[QUOTE="Nemix77, post: 5215299, member: 180973"] Don't mean to resurrect a dead thread but IMHO the 3DS does a great job upscaling DS games to the 3DS's screen albeit the picture will be a bit fuzzier and less vivid but unless you have a DSi XL side by side for comparisons you get used to the picture and probably can't tell there's a difference at all. In a perfect world the Wii should only be played on 480p 4:3 old CRT TV's since the resolution is 1:1 and most Wii games are made for 4:3 screen (when set to 16:9 the Wii actually stretches the screen it's not true widescreen), 720p LCD TV's should be true 1280x720 resolution not 1366x768 BS where 720p content still has to be upscaled by the TV causing the a bit of blurriness, ghosting and input lag. My point is unless you have a perfect setup for each and every video source ex: Wii on a 480p CRT, PS3 on a 1280x720p LCD, Xbox upscales but still preferred on a 1280x720p LCD, DS games on a DSi (XL) etc. It's really pointless to compare the screens between a DSi and 3DS when playing DS games just be grateful Nintendo preserved backwards compatibly for DS games to to played on a 3DS. Just a [B]note[/B]: DS games should look a better on the New 3DS since the screen seems to be better in almost every way compared to the old 3DS (higher contrast, better colors, better viewing angles, picture seems clearer and probably better response times), so if one really cares that much about playing DS games on the 3DS and getting the best picture possible then look into upgrading to a New 3DS in the near future.

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol
