slangman commented on Nintendo Download: MUSHA, Smash Table Tennis, ...:
Yep it appears Sega has downgraded another import to run in 50hz. I second Betagam7's comment, there should be a section mentioning this. The PAL version sounds and plays different to the 60hz version. As I can see other people seem to hate 50hz too.
Nintendolife can do this. All it takes is educating people the difference between 50hz and 60hz.

slangman commented on Nintendo Download: MUSHA, Smash Table Tennis, ...:
Great update, MLAADL looks great. MUSHA is a fantastic shooter, although it's a shame the PAL version will be another 50hz fest.
#3
slangman commented on Ant Nation:
Sounds like a Pikmin style game. I will keep my eye on this one.
#4
slangman commented on Nintendo Download: Bits, Tanks, Ants, Commando...:
Great update alround. I downloaded Pulseman hours ago. 60hz version FTW.
Not sure about Secret Commando though.

slangman commented on Review: Pulseman (Virtual Console / Sega Mega ...:
@Iceknight - As hard as it is to believe Sega actually downgrade their imports to run in 50hz with borders. They also done this with Puyo Puyo 2, Gley Lancer and Columns III. The same thing will happen with MUSHA.

Great week! It's nice to see Europe didn't get screwed for once on the Wiiware pricing.
#7
slangman commented on Pulseman:
It's nice to see Sega are still downgrading their imports for europe.
#8
slangman commented on Nintendo of Europe Announces Upcoming Hanabi G...:
Nice Europe finally gets another Hanabi Festival. Too little too late though I recently bought myself a NA Wii, and I am sure Pulseman will come out soon in NA. I won't be downloading any more 50hz-fests.
#9
slangman commented on The Hanabi Festival Returns to Europe Next Month:
@Pj Yeah I can connect my US wii no problem. I don't use credit cards, but you can buy Wii points on ebay.com.
Although I have heard you can use credit cards if you set your settings to Brazil and switch back to US or Canada again if you want to download any VC games.
#10
slangman commented on The Hanabi Festival Returns to Europe Next Month:
Yay. Except most of those games came out in NA ages ago.
Shame the Mega Drive titles will be botched ports running in 50hz.
At least I just bought a US WII.
#11
slangman commented on Nintendo Download: Swords & Soldiers and Even ...:
Phew thank god theres a VC update. Not sure about S&S though.
#12
slangman commented on Family Pirate Party:
Those N64 water visuals look fantastic.
#13
slangman commented on Nintendo Download: Soccer, Pirates and Galaxie...:
How exciting. At least DSiWare isn't shovelware for once.
#14
slangman commented on Nintendo Download: Fantasy Zone II, Rainbow Is...:
Not bad. I might get Fantasy Zone II sometime. I quite liked Super Fantasy Zone. Maybe the last week of May is Hanabi. One can hope.
@PALgamer, i'll believe that when the PAL VC starts getting properly optimised games.
#15
slangman commented on Pop Plus: Solo:
This sounds like it will be better than the WIiware version. This game always sounded better suited to DS stylus controls. I hope this retains the same single player mode as the WiiWare version.
#16
slangman commented on Animal Crossing Calculator:
I already have a calculator at home and on my mobile phone. It seems Nintendo wants to create low quality shovelware, rather then create decent games nowadays, because people are more likely to buy this tripe then something that is great fun.
#17
slangman commented on Super Mario Kart:
I actually liked Super Circuit. I had this, although I prefer the N64 version.
#18
slangman commented on Nintendo Download: Clocks, Calculators, Pengui...:
Ugh, the worst update NA has ever had. I guess Nintendo is very happy to release shovelware on the DSiWare. It will sell well too, because it's Animal Crossing. Disgraceful.
#19
slangman commented on Nintendo Download: Bit.Trip Beat, Dr. Mario an...:
I hope this is not a one off. Great week for WiiWare, not that great for VC. The Arcade version is miles better. The mega drive version looks too basic now.
#20
slangman commented on Japanese Virtual Console list - May 2009:
Final Fantasy was already confirmed for May in Japan. Very lucklustre selection
#21
slangman commented on Mario Party 5:
Ugh one of the dullest games ever. The series went down hill after Mario Party 3.
#22
slangman commented on Review: Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals (Supe...:
Never even heard of this until I saw this review. Nintendo really needs to bring out more SNES on the VC.
#23
slangman commented on Nintendo Download: Dr. Mario, Wonder Boy, More...:
Well at least DSi and Wiiware is not too bad. But why is Wonder Boy III released as a single VC release?
#24
slangman commented on Nintendo Download: Alex Kidd, Secret Command a...:
