Yes, sometimes it's a bundle, like with Mario, but even that is $99 everywhere. I'm not saying it's a bad price, but just once I would like to see an ad say $89.

For the most part they are the same everywhere, the game companies have set pretty much standard pricing. Every once in a while you will see a deal, usually something like a gift card with purchase, free extra game (usually a pc title) etc. With Christmas coming up it's very possible a store will run something a little better than the standard offer, but probably not much better.
