Nintendo solidifies 60Hz support for Wii U Virtual Console with launch of Punch-Out!!

Nintendo will launch the US 60Hz version of Punch-Out!!, the next Wii U Virtual Console release in Europe.

The decision follows fan fury at the inferior 50Hz version of Balloon Fight launched on the PAL eShop in January.

Nintendo of Europe subsequently shifted to the US 60Hz version of F-Zero last month, a policy it is evidently continuing.

Punch-Out!! launches on Wii U eShop this Thursday, priced just 30p (€0.30).

I just want widescreen support for the Virtual Console games on Wii U. And a trophy system would be awesome for replaying all these games.

Now this is what I call a "system seller." Watch out world, Nintendo is back baby!!!

30p is a bit steep, it should really only be 20p

[riverstars86]

I hope you are kidding, Nintendo should sell this game for £30. It is a bargain at even that price.

Is 10hz really a deal breaker for an NES game?

[PopRocks359]

If it's running better, for those living in the UK who want these games it probably is.

yup nintendo is doomed, who gives a crap about this old relic game, hasn't it been released OVER AND OVER on the gamecube and wii????
damnnnnn nintendo, enough with the rehashes

[riverstars86]

Punch Out is going to sell more than every PS4 and 720 game combined. Get with it infamouz1, you must be delusional or living in a cave.
