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.
@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.
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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"
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.

Re: Nintendo Download: MUSHA, Smash Table Tennis, My Life as a Darklord and Puzzle League (EU)
Great update, MLAADL looks great. MUSHA is a fantastic shooter, although it's a shame the PAL version will be another 50hz fest.
Re: Ant Nation
Sounds like a Pikmin style game. I will keep my eye on this one.
Re: Nintendo Download: Bits, Tanks, Ants, Commandos, Pulses and Brains (US)
Great update alround. I downloaded Pulseman hours ago. 60hz version FTW. Not sure about Secret Commando though.

Re: Nintendo Download: Hanabi Festival 4, Gradius Rebirth, Bit Boy!!, Brain Challenge and Mario Apps (EU)
Great week! It's nice to see Europe didn't get screwed for once on the Wiiware pricing.
Re: Pulseman
It's nice to see Sega are still downgrading their imports for europe.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Announces Upcoming Hanabi Games
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.

Re: 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.
Re: Nintendo Download: Swords & Soldiers and Even More Magic Tricks
Phew thank god theres a VC update. Not sure about S&S though.
Re: Family Pirate Party
Those N64 water visuals look fantastic.
Re: Nintendo Download: Soccer, Pirates and Galaxies (US)
How exciting. At least DSiWare isn't shovelware for once.
Re: Nintendo Download: Fantasy Zone II, Rainbow Islands and More Magic (EU)
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.
Re: 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.

Re: Super Mario Kart
I actually liked Super Circuit. I had this, although I prefer the N64 version.

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.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - May 2009
Final Fantasy was already confirmed for May in Japan. Very lucklustre selection
Re: Mario Party 5
Ugh one of the dullest games ever. The series went down hill after Mario Party 3.
Re: Review: Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals (Super Nintendo)
Never even heard of this until I saw this review. Nintendo really needs to bring out more SNES on the VC.
Re: Nintendo Download: Dr. Mario, Wonder Boy, More Magic Tricks and Crystal Defenders
Well at least DSi and Wiiware is not too bad. But why is Wonder Boy III released as a single VC release?
Re: Nintendo Download: Alex Kidd, Secret Command and Mixed Messages (EU)
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.
Re: 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.
Re: Nintendo Download: Bubble Bobble Plus! & More WiiWare Goodies (EU)
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.
Re: 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.
Re: 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.
Re: Nintendo Download: DSiWare, Equilibrio & Uncharted Waters (US)
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.
Re: Euro Update: DSiWare Launch Games and Majora's Mask
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.
Re: N64 GoldenEye on Virtual Console
This was a fantasic game. Too bad it won't come to VC.
Re: 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.
Re: 12th January - PAL UK Virtual Console release - Xevious
One of europe's worst weeks.
Re: 60Hz for PAL Wii Virtual Console online petition
Too bad . I wish something was done about this 50hz problem.
Re: Australian Wii can download TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine from Wii Shop
Nice comment. XD
Re: New UK Virtual Console releases for 15th December
A shame Soloman's Key is a bad 50hz conversion. PAL needs better conversions indeed.
Re: New USA Virtual Console releases for 18th December
Not bad, Only Military Madness sounds interesting out out of the list though.
Re: USA VC Update: Super Punch-Out!!
I am predicting a 5/10 score for Bonsai Barber.
Re: USA VC Update: Super Punch-Out!!
Great week. It's odd there are no arcade titles though.
Re: 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.
Re: Capcom Mum Regarding Virtual Console Arcade Plans
I wouldn't mind seeing Forgotten Worlds or Street Fighter Alpha 3. Strider would be cool too.
Re: 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.
Re: 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.
Re: 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.
Re: 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"
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - April 2009
Wow great. Majoras Mask AND Phantasy Star. I hope the emulation is better then the gamecube version.
Re: 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.
Re: 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,
Re: Final Fantasy IV
Wow. I hope this does come out.
Re: Final Fantasy
This is fantastic. I had doubts about this coming. Did this come to Europe?
