Judging by today’s Virtual Console releases, it seems Nintendo Europe has inflated the price for import titles. For example:
TurboGrafx (PC Engine)
- Final Soldier – 700 Points
- GRADIUS II: GOFER NO YABOU – 900 Points
SEGA MEGADRIVE
- Columns III: Revenge of Columns – 900 Points
Compared with other TurboGrafx titles, that’s an increase of 80 percent, and MegaDrive’s Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom went for 800 points a couple of weeks ago.
We just call as we see it. Checking with Nintendo now.

What’s 900 points in real money?

500 Points is £3.50. Remember that’s the price of a PS1 game off the PSN.
