Super Metroid framerate

[algorhythm]

Hey everyone,

I just bought Super Metroid on my NTSC Wii (I loved this game when I was younger!)

But when I booted it up, the game runs TERRIBLY. The game runs so bad that when Samus gets hit, she doesn't blink, but disappears! If I shoot, sometimes the bullets don't appear because they flash also, and they apparently skip the visual frame and only show the hidden frame.

I have Ecco for Genesis and Paper Mario for N64 and these both run fine.. it's just Super Metroid.

What can I do?

Contact Nintendo customer support, and describe the complaint. Also check the Wii Shop for an update, although since you've just downloaded the game, it's unlikely there will be one.

The other games you mention aren't SNES titles. Do you have another SNES game to compare?

And if all else fails, delete and re-download the game. Probably best to do this before you contact Nintendo, actually, as it'll probably be the first thing they tell you to do!

Yep I do, forgot to mention I have Legend of Zelda: LTTP.

Deleted and redownloaded twice. No good. Called Nintendo, they are issuing a tech support callback within 2-3 days with more technical help.

Nintendo has very nice customer support, I found out.

Yes, Nintendo in North America has excellent customer support. Our lot over here aren't brilliant though.

Let us know if your problem gets fixed.
