thread: Wii Party

Hi, I would like to start off by apologizing since I'm one of the people who uploaded my recent run as an emulator a few days ago. I'm going to try and remove the run I posted that was done on emulator since I'm in agreement on the topic of emulators having an unfair advantage.

My reason for coming back to Wii Party is for a casual return to the game while at the same time trying to see if I could improve my in-game records I had long ago. During my time coming back to play Wii Party, I did realize something that there is something I just knew about a little while ago that I would say is unfair in my opinion, and maybe I thought this would also be worth sharing here.

Depending on if you play Wii Party on PAL50, PAL60, or NTSC, there are some minigames with higher records that can only be achieved if you play Wii Party on PAL 50Hz on your console. Minigames like Space Race / Cosmic Capers, Bobsled Highway, Jumbo Jump, and possibly a few more minigames have the biggest advantage running in 50fps since these minigames have scores and times that are most likely impossible to get when playing Wii Party at 60fps.

Maybe this has already been mentioned, and not much is or can be done about it, or people don't know about it, but I think this is worth sharing. I don't know if it's too late to suggest something like having a leaderboard and separating runs between Wii Party running at 50Hz vs 60Hz. That was why I played Wii Party on the PAL version on my Space Race run; it was the only way to reach at least 18 seconds or below. Even on the Jumbo Jump minigame, the only way to legitimately get the max score of 464m is to get the PAL version of the game and run it at 50Hz on console.

This probably may not affect runs with RGT, but definitely some scores and runs with IGT for some minigames have the bigger advantage at 50Hz instead of 60Hz. This is based on what I've learned so far since I have both the NTSC and PAL versions of the game. But what do you guys think?
