To be clear, television standards (like PAL) are used by televisions and devices that connect to televisions like video game consoles.
Handheld systems do not use a television standard, which is why there are no PAL 3DS games, because there are no PAL (or NTSC) 3DS systems.
All 3DS systems have a native refresh rate of 60 Hz, no matter what country they were released in.
Yes this is all true but the games released in that region have different clear cases and artwork (at least the few I have come across)so I think this is the reason wowgek7 wants to classify them separately.I’m not sure if any of this affects the price or rarity of said games but they are different.
They still aren't PAL games, though. They are European releases. The full list that snyderec3 even classifies them in that manner.
Yes absolutely I do understand this I was just stating I understand his thought process them being different in some ways and wonder if it would affect value or rarity in some circumstances if they were recognized as being different.
Don't we already have a seperate category for pal 3ds games though?
That being said if I had to guess what tripredacus means is that they should be called european games not Pal.
My counterpoint to this however is that many european collectors call them pal games even if the tv standard is irrelevant after certain era's. And this even applies to modern current gen releases.
while tripredacus is technically correct, them being called pal games has been pretty normalized among many in the european collecting scene. I'd argue far more popular than calling them european games. heck even sites like price charting list console games like the switch ps5 as PAL. it just sounds better/ easier as pal instead of european releases. it's just a thing that carried over from past times and remained popular, nothing more nothing less
2nd response is avoiding the topic starter's original question however as in getting a full list of pal or european 3ds games. We don't always have to have stuff be 100% correct. Everyone knew what the guy was talking about. why are we focussing so much energy on such an insignificant detail
