GB games are and always have been $30... the occasional price-hike to $35 notwithstanding.
Given the same prices from day one to now, GB games have gone down in price once inflation is concidered.
Why are GB carts cheaper than other carts? Well original GB carts had a 4mb maximum size while some SNES games were 24mb... that's a huge difference and it is really the memory that costs most of the price of a cart...
As for NES games I'd expect them to be quite a bit cheaper than SNES games, unless Nintendo just wanted money. :)
