Nintendo of Europe has released the official packshot for Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and suprisingly it contains a 60Hz only warning. This means European gamers will only be able to play the game if they own a 60Hz TV. Gamers who own an older TV will only be able to play the game in black and white or not at all even.

This news comes as quite a surprise as normally, when a game supports 60Hz, the gamer gets to choose whether they want to play in 50Hz or 60Hz. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is the first game to only support the higher refresh rate.

We advice everybody who is planning in buying Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, thus everybody, to check his TV manual to see if it supports 60Hz. If it doesn't you may want to have to plunder your bank account or persuade your parents into buying a new TV.
