Yeah this game is still technically amazing now which ever version you have! I wish it was on the US VC.

[SuperBeatBoy]

remember those awful gba ports. bleeeeh

i for one will be picking up dkc, i love it. one of my fav platformers, was so excited when it first came out.

[Samiad]

Is anyone else as gutted as me that these are supposedly the original PAL roms (as expected)? This means 50hz, bordered and slow!

[Angelo]

Think I feel more gutted that all VC games dont fix themselves to 4:3 on a 16:9 screen - having to toggle between the two makes me slightily more pissed then a slow game being slower

[Keith]

I knew that going to painstaking lengths to get a US console would be worth it.

I hope DKC comes out on the US VC soon though - I loved that. Although I'd be happier if the second one came out for it, since it was the best'n.

That is because they are outputting in their original native resolution, which is a good thing.

Agreed...

I survived playing 50hz PAL games at the time in my youth and im sure I can survive again and still enjoy them without moaning

The widescreen stretching issue is a pain in the ass though, if it's part of the emulator and not the ROM itself it should be patchable if Nintendo listen...

Any non-widescreen game like Trauma Center will do it too =/

The stretching issue is better than the alternative. If the games were not being output like they are you would lose quality.
