Bad news for Europe

If you've been crossing your fingers for Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition in the expectation of it receiving a PAL-optimised conversion, you can unbend them and start using them to type vitriolic comments now – the package willnot be 60Hz compatible.

Below is the response reader XD375 received when enquiring with Nintendo Customer Service:

We have now received a response to your enquiry from our European head office. Unfortunately, the European version of Super Mario All-Stars runs the games at 50Hz and not 60Hz.

If you're not sure why PAL 50Hz is a problem, our article Talking Point: The Virtual Console's PAL Problem could be enlightening.

Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition lands in Europe on December 3rd.

Thanks to XD375 for the tip.

Seriously Nintendo why the fuck did you do this?

It is less what they did, and more that they didn't do is my guess. The game is straight off the VC. Rather than giving a new game for the 25th anniversary they just repackaged an old one in a straight port.

Words fail me.

Was it that hard to enable the game to 60hz?

Nothing new about Nintendo being lazy.  What's the suprise there.  Bigger issue for me is why is Super Mario World not included?

Next year.. Super Mario all stars 2 = 60 Hz?

You can get Super mario world on VC anyway.

Yes?  You can get Mario 1 to 3 on VC can't you?

The NES versions. The remakes have a bit more than cosmetic differences, especially Lost Levels. Also this collection is not merely All-Stars.

This package is just lazy. If they were serious about this they would at least have included a Wiimote enhanced Sunshine

Lazy is not the same as leaving out one game you wanted in a compilation.
