Hopefully they don't screw up the resolution like they did with DS mode

GBA games run at a resolution of 240x160, whereas the top screen of the 3DS is at (in non-3D mode) 400x240. Given the ratio of 3DS to GBA with the vertical resolution is at 1.5:1, I would assume that GBA games would be stretched to a resolution of 360x240, meaning without some filtering, every other pixel (both horizontal and vertical) will occupy 2 pixels worth of screen space.

I am baffled by the lack of save states. Because I KNOW I'm not going to be able to play Zelda in one setting lol XD

Then you must not know that not only does it support actual game saving (which can be done on the NES Zelda via switching to 2nd player and using a button combination), but it does have a kind of save state every time you close the program, which gets loaded when you launch the game again.

Don't really like golf games, that is my only compliant. :/

Not a deal breaker (or something like that

), but would be nice to see some of these in 3D.

I tried the combination but I don't get anything with the NES Zelda games. Lately when I do close the program, I lose my save and I have to start the game from the beginning. I'm probably doing something wrong but the manuals in the NES games don't tell me much

When you die, press 'Select' to access the save option and then press 'Start'. It should stay saved even when you reset the game.

    I can justify a decent $800 smartphone that'll last 3 years when I could get a 65" TV for $400 and buy a decent micro computer for $100 more
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tbf there are decent $400 smartphones in today's market that make top end spec phones unjust it's just what you want
