Rumor: DS games on 3DS look better after Update

[Shiro09]

Found out my bro didn't update his 3DS, gonna take comparison pics.

Got to say, i hated the momment i put a DS game in the 3DS
I swore i never play DS games on it

I still will never play DS games on it!
cause to be honest, i don't see that much of a difference.

When play in DS mode (holding select) it's to small for me (comming from a DSi XL)

Here they are: Blue is 2.xxx Black is 1.xxx

It's hard to tell from the screenshots as they're cammed, but it sort of looks like 2.x is a bit sharper and colors look richer. Since you can compare them without the cam quality, do you think there's an improvement Snailface?

 

[emigre]

They look the same to me.

The images are a bit sharper but at the first look they seem negligible.

From those pics Snailface, it certainly does look a bit sharper and colored better. Or that might be the angle of the lens im looking through.

@Zekrom look at the water and trees on the bottom pic. See how it's sorta bright, and colors look a bit faded? Now look at the top pic, they're darker and sharper.

Well, I can see that the updated 3DS looks better but the pictures look the same becuase of my low quality camera. Here anyway: Mario Kart DS

Looking at cam quality alone, the second is much brighter than the first. It is a fairly clear difference on my monitor. The picture quality on the actual 3DS screen is also better in the second picture.
Of course, I'm not overly sure which 3DS is which in the pictures. By the second, I mean the bottom. Probably not looking close enough to discern the two 3DS's from each other.

There is one thing that bothers me about SnailFace's pics though; he's playing in the normal DS screen size. I kind of want to see if the blur filter looks any better too.

 

[Snailface]

Maybe these are better:

v2.xxx is the second one

Yeah, even from these screens i can somewhat tell the difference. I'd say this is pretty much confirmed, especially since we've got confirmation from people who have compared them firsthand with their own eyes. This is more than a rumor, i'll change the title.

yesh, I can confirm it.

Thanks for the help guys. It's great that Nintendo did this, i didn't expect them to actually improve the way DS games look on the system.

Yeh, I cant believe the usually lazy Ninty listened to their fans request.

I hate to rain on anybodies parade, but after carefully looking the last 5 minutes, there is no difference. The color difference you see is because my black 3DS has a cooler color temperature, that's all.

I really want there to be a difference, but there isn't.

BTW-Doubt it makes a diff, but the black system is a rom -- the blue, a retail cart.

My brother and I have the same colour 3DS, both on the fifth Screen brightness and Power-Saving off, I can see that there is a slight difference in the quality.

Those two pics Snailface just posted look like 2.XX makes it clear and not as pixeled (if that makes sense). Like everything doesn't look as blocky around the edges.

I actually put my suikoden game on the 3ds and I prefer how it looks on it than how it looks on my dsi or lite

Best looking- Worst looking
DSiXL-3ds-Dsi-Lite-DS

placed the game on all my consoles and I still prefer how it looks on my DSi XL, but after 2.0 update its looking better on the 3ds than it did prior to the update

 

[Snailface]

This is definitive, I think.
v1 is first v2 is second
