Serebii Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Don't know if it'll come here, but Ubisoft are doing an odd deal on the Wii U eShop. 30% off all their retail games for a week http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu/ubisoft-promo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liger05 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Love F Zero but 50hz means no purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
are1981 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 I will purchase all the €0.30 Virtual Console games on Wii U, hoping Nintendo soon will listen to its fans and offer two versions of each game. I expect my 50 Hz purchases will then include the 60 Hz versions. But I will not start building a VC library at full price as long as they only offer inferior 50 Hz versions!

RedShell Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 well I am gonna still refuse to buy 50hz games. Love F Zero but 50hz means no purchase.Totally with you on the 50hz issue, definitely won't be buying any VC games at full price (other than SMK, which isn't really effected by being 50hz anyway as it's the best game ever and made using special magic ) but these games are 30p... Thirty Peeeeeee! Hell, I'd buy 'em running at 0hz for that price. Also, F-Zero is totally worth buying just for the soundtrack, which will play at the correct speed even at 50hz.

Hero-of-Time Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Also, F-Zero is totally worth buying just for the soundtrack, which will play at the correct speed even at 50hz. Agreed. The F-Zero soundtrack is godlike. I'm not bothered about the 50hz/60hz debate. Sure i'll probably notice the difference when side by side, but as long as the game works then i'm a happy chappy. Quick/stupid question. I frantically downloaded Balloon Fight this morning before going to work, before it gets replaced with F-Zero. Having purchased it I expected it to appear on the dashboard of the Wii U, but it wasn't there. Where exactly does the thing go? Am I missing something obvious?

nekunando Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I will purchase all the €0.30 Virtual Console games on Wii U.. I had contemplated putting some funds on the Wii U recently to download all the 30p games over the next few months but nothing really stood out from the list that I needed to own that I don't already on other formats. With that in mind, since receiving the Wii U as a Christmas present, I still haven't spent any money on it.. for games or hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lens of Truth Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Victory for Miiverse!! Woohoo! Power to the people!! Or something :bouncy: :bouncy: I sincerely hope this is true. I tried the 60Hz F-Zero demo that came on my US copy of Smash Brawl and, wow, makes a huge difference. Even a slowish game like Super Metroid just feels so slick in its proper format!

This is a bit of a milestone moment - the Wii U VC is now NOT GIMPED and a genuinely enticing prospect and NoE have actually chosen to AVOID BAD PR!! I'm gobsmacked.

Dcubed Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 NO FUCKING WAY!!! OH MY GOD!!! THIS MEANS SO MUCH TO ME!!! 25+ years of hurt, finally brought to an end!!! Now update Balloon Fight to the same 60hz speed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Wow, can't believe it. Miiverse is probably the best thing Nintendo have done, they obviously took notice of the backlash. Wish I had my Wii U right now :P. Still jealous Japan gets Fire Emblem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 This is kind of a milestone for the Virtual Console, it really shouldn't be as we really should have had this happen long ago, but it is a milestone indeed. *sheds a small tear* Expect a full review in the next edition of VC Weekly.

It's not just a milestone for the VC, it's a watershed moment for PAL gaming in general! I don't think most people here realise just how significant this is. It's the first time that Europe will finally recieve the non-butchered versions of games, for over 25 years, our games have been completely mangled. This is possibly the greatest gaming news of the generation so far. Finally, Europe can experience the true vision behind our games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I don't want to burst the bubble here (believe me, I really don't) but seeing as this news comes from ONM, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they just heard the music was playing at the correct speed on F-Zero and therefore assumed it was the 60hz version. Like I said though, hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm with redshell and just said the same to Dakota. ONM have often got little details wrong and I bet anything they're wrong again. Nintendo would announce it properly if so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) I don't want to burst the bubble here (believe me, I really don't) but seeing as this news comes from ONM, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they just heard the music was playing at the correct speed on F-Zero and therefore assumed it was the 60hz version. Like I said though, hope I'm wrong. It's in the press release, which says this: F-ZERO™(Nintendo) Wii U (Virtual Console) Nintendo eShop (€0.30) (£0.30) Game Description: Part of the Family Computer 30th Anniversary Campaign. In the year 2560, the greatest racing competition is the F-ZERO championship. Pilots from across the galaxy risk their lives in a high-speed battle of turbo-charged hovercraft. Taking full advantage of the Super NES’s 'Mode 7™' effect, F-ZERO redefined racing games with its smooth, fast graphics and thrilling gameplay. It also featured one of the most famous soundtracks in video games, and introduced players to the likes of Captain Falcon and Samurai Goroh. This is a release of the US-NTSC version of the game running at 60Hz. Edited February 20, 2013 by Ike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 http://www.gonintendo.com/ Jesus Christ I can't get the link up properly apart from going to the main site, sorry! But 3 stories down is a list of this weeks downloads, and seems to confirm it is the NTSC version, 60HZ for EU! Edit: what @Ike said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
