I actually like the original slowdown... The credits scene is completely off with the music (funny how Koji Kondo and Hajime Wakai took the slowdown into account when composing the credits theme), and the Macbeth fuel bunker explosion is so much more dramatic with the slowdown... As for the other levels... the slowdown doesn't really affect the game that much.

That's just me...

i'd like to see all of the games taking advantage of the better hardware and getting rid of slowdown. gunstar heroes is one game that i personally feel would be much better if the slowdown were removed.

sorry for the double post, but i forgot to mention gunstar is a fantastic game (one of my all time favorites) and i didn't mean to imply it wasn't good by saying it would be better without slowdown.

Not sure if anyone else noticed it - but during multiplayer - when an opposing ship came at your windshield straight-on and incredibly closely stars seemed to appear around the ship - there appeared to be slow down - almost like a snapshot for you to see this model....HAs anyone else notcied this? or is it just nostalgia of far too many multi-player sessions with this game ?

This should be possible to confirm. Just save the original StarSchmuck 64 to an SD card then download the update. Play a few scenes with slowdown (posssibly by ignoring enemies so that it can be reproduced) and then play the same version with the original download. Make sure both versions were recorded and then compare.

It's too much trouble for me, but certainly some nerdy type out there has the spare time to do this.

Here's a horror story:
We actually (against all odds) get Perfect Dark, yet it still lags with 4p multiplayer.

In other news, my friend and I played through Contra3 and that lags something awful for no reason whatsoever.

kirby lagged AND some tiles were different colours for me

I'm willing to bet I know what it does, or at least what it BETTER do.

When I was playing through aquas as the blue marine, in the N64 version I can fire just as fast if not faster than as an arwing, however when I tried to do the same on the Wii, I found I was only getting about 1/3 the shots off I was supposed to be getting. Here's hoping the fix works.

I just tried the updated star fox and the slow down has been added back. When I used the turbo button on my gamecube controller before it would always fire normal shots but now it fires charged shots whenever there is an explosion or lots of enemies. I kinda like the historical accuracy of the game especially since the games were designed around such hardware delays.

I did notice that Star Fox had an update in the shop, but I haven't gotten it yet. I already have a backup on SD, maybe I'll try it..
