I see alot of bitching, but can anyone give a reason for this??? It seems ridiculous to do extra coding to make a game look worse.  Or have I simplified it too much?  I just can't fathom a reason any company would do this.  I thought alot of T.V.'s over there ran at 50-55 Hz? Could this be a cause?

They didn't do extra coding to make it look worse. Apparently what they did was simply use the NTSC rendering code in the PAL version, using black bars in the extra resolution lines that PAL has over NTSC. And of course they made it run slower at 50 Hz, meaning that the game is using less of the Wii's power (same resolution, lower framerate).

So what we're really seeing here is a lazy "conversion" which is bested by even a lot of shovelware games for the Wii.

 

....Wow, that sucks.  Hopefully won't affect sales much, but shame on Sega for corner cutting.
