PS1 games on PS5 that were PAL on other regions are NTSC versions in Japan

That bodes well for the US and what not but how about allowing people stuck with PAL versions the ability to download NTSC versions?
Of course, they are the only versions with japanese language, why would they get the European versions?
Wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the world still gets PAL versions.

Ok now give everyone NTSC and pretend this whole mess never happened.
Signed, someone from a PAL region.

It's good, but that kind of has to be the case because Japan actually requires Japanese language.
As mentioned in the other thread, the Japanese PlayStation classic also had NTSC games, while the rest of the releases had PALā¦ obviously because the only versions with Japanese language in them are NTSC.
Wouldn't be surprised at all of the same thing happens here.

I'm very out of the loop on this info, why do people think they'll use PAL games for the US? (or places that weren't PAL)
edit: Oh, the playstation classic in the US had PAL games? that's stupid

Because they have rolled out PAL games on PS+ Premium in other NTSC countries already. The PlayStation Classic (the mini console) used (some) PAL games in all non-Japan regions (including the US) and people are seeing the writing on the wall basically, based on how they dealt with those games.

That doesn't seem likely because a lot of PAL games didn't have more than one language per SKU.
The PS Classic isn't really a good comparison because that is something they actually had to sell world wide (in the two versions of it they sold) so that likely did have more complications around game licensing whereas these are all only sold based on the region of your PSN account.
Japan is not free from PAL here though. As with the initial Asia regions they have the PAL versions of the Worms games.
"Good" news - no, because the PS4 and PS5 don't output 50Hz so the PAL games get crammed into 60Hz resulting in constant frame pacing issues or frame blending that results in ghosting.
Nah, almost all of the classic games don't have multi language options, even the PAL versions. I think it's only Everybody's Golf that does in fact.
Ape Escape, Jumping Flash, Syphon Filter etc are all just English. France, Italy, Germany, Spain had their own releases of most PS1 games with their own languages in.
It's a myth that PAL releases had multi language support. SOME did, but it wasn't the standard. Most of the PS1 classics so far don't.
nope
malaysian ps3 psn has only ntsc-j version of ape escape
but the PS4/PS5 version is you get for free if you own it on PS3 is PAL
Well there goes my theory. That really doesn't make any sense if they can't even keep inter-region the same.
That is likely because it was never released in Japan, so there is no NTSC-J version.

And mostly likely us Australians. (on top of having no PS3 games here either)
did Japan get PS1 mini's/ PlayStation Classic console? if so was it also NTSC games? or Pal?
I believe the US version of PS1mini had Pal games no?
so if Japan's PS1 mini had Pal games..then that would make me feel better that the US version of PSones on the PS Store will be NTSC.
but if Japan's PS1 mini had NTSC games... then. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

No but your account is locked to the PSN region store that your account was created in. You can still play games from different regions on your account if you have an account from another region set as primary on your PS4/5 though
Not necessarily. Aren't these only NTSC because they're the only ones available in Japanese language?
If anything, the fact that Worms is still PAL in Japan (since it has no JP language version) makes things more concerning.
Me as a brit on launch day:
I agree. This guarantees nothing for the US, they'll fuck ya'll for the languages and smile while they do it.
