European Balloon Fight Updated To 60HZ

balloon_fight_bead_art

Nintendo Europe has revealed that the next eShop update on Thursday will see the original 50HZ Balloon Fight finally updated to 60HZ. The game is an updated European version of the game and has now been optimised to run at a similar speed to the US version and with corrected aspect ratio. Looks as though people’s voices on Miiverse were finally heard.

    1. A NES game ? lol …

      60HZ is the refresh rate of your TV or the software. FPS is completely different.

      For example all your Wiiu games will be running at 60HZ , but the framerate differs from game to game. 50HZ completely distorts the appearance of FPS as it is refreshing slower than 60HZ.

    2. what does this mean for people like me who already bought the 50hz pal version? will it update the game when played next time into the 60hz version? or do we need to delete and re-download it, so that it we now have the new 60hz version? please if some one knows i would appreciate the info!

  1. Awesome. Miiverse is amazing , so much potential for this sort of interaction with Devs in the future. Jools watsham of Renegade kid is asking people what sort of DLC they should put on the game. It’s awesome when you think about it.

      I’ve communicated with multiple devs on Miiverse. I was asking why Zenpinball doesn’t hav e a 3d option on Wii u. He said they never really thought about it…….okay.

      1. Nintendo is for man child's

        Too bad they’re shit, they have been shit since 2006 and they will continue to be shit. They keep on sucking and catching up. Nintendo can kiss their consumers asses all they want but we all clearly know Playstation will always be superior.

          1. Nintendo is for man child's

            Lol nope. It’s a fact. Playstation has better online, more 3rd party support, a more powerful console, bigger fanbase and is more relevant. It’s clear that Playstation is the best.

            1. The only thing Sony is good at doing is throwing a bunch of specs in a box. Their exclusives aren’t worth shit anymore.

                1. Wow dude. 1 game. I just love it when Ellie walks in front of an enemy and is apparently invisible. Great AI right there. ;) It’s an awesome game though.

                  1. MrPSElite (Neutron)

                    Uncharted, God of War, inFamous, Sly Cooper, Twisted Metal, Heavy Rain, Gran Turismo, Ratchet & Clank, Killzone, Resistance. Sony exclusives crush anything from the Mario Milk Crew at Nintendo.

                    1. Pikmin, Metroid, Star Fox, F-Zero, Kirby, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, Mario, Zelda, Ice Climbers, there are plenty more where those came from.

            2. Nintendo has a bigger fanbase than Sony, xbox and PC combined. Don’t ever get that twisted. Even great grand parents in the mother lands of China, Africa and Israel know who the super Mario brothers are. People of all ages know nintendo. Tell another lie.

              1. MrPSElite (Neutron)

                BUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLSHHHHHHHHHIIIITTTT!

                Nintendo has a bigger fanbase than all the other platforms combined?!

                Can you say D-E-L-U-S-I-O-N-A-L?! Delusional!!!!!!!!

  2. I’ll be having fun with this… Might feel a difference when I’m playing Balloon Trip, but I’ll adjust well to it.

      1. WHAT!!!!! You can troll about Mario, you can troll about Animal Crossing, but you don’t troll about Pikmin!! If you haven’t played the games you are missing out.

  3. yes!!!! finally nintendo answers us. WE GET BALLOON FIGHT UPDATED TO 60HZ, YES!!!!! how about fatal frame 4 or something????? whats that shit WE GET BALLOON FIGHT UPDATED TO 60HZ!!!!! really nintendo fans are fucking stupid, go rot in a hole, ill be a normal fan and try to make your system look good while you clamor for shit. cant believe how much people give a damn about this crap, a shitty game. wonder why everyone thinks nintendo fans are a joke.

    1. Nintendo is for man child's

      OMG 60hz! It’s the second coming of Christ! Fuck mother 4, Mario sunshine 2, Star fox and Fzero! 60hz is what we want!!! Oh Nintendo!! You do so much for us!

      1. NINTENDO FANS MAKE ME SICK!!! (PUKES) ITS LIKE THEY WANT THEIR SYSTEM TO HAVE SHIT!!!!! am i a hater NOOOO im speaking the TRUTH you dumb fuckers!!!!! the most normal nintendo fans that try to make their system look good are the haters!!!!!! because we give a damn about good games and not just worthless shit like this!!!! (spit) you guys are pathetic and im not joking!!!!!! are you trying to be made fun of, now we know why!!!!!! you guys will always get so called trolled by people who are more willing to make their consoles have better games than this updated shit for a crappy game!!!!!!

        1. While I don’t agree with the over reaction , I agree with your point , Nintendo should have removed that gamepad and put more money on power so those 3rd party developers will have no fucking excuse for not bringing their games for the wii u

      2. You guys have fucking complained about it when it was 50hz and said it was shit , they respond and change it , you still fucking complaining .

    2. balloon fight is a classic arcade game where, millions of dollars were made 1quarter at a time. its not a bad game, just ridiculously difficult. u have to be pretty damn hardcore to excel at the game,and for $.30 u couldnt pass it up, however for $5 meh rather buy megaman.

    1. MrPSElite (Neutron)

      Ohhh! They made the game the way it should have been in the first place! YAY NINTENDO!!!!

      You drones are pathetic.

        1. Stand down fool. Prepare to be invaded by the Sony Legion Army.

          Greatness awaits and who are you to deny greatness?!

          1. A Sonyan General, how repulsive to see one here…

            That reminds me…

            Don’t you and your entire legion have an Xbot Armada to deal with?…

            Considering they recovered and counter-attacked you all from the devastation your leader Jack Tretton caused at E3…

            Maybe you should pull back your forces before they overrun your precious Dominion…

  4. Arnold Swollenpecker

    How in gods name do you put a lamp on a piece of furniture in animal crossing?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    1. Of course the Wii U is going to win this generation. This is NINTENDO we are talking about! They won last gen with the Wii so it only goes uphill from here. 💋

      1. lol Try telling that to everyone in the comment section… “Nintendo rehashes and gimmicks and they make the same thing over and over again!” They never learn.

          1. I have just watched a walkthrough video from the last of us and I have to say , it’s a great game but whoever gave it a 10/10 is on drugs , I mean maybe 8.5 – 9 but no , not 10 , that is my opinion .

              1. MrPSElite (Neutron)

                Show me all these games that will be instant classic masterpieces like The Last of Us. There sure as hell are none coming to the Wii U.

                1. Duuuuude having a movie as a game doesn’t make it an instant masterpiece . I am sure I am gonna have fun playing it but it’s far from being a masterpiece .
                  For me a masterpiece is something like zelda oot , something like mario galaxy , something like shadow of the colluseum (( did I spell it right ? )) anyway you get my point

      2. MrPSElite (Neutron)

        Yeah that’s not how it works. Past successes don’t equal future successes. Anybody with a straight thinking brain would know PS4 will be the winner of this generation.

  6. Am I the only one who loves Nintendo just as much as Sony’s consoles? Why this stupid ass war even to this day? :/ I just love games in general and will buy whatever consoles I need to play them.

    1. Several reasons to why the “Console Wars” exists although most do it because it’s fun…

      Only a small minority actually hates other consoles (Xbox accepted)…

      And to clarify my position when it comes to the Sony Dominion, I don’t really have any problems with most of their games but they just don’t interest me…

      Except Little Big Planet perhaps and so on…

      It’s their arrogance I don’t like…

      1. MrPSElite (Neutron)

        Not interested in Sony games? Nintendo Commander confirmed as a casual! By the way, we’re called Sony Legion, not Dominion.

            1. This. Unlike them, Nintendo never abandons a majority of their popular IP’s. I can already name a few that Sony killed off like Parappa, Medi Evil, ect.

  7. I love Miiverse and it has to be one of the best gaming communities and typical it being Nintendo! Nintendo see your comments, listen to us and always tend to fix the problems! :D. Pretty awesome considering if we did not want it, they wouldn’t of bothered
