Yeah it seems to be a pretty common game for TG16. I wouldnt pay more than $10 or $15 for a loose copy. The PC engine version is a lot more expensive though. Around $40 for a complete copy.

Great game though, one of my favorites for the system!!

It's just pricy in Japan for whatever reason, maybe because it's popular and somewhat uncommon?

$20 seems to be a pretty average price from retail stores.  CIC

why is the pc-engine one more expensive

I don't know, but I can speculate. I think Ninja Spirt NA vs JP is comparable to Keith Courage vs. Wataru:

Wataru is, surprisingly, more expensive than Keith Courage. KC is common in North America (it was a pack-in game, large quantity manufactured, demand for it is relatively low).

Wataru, I suppose, may not have been produced in as large numbers as KC. Also, I'm not sure if Wataru's tie-in to a   television show would increase or decrease its desirability these days...

Ninja Spirit, while not an official pack-in, seems to have been produced in large amounts (it was considered as a pack-in for the DUO, IIRC. Whether this is because it is a good game or because NEC/TTi was stuck with a huge backstock and wanted to get rid of them is another story).

The Wataru/Keith Courage comparison seems like a very good explanation.

I have both PCE and Turbo version since it's one of my favorite games.  I've been always curious to know why there seems to be a significant price difference between the two.   

I do like the artwork of the PCE version more.  Maybe that has something to do with the value too. :lol:
