PAL Virtual Console games are gimped, and Kotakuite Lloyd, from the UK, is upset. Taking the law into his own hands, he sent a tersely worded letter to Nintendo UK complaining about the state of affairs, and received this vague response:
Dear Customer, thank you for your e-mail.
It is only Sega games and F-Zero that have not been converted. As far as I am aware all the others are OK.
Kind regards,
Your Nintendo Team
That's surprising, as aside from a couple of Hudson titles the only reports we'd heard were that all PAL games had been castrated. The champagne is on hold for now, though, because "As far as I am aware" doesn't exactly qualify as confirmation in my books.
Any PAL Kotakuites out there who have dabbled in the Virtual Console (specifically Nintendo titles), let us know which games are letterboxed and slow, and which are getting the full-screen, full-speed NTSC action. It'd be nice for someone to have a complete record of this