I was expecting Life Force with Alex Kidd (not that I want it). A bit meh, but Secret Command might be ok. Too bad DSi Ware is getting shovelware already.
#25
slangman commented on Nintendo Download: 14 April 2009 (Japan):
I wonder why japan has to pay more for arcade titles. Meh they get Mega Drive titles on the cheap anyway, so it's not a huge loss.
#26
slangman commented on Nintendo Download: Bubble Bobble Plus! & More ...:
Still no Gradius, but at least this is one of the better Wiiware updates we have had for ages. And the less said about Family & Friends Party the better.
#27
slangman commented on Konami: VC Arcade Support and WiiWare Life Force:
Not sure about the other titles, but the Arcade version of Life Force would be fantastic. No need to bother waiting for the crippled 50hz NES version on VC now.
Salamander Rebirth sounds quite cool too.
#28
slangman commented on Review: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64):
A great score for such a fantastic game. One of the best N64 games. Only reason I don't plan on downloading is because I own the N64 version.
The Gamecube version sucks. Full of sound skipping on clock town. Thats enough for me to switch the game off.
#29
slangman commented on Nintendo Download: DSiWare, Equilibrio & Uncha...:
Wow no Majoras Mask, I was expecting it to be released in all regions quickly for some reason. Not sure what to think of this game though.
#30
slangman commented on Euro Update: DSiWare Launch Games and Majora's...:
A fantastic update. Not intreasted in DSiware since I don't want to buy a DSi, but I am glad Majora's Mask came out so quickly over here. Although I already own the N64 version, so I will have to pass for now at least.
#31
slangman commented on N64 GoldenEye on Virtual Console:
This was a fantasic game. Too bad it won't come to VC.
#32
slangman commented on Europe VC releases - 16th February:
Tis, was a great week indeed. Little did we know we would get just one game weeks in the later years.
#33
slangman commented on 12th January - PAL UK Virtual Console release ...:
One of europe's worst weeks.
#34
slangman commented on 60Hz for PAL Wii Virtual Console online petition:
Too bad
. I wish something was done about this 50hz problem.
#35
slangman commented on Australian Wii can download TurboGrafx-16 / PC...:
Nice comment. XD
#36
slangman commented on New UK Virtual Console releases for 15th December:
A shame Soloman's Key is a bad 50hz conversion. PAL needs better conversions indeed.
#37
slangman commented on New USA Virtual Console releases for 18th Dece...:
Not bad, Only Military Madness sounds interesting out out of the list though.
#38
slangman commented on USA VC Update: Super Punch-Out!!:
I am predicting a 5/10 score for Bonsai Barber.
#39
slangman commented on USA VC Update: Super Punch-Out!!:
Great week.
It's odd there are no arcade titles though.
#40
slangman commented on The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask:
Yeah I can understand how people don't like the time theme, although foe me it's one of the main reasons why I love this game.
#41
slangman commented on Capcom Mum Regarding Virtual Console Arcade Plans:
I wouldn't mind seeing Forgotten Worlds or Street Fighter Alpha 3. Strider would be cool too.
#42
slangman commented on Phantasy Star:
I might check out II after I buy this. Not sure about III. Although I hear this is the best in the series after IV.
#43
slangman commented on Japanese Virtual Console list - April 2009:
Hey just realised, Castlevania III. I wonder what version they are getting since the Japanese version has an improved music chip? Although I prefer the western version though.
#44
slangman commented on Phantasy Star:
Now THIS is a Master System game I would love to try out. I might give this a go since I liked Phantasy Star IV.
#45
slangman commented on The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask:
I love this game. This is one of my favourite games on the N64. I remember getting this back when I was 11. Although a bit short it makes up in challenge and side quests. I even spend a lot of time running around with different masks "Sigh"
#46
slangman commented on Japanese Virtual Console list - April 2009:
Wow great. Majoras Mask AND Phantasy Star. I hope the emulation is better then the gamecube version.
#47
slangman commented on EU WiiWare Update: Texas Hold'em Tournament:
Garbage. Another Wiiware game that looks like a N64 title. I doubt we would have gotten 2 Wiiware games this week anyway, because of VC arcade Even so, it's no excuse for this crap.
#48
slangman commented on Namco Announces Upcoming Arcade Games:
Wow, already tons of arcade are announced. Splatterhouse on the TG-16 is ok, but the arcade version sounds better,
#49
slangman commented on Final Fantasy IV:
Wow. I hope this does come out.
#50
slangman commented on Final Fantasy:
This is fantastic. I had doubts about this coming. Did this come to Europe?
