Thankfully, Konami and MercurySteam eventually agreed on a new Castlevania for the 3DS, which we now know as Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate. Before the deal was signed, though, there was a strong possibility that MercurySteam would have been forced to close.

According to Castlevania producer David Cox:

Good news, European gamers: the next Wii U Virtual Console release from Nintendo, F-Zero, will run at 60Hz.

Balloon Fight was the first VC release for the platform but ran at 50Hz, resulting in outcry from fans. Such games run slower and simply aren’t the way they were intended to be presented.

Thankfully, this is something players won’t have to worry about with F-Zero.
