Gaming How will DS games look?

This isn't a genuine question, I'm just curious about peoples opinions.
Which of the following do you think will be the one Nintendo goes for when playing original DS games on the 3DS?

Hopefully like the last one but I bet they will keep aspect ratio personally.

1st

Stretched with filter look about right i hate it when games are over stretched and make all the characters look fat

 

[murkurie]

probably be like the 2nd one. the bottom screen has the same res I think, only the top screen is different

probably be like the 2nd one. the bottom screen has the same res I think, only the top screen is different

Both screens are different, the DS/lite/i is 256x192, the 3DS is 400x240 (top) and 320x240 (bottom)

 

[KingVamp]

yea I like the Stretched with filter.

Both screens are different, the DS/lite/i is 256x192, the 3DS is 400x240 (top) and 320x240 (bottom)

In that case I still like the 2nd one, just might skew the graphics for games like Zelda that use the bottom screen the most

I'm thinking it's 2 or 3 since the 3DS will most probably be like how the DSi works

IIRC some1 stated that the DSi run in a 'compatibility mode' when running DS games which doesn't allow access to the DSi specific hardware (sorry not sure where I read that from)

So if the 3DS is the same then when running DS Games it will have the same type of DS 'compatibility' mode - which won't allow access to any of the more powerful hardware avaliable (such as the stuff for 3D or powerful graphics processor etc)

The only 'improvement' would most probably be the Processor used in the 3DS will be more powerful/faster & able to 'stretch' the graphics, & possible have enough CPU power to apply a filter as well

im thinking 3rd, but im hoping that somehow they will heighten the resolution of the games, as in Stretched Textures/Sprites with nicer 3D Models

2nd sounds about right, although I might like 1st better. Some games are just not for jaggies, although DS rendering by itself presents lots of jaggies, I'd prefer it not to be so obvious

 

[Jamstruth]

Aspect ratio will be kept, alongside relative screen sizes. The 3DS's bottom screen is taller than the top Screen so expect a slight border on the bottom screen.
That's what I think anyway.

 

[Raika]

The second one... Or maybe the option to change resolutions of original games? I dunno.

 

[Delta517]

If the DSi XL has support for screens and the games support it, wouldn't it work fullscreen on the 3DS too?

 

[ProtoKun7]

Perhaps there could be a choice?

Standard resolution/ratio or full screens, something like that.

 

[HaniKazmi]

I'm hoping for strectched, but theyll probably do the same they did for the gba when the ds came out.

 

[phoenixclaws]

I'm thinking a mixture of 1 and 2. Won't know until we have it in our hands.

 

[ca_michelbach]

You might be able to switch between 2 (1 & 2 probably), like you could when playing gameboy games on the gba

 

[redsmas]

Or maybe the option to change resolutions of original games?

That might be likely (GB/GBC into GBA), but think of it like putting a DS game into a DSiXL

 

[Arnold Schwarzen]

As long as they keep the aspect ratio (which they will do) and it looks nice (which it will), then I'll be happy.
