If you don’t know, the NES and Gameboy games on the 3DS were quite poor, not selection wise, but rather performance wise.
The controls were limited to A and B, no Y/B alternetive (trust me, nobody likes A/B on a SNES style controller.)
The sound was pretty bad, the visuals were sub-par, and you had 0 control over screensize, it was a very small 4:3 “Original” sized screen port, which wasn’t exactly fantastic, considering the 3DS’s widescreen was left with only half its pixels on.
Now, they DID add a simple enough save and load state function, which was good, to say the least.
Turns out, the GBA games are simply awful looking.
They’re blurry, dull, de-saturated, motion-blurred/ghosted boring images, that look REALLY bad when playing.
To say the absolute best thing about them is that they almost fill the widescreen of the 3DS, which is great! But honestly? I can’t even PLAY these games without feeling sick, the motion blur is seriously reminiscent of an old VHS tape on a shitty CRT TV.
It's a damn shame about Yoshi's Island in perticular.
Either way though, the GBA lineup is amazing.
