$149.99 To remain competitive Nintendo also dropped the price of the N64 in North America to $149.99. A price cut so soon after the systems launch left a bad taste for many early adopters who felt cheated by the lower price point. In May 1997, the N64 received a price cut in the U.K. from £250 to £150.

Game releases after E3 were still as sparse as before, but a couple major titles and accessories did hit the market to help boost the N64 game library in the right direction. First up was the North American release of Star Fox 64. With this, Star Fox series fans were finally treated to a fully 3D Star Fox game and initial sales were great! The best part of this new Star Fox journey was being able to feel every hit and bomb blast with the new Rumble Pak accessory that was packaged with each copy of the game. While many believed the Rumble Pak was just another gimmick, its impact is still felt in the industry today. Force feedback has become so synonymous with console gaming that even when Sony tried to get rid of it with the launch of the PlayStation 3 in 2006, fan demand brought about a new controller revision in 2008 to bring it back. The biggest release of 1997, and arguably one of the most important game releases of all time, came a month and a half after Star Fox 64 in the form of GoldenEye 007. GoldenEye was not the first FPS game ever brought to consoles, but it was the one to prove once and for all that not only could shooters be done on a console, it could still provide a gameplay and multiplayer experience to rival that of most anything on PC at the time. GoldenEye would go on to top the best-selling games lists for months after release and helped further drive N64 console sales as a result.

Games Finally Start to Arrive October 1997

Unfortunately, after the release of GoldenEye, games would continue to release about a month apart. The End of October finally saw the end of this trend when games finally started to release at regular weekly intervals. Sadly, most of these games are largely forgettable outside of a few hits like Extreme-G and Diddy Kong Racing.

How much did a Game Boy cost in 2000?

This was largely because of a modest price tag and longer battery life. In the U.S., it retailed for just $89.99, making it a big hit there too. In its fourteen-year lifespan, 118,69 million Game Boys (including all iterations) were sold worldwide. It was discontinued in 2003, but there's still a huge interest in it.

In 2020, it’s tough to find many sellers who have the original Game Boy on offer. However, there were, of course, other iterations of it that followed, like the Game Boy Pocket and the Game Boy Light. Not to mention the successors, the Game Boy Color and the Game Boy Advance. The Pocket, as the name suggests, was smaller and lighter, requiring fewer batteries. The Light, while the name might suggest a difference in weight, actually featured a backlight so that you could use it in dim settings. It was also exclusive to Japan. How do they stack up in terms of monetary value?

The general version of the Game Boy Pocket doesn’t stand out in pricing from the standard, original Nintendo console. But a quick search for the Game Boy Light gives you a range of about $140-$200. There is the special, limited edition Tezuka Osamu World Shop version that one seller asks $310 for. Going for the same higher price tag is the special Astro Boy edition. The Game Boy Pocket does boast one limited edition variant worth an incredible amount of money today due to its rarity. The Nintendo Power 100 Gold Game Boy Pocket was released to celebrate Nintendo Power magazine’s 100th issue. Not only is it gold, but it features the Nintendo Power logo below the screen. The only one you can find on eBay at the time of writing is pre-owned, and the seller is asking for a whopping $1,799. This makes it easily one of the most expensive Game Boys of all time. You can view it here. All in all, trying to relive your childhood or even to experience something you’ve heard a lot about but are too young to have lived through won’t set you back too much, thankfully.
