Pretty sure PAL supports 60Hz these days. On the other hand, apparently Virtual Console games on PAL Wii Us are still 50Hz. |
PAL and NTSC are standards for analog TV, we're using DVB almost everywhere now. My PAL CRT TV from the mid 90s was capable of 60Hz and I had modded consoles to output 60Hz.
The Wii U can only output 60Hz, but PAL VC games are 50Hz. They're running slower and every fifth frame has to be duplicated (what results in jerkiness).
And they did strange things like DKC 1&3 being the 60Hz NTSC versions and DKC 2 being the 50Hz PAL version.
