If you've been crossing your fingers for Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition in the expectation of it receiving a PAL-optimised conversion, you can unbend them and start using them to type vitriolic comments now – the package will not be 60Hz compatible.

Below is the response reader XD375 received when enquiring with Nintendo Customer Service:

We have now received a response to your enquiry from our European head office. Unfortunately, the European version of Super Mario All-Stars runs the games at 50Hz and not 60Hz.


Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition lands in Europe on December 3rd.


DOH! >.<

50hz? Well done Nintendo. As if the package wasn't a big enough rip off as it is. :shame


I came very close to buying that, though mainly from a collector point of view, I am however going to boycott that version and buy an NTSC version when money allows. It will definitely remain sealed now.
