PAL Wii Virtual Console games run in bordered 50Hz

On the positive side VGB says that: Virtual Console games run at 50Hz, just as they used to for PAL gamers back on their original systems in the 80's and 90's. Playing them as they always were in Europe and Australia can be a fun and nostalgic experience.

On the negative side Prog discovered: Sega's Mega Drive classic Sonic The Hedgehog shows the Virtual Console games on the Wii run noticeably slower than the NTSC version and features sizeable borders at the top and bottom of the screen. Even switching the console to 60Hz doesn't change this. (Sonic the Hedgehog, Wii)
