Virtual Console import prices removed

Whoever removed the "import" prices on the NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, TurboGrafix-16, NeoGeo, and Sega Master System better put them back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.134.188.237 (talk) 02:23, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

I did, because Wikipedia is not a catalog. Please read the cited section before responding. Thanks. --McDoobAU93 02:45, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

You are correct that wikipedia is not a catalog, but the motivation behind that is that wikipedia is not a price comparison service. There isn't a multitude of vendors here, there is just nintendo. I actually came here to look up the virtual console prices and was miffed that they were gone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.91.88.214 (talk) 04:27, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Well, surely that info is available elsewhere. It doesn't belong here. It is useful is not a valid reason for keeping info on there. Sergecross73 msg me 12:54, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

The information is surprisingly hard to find. I found one website that gives approximate prices, but for the life of me I cannot find it on the official nintendo website. That's why I came here; I'm sure the information is out there somewhere on the internet but I'm not sure where to go to find it. The wikipedia entry was far and away the easiest way to search these things. I'm pretty new to wikipedia so if everyone is adamant it shouldn't be here, I'll suck it up and deal.

Got it. Had to go to the nintendo wiki to find it. Would it be out of line to put a link on this page? http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Virtual_Console_titles_%28North_America%29 Bigbenbt (talk) 04:06, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Actually WP:ELNO item #12 discourages other wikis as external links. But there's some wiggle room ... would the Nintendo wiki meet the description for "substantially stable" and "substantial number of editors"? --McDoobAU93 04:47, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Would it perhaps be acceptable to mention which games are priced as imports without giving any numbers for the prices? --SoledadKabocha (talk) 17:17, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm, that's a thought. It would be notable to show which games have not been released in North America previously. How would you suggest we show that in the table? --McDoobAU93 17:23, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
