And they listed First Party titles as $99.99!!! Third Party games are listed as $59.99. Here are links.

Amongst others. It seems that $99.99 seems to be the general placeholder price retailers are using, but why is it only for first party games? Third party games are listed as $59.99 and some even as $49.99... strange.

Because Nintendo hasn't released pricing details about their games. $59 is just what is assumed from the third party developers, and some games (like those that don't have as much content) launch at cheaper prices.

Amazon just does this to cover their booty.

They have a price lock guarantee, so if they put anything less and it really is more expensive, then they're screwed.

So these don't mean much, but I guess people like to pre-order things nonetheless.

You're not necessarily "buying" them as you won't get charged until the product is shipped to you.
