dazzybee Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 So is this a general change? Will they update Balloon Trip?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zechs Merquise Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm really happy it's the 60Hz version, I can't wait to get home and spend 30p on this beauty! I got an awful lot of play out of Balloon Trip, so I'm expecting to get more out of this. But it's Super Metroid I really can't wait for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V. Amoleo Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) I'm really surprised at them changing their mind over this considering all the moaning people did about it on the Wii VC and Nintendo did nothing at all about it. Is it bad that I sort of wish they'd offer both the 60hz and 50hz games? So you can play the game as intended or as you'd remember it. Here's hoping they change Balloon Fight too.

Ike Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Should be interesting to see what they do with Super Metroid since the European version had German subtitles, or games that have multiple languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanee Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 60hz mother fudgers, get in. Miiverse complaining works lol Now lets just hope they do this for all VC games. 60hz Super Metroid please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I think we all need to pitch in here and bake some cookies to send to Shibata and the rest of the guys in Germany. I'm so happy! The greatest gaming news of the last 5 years at least (assuming that it's not a one off and Balloon Fight does get fixed) Let 50hz be smited now and forever more!

Lens of Truth Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Props @Dcubed as well for being one of the most vocal and persistent! When they see the rapturous reaction this gets on Miiverse, they'd surely have to be insane to make it a one off! Edit- Oh and we get a Monster Hunter demo today. I haven't been keeping up. Fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazza Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Oh, this is brilliant! I know some people think the 60Hz issue is a modern, "internet" thing, but it's really not. It was in all the magazines I read throughout the '90s. All I really wanted was to play the proper versions of SNES games, and now it seems I will be able to. If this applies to the others, I will build up a huge collection - Super Metroid, Link to the Past, Super Mario World... Thank you Nintendo!

Agent Gibbs Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 60hz?! freaking about time! now lets campaign for Fire Emblem and Mother including in ours! :p Miiverse is awesome, i need to draw nintendo a thank you picture on the baloon fight/f-zero community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Super Play used to absolutely ravage Nintendo for their treatment of PAL versions of games. Even NOM (now ONM) infamously marked down the score of Wave Race 64 for getting such a horrific PAL conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
are1981 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 THANK YOU, NINTENDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For over twenty years have I wanted to play the NTSC versions of all my Nintendo games -- especially F-Zero -- and now I can finally play the proper version of F-Zero! Unbelievable! This made my day, no... my week! Let the 60 Hz awesomeness continue, forever! Now I will go on Miiverse and salute you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazza Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yeah, Super Play used to absolutely ravage Nintendo for their treatment of PAL versions of games. Oh, that brings back memories. My college tutors made me phone-up (Super Play writer) Helen McCarthy once to ask whether I could use an image from her magazine, Anime UK. I was nervous about talking to a celebrity whose pieces I'd read a lot of, and my voice was trembling. Naturally, she told me she didn't own the copyright, meaning my tutors had set it all up for nothing! I was a pretty dim 17-year-old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekunando Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 With it being the last day for Balloon Fight, I decided I'd just go for it since I noticed you could add just the 30p if you so desired in order to purchase it. With that in mind, I'll probably now end up getting all of the deals in this Famicom offer, with F-Zero and Super Metroid in the palm of your hands perhaps the best of all Having said that, Balloon Fight does somehow seem like a waste of money this morning, especially when you consider how slow it is compared to the 3DS version. I had actually never been particularly bothered by the 50Hz/60Hz argument before as 50Hz was what I was used to with a lot of these old games so it was fine.. but if you've had to go from first experiencing a game in 60Hz to what i've just downloaded, it's a little painful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
