IGN's article.

Finally, it's making it's way to Wii consoles on August 20 (US release date) after almost a year of delay. There's no new info yet but at least we know when it's coming.

Edit: Oh, and:

Slick.

It's seriously coming out in August!? I was expecting a release date in November or somewhere in the fall when most of the good games come out.

Yeah, fuck you too.

Yeah, fuck you too.

You do realize that your "superior format" is costing you quite a few games, yeah? Good.

Ehh, it doesnt really matter. I'm not really that into games anymore, I only really get time to play on a few emulated ones now and again. And I'd rather not shell out £200+ for a new console and games when I could spend it on better things. ____________________ Who needs a signature, anyway?

If Less Frames per second/Hz = superior then go play Pong.

The difference between 50 and 60 FPS is not something the human eye can detect. PAL also has considerably higher resolution than NTSC. Really, do your homework before you make your snide comments...

I can see that fast.

Yep. Not lying one bit. I can really see that fast.

Really.

I'm excited, can't wait. It's going to rock.

Given that I use the 60Hz setting, as two of my Gamecube games cannot run in any other setting due to damage.. Hell.. Try fighting the Metroid Prime with a screen that breaks. Not easy. Metroid Prime, is the first of the damaged discs. >> I'm also wanting Prime 3.. and hoping they don't dare put a boss like the Totem Hive again.. Unless my game just bugged up a lot.. >> ____________________

How about we stop making fun of the Europeans, there's really no point to it. Seriously. And I'm not even from Europe.

Anyway, to the real point of this thread...

w00t for Metroid Prime 3!

Itinerary for 8/20/2007:
-Wake up at Midnight
-Go to Wal-Mart
-Shell out $50
-Go home and play 'til the cows come home... which'll be a while.

Um, yes, it is. The eye sees at basically 60 fps. It'd be a small difference, but it is detectable by the human eye.

Yeah, I can usually notice a depreciation of 10 fps in a game.

Also, Europe sucks. If youruope didn't suck so bad they'd play football and drink lighter beer!

but canadians have the best beer, and US release dates so ha!

anyways, PAL games when they do have glitches, they aren't usually as fun as the NTSC ones, an example would be

THE BLACK HOLE SSBM GLITCH MUHAHAHAHA

Nintendo left it in the japanese and NTSC ones, but took it out of the PAL version

What the hell? I never realized 50hz and 60hz translated to FPS.

	I'm going to explain the differences between PAL and NTSC. The TV image is made up of horizontal lines. (PAL has considerably more lines than NTSC - 100 more to be exact - meaning a much higher resolution and quality of image) To create a moving image, only half of the fields are shown at either time. The TV then switches to the other half of lines to create the moving image, this happens at each frame, creating a smooth image. This doesnt happen in NTSC, which compensates with more individual frames per second. Which is why when you convert from 25fps PAL to 30fps NTSC on Adobe Premiere for example, you get the zig-zaggy 'teeth' effect in the video. This can be blended out by de-interlacing the footage (interlacing and de-interlacing video is also how conversions between PAL and NTSC are possible). Yeah, it's been a while since I studied this in my 4 year film production course, but I can still remember most of the details. ____________________ Who needs a signature, anyway?
