No it won't silly. It will be the european release with the music sped up to match the original. Nintendo cares avout vc quality!F-Zero X is going to be 50Hz, isn't it?

Legacy of Darkness contains Castlevania 64 as it's just an expanded version of that game with more stuff in it. I doubt they'd release both.
I know it's a joke but please stop feeding into that nonsense about slower music.
F-Zero X will not be 50Hz because the game wasn't translated. Stop panicking.
New themes for Europe this week:
Pretty sure those haven't been released in Japan yet. No doubt JoeM86 will correct me if I'm wrong
You're correct. Probably will be in Japan tomorrow night and the US Thursday
Edit: You could have poked me about this. I was too engrossed in Fullblox to notice the tweet
Hoorayy!
Just preparing for the worst, breh. Shibata giveth, Shibata taketh.

Why don't more of you UK Gaffers just import U.S. consoles? The 50/60 MHz thing would drive me mad after awhile, don't know how you can stand it.

It's pretty rare that it happens now, to be honest.

If the game doesn't support it in-game (games that do tend to be limited on where you can take screenshots) then you post on Miiverse.
Which means that if you don't have an NNID linked because being locked into one country sucks you are not worthy of posting screens.
Unless you mean the home menu in which case Y then follow the instructions on the top screen.
Maybe one day there will be a sensible screenshot function (in the 9.0 preview screens I had hoped that what it was rather than literally being only the home menu because people will buy themes if you show them off but not video games).
*-These last two are because some users are terrible. Kid Icarus has an AR mode (so someone posted porn, took them about 2 years to work that one out...) and Mario & Luigi had a weird framebuffer bug in v1.0 (people went nuts with animu spoilers, shrek in smash and cory in the house).
I got it, but how do you make a post on Miiverse? How can I share those screenshots on Facebook, do they need to be posted on Miiverse first?

No, I mean you can post screenshots on Facebook, Twitter or tumblr WITHOUT using Miiverse. It's a link you can access on the 3DS browser, https://i.nintendo.net, you can also access this link from the Home button on the top left of the Home screen (the one that allows you to change themes), just scroll down.
This link works really well on Wii U, that's how I do screen captures. On 3DS it's not as reliable, sometimes it doesn't work, if so you have to go through Miiverse.
To post on Miiverse, you have to have an account, there are tons of guides online, and then it's pretty easy: press the Home button when you want to capture, go to Miiverse, and it'll even suggest to post the capture. Then you can access Miiverse on a computer/tablet here: https://miiverse.nintendo.net/, login, find your post, right click and save.
That's really good to know, thank you!

It still does happen now and then though, just the possibility would be unacceptable for me.
Uh, doesn't this only work with images saved to the SD card already?

FYI: you can post screenshots of Mario and Luigi: Dream Team again. There was apparently a system update which fixed the framebuffer thing.
Yep, waiting for the PR to bring some joy to this morning!!!
Bought Stealth Inc 2 yesterday and enjoyed the bit that I played (no more than 20 minutes).

Bit weird they annouced the new Pokemon themes yesterday despite it being a bank holiday...
After that long bank holidays, they probably are hangover at work.

They were, yeah.
Starwolf_UK

They were (unless NOE are lying again like they were with Wave Race 64*) so yay more 50Hz shit for the N64.
*-In that case their lie was the opposite saying the game was English only when it is not.
edit: Thats what I get for adding words

Yoshi's Story was translated, yes. 100% sure. (just look at German box arts, they always have the yellow box saying "Deutscher Bildschirmtext" on it)
Kirby I don't know. It has a multilingual box art (Kirby was always a second-class citzen in EU).
Oh wait, I just forgot my own tip from a few weeks ago. Check emulator sites! And I just did that. No languages specified. Looks like it's English-only then.
Yoshi Story => PAL 50Hz
Kirby 64 => NTSC 60HZ
Are you sure (about Kirby)? I'm not trusting Nintendo's website right now
Checked some video, the game doesn't have any language options during boot up. Unless it's hidden under the options menu it really is English only.
Robin64

Nope, I only went by the website. I assumed it would be accurate. Apparently not!
Why did I assume it would be accurate..?
yeah even if it was tied to the amiibos or something would be good (although I guess theres no way for them to do that at the moment).
What happened?
Robin64

The eShop and webpage info for Epic Yarn say you can use the GamePad as a controller. In fact, you can't.
So if you buy the game not knowing this you can ask for a refund? (but keep the game?) I was thinking about getting the game yesterday... mmmm hahaha (no, I won't try that, just curious about what happened ;D)
terrisus

If it's anything like my refund of Myst on the 3DS eShop (also for erroneous listing), the game gets completely deleted from your account and system when the refund is issued.
Pretty sure they'd remotely delete it in that case
That's what I thought it would happen, thanks!
Anyway, still no PR about this week releases and sales? (besides the screenshots provided by Phazon)
I'm hoping Sega releases their hardware themes (they said something about licensing & such), because I would love to make use of the random option. But right now, it's just Famicom Memories thanks to a GAF member who kindly sent me a code.
& yeah, I still can't believe we haven't gotten Badge Center yet. It sounded like something we'd get within the same month. Maybe they're trying to figure out the pricing or something? Whatever the case, I would really like to get some new folder icons, especially since there's a NES & GB icon that I can put on my folders containing said games.
TheMoon
Member
What more do you need?! That is the PR.
Jo Shishido's Cheeks

Those NES and GB icons are the main reasons I want it!
The lack of badges for other systems would probably drive me mad over time but it's a risk I'm willing to take.
UK prices.
You can guess them in most cases but it'd be nice to be sure.

Just now reading through this list...
It sucks that most of the games I want are in the unbolded Nintendo category. Also, Quest 64 is one of my favorite N64 games (despite, as you said, it's reputation). Aidyn Chronicles is another game I'd love to see, but I doubt that will EVER see the light of day.
terrisus
Member
Indeed, Quest 64 is a fun little game.
And Aidyn Chronicles is absolutely amazing. Have sunk multiple 100+ hour save files into that.
(They would need to fix the random save file corruptions in Aidyn Chronicles though. I always kept multiple save files just in case, but still)
It's not that easy, though. Is there any important in-game text in Yoshi's Story? Because otherwise there is a fair chance we will still receive the US version, as we did with other platformers in the past that have been translated originally (Super Mario 64, DKC1+3).
TheMoon
Member
Ah right. Sorry, I forgot about those.
Sure, that's also a possibility. Maybe they're thinking about audience. They seem to position Yoshi games as babygames (literally kind of lol) so they might want to put out localized versions to include younger buyers as opposed to older players who can be expected to get along fine with the English-only version.
So basically ... VC roulette
