3DS virtual console thoughts

i finally bought a couple titles..links awakening dx and super mario land.

they both have a bit of that blurry look that ds games have...HOWEVER

links awakening:

i compared links awakening to my original cartridge played on a gba sp With backlight to the VC version...the VC version looked brighter and with slightly more detail..even with the blur. also the screen size is bigger on 3ds...sure you can go full screen on gba sp but then looks really stretched.
also the sound is better on 3ds..sounded louder and better than my gba sp.
overall playing this on 3ds felt more fun than the gba sp.

super mario land:

same for gameboy games..on gba sp i noticed gameboy games looked a lot darker...again 3ds is slightly blurry but much brighter which lets you see more detail in the games.
also the fact that you have restore points is a big plus.

overall i feel much more enjoyment and details playing these on 3ds compared to gba sp..the circle pad works maybe better than the dpad too.
if only 3ds didnt have the blurry thing then it would be EPIC.

what did you guys notice or think?

Oh cool I didn't even know the 3DS had a virtual console thing. That makes me want to go get one now. I can't wait to play Wario Land & Rampage 2 again.

Honestly, I can't see the blur and used both a DSlite and GBA SP. 0.0

dslite doesnt play gameboy color or gameboy games..how could you use it?

its confirmed ds games look only slightly blurry on 3ds...GB and GBC also look slightly that way but still better than the original cartridges.

I think they need to release Wario Land for the Virtual Boy and other Virtual Boy games for the Nintendo 3DS virtual console, and make them in real color instead of just black and red (but still give the option to keep them in black and red.) :]

press and hold select while the game is starting, you'll be glad you did ;)

Yes, it makes it way too tiny, especially with games with small sprites like Donkey Kong (which is the only VC game I downloaded so far). It is kind of a cool effect but I prefer just playing with the regular screen size.

I didn't buy my 3DS for decent games. Nintendo has the biggest console library of timeless cl@ssic games. Undisputable Fact. 30 years, 7 consoles (8 counting VB.) Of those hundreds of wonderful games, they've released 2. Kirby and Link. 3DS is not a cell phone where I'd settle for throwaway crap, its a Nintendo console. I expect better from them, not their throwaway junk that I wouldn't have bought back in 86, let alone 2011.
