[squirt1000]

Today we have.......

NES
Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link

SNES
Super Mario World

Turbografx
Vigilante

Sigh, still no Zelda LTTP but at least SMW is worth a pop

Not a bad few classics there !

Be patient on the Zelda LTTP front ... its comming ...

The first two have been released now so not long !

 

[Opium]

Super Mario World.

I'll gladly buy the best platformer ever created again

I'll pick it up in the next few days.

Is Mario World 50hz optimised or does it have the borders and run slow? That's a deal breaker to me

 

[coops024]

Just my two pence guys ! (cos im English)

Teh whole arguement surrounding the speed and screen size of the PAL rergion VC games compared to the rest of the world !

I and many others I guess grew up playing these games when they were first released. When I owned them the first time around I had no choice but to play the PAL region games on my NES or SNES so that will be how I remember the games.

If I bought Super Mario World and it ran faster ... I'd be like

WTF is going on here this isnt the game I played as a child !!

So my view is this (and feel free to disagree) If you want to play these games at a faster speed ! Move to America or Japan

 

[Opium]

I'm actually used to the GBA version which I assume is the fast version. I hope the VC SMW isn't slow

In a perfect world there would be an option to play at 50 or 60Hz so everyone would be happy. Why Nintendo can't just add this is beyond me. You know it makes sense Nintendo!

Thats true actually ! it wouldnt take that much for Nintendo to implement it !

Come on Ninty choice is good !

Whoopdee doo, 50hz Mario World.

If you're stupid enough to like buying and playing crippled versions of your games, go ahead and spend your points on them. Just because Nintendo screwed us over the first time the games were released, doesn't mean we should bend over and let them do it a second time.

No word yet on http://www.vc-reviews.com/review/279/super-mario-world.php as to the speed Mario runs at. Hopefully it will be 50hz optimised and I'm sure that review will be updated shortly with the info. Vigilante will be 60hz so no worries there.

The wikipedia list of European VC releases lists is as 'Yes', meaning it has borders, and is un-optimised.
