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.
