Nintendo 3DS

Here is the link to the video.

Starfox and Yoshi definitely show a different. Starfox seems right and Yoshi that is blurring up that background to the point it's dimming the colors. That's not normal I don't believe.

I do have an ambassador account, suppose I could fire up the game and see if it just sucks alone or you have an issue.

[Niode]

Yeah the problem is I've transferred my ambassador certificate to my New 3DS so I don't have any way to compare. I don't remember it being that bad though.

Wow Yoshi's Island was wretched insofar as the pixel response time is concerned. I wonder if this is a gaming in 2D on the New 3DS thing, or if it's only a Virtual Console thing? It would be interesting to see if anyone else who owns a New 3DS has experienced this blurry mess.

Reading the last few comments about the screen refresh rate I had to test it on my "old" 3ds XL, fired up Yoshi's Island, went to the same level as the video, and it looks just as bad on my 3ds. I would chalk it up to bad emulation or something, and dont think it has anything to do with the New 3ds screen.

I wonder if Super Mario Advance 3 looked as bad on Gameboy Advance. I don't have a copy to test. Would anyone like to do the honours? Could just be a weird scanline trick the game uses to half the bandwidth required to display the game as it's quite demanding.

I can check this when I get home, I have the game.

Excellent! Thank you.

I'd love to hear that too. I had the game a few months ago but never put much time into it before selling it off, but now that I think about it, it may have been softening up a bit on there too. I find it odd that emulation on the VC would blur a background so badly, but at least it's not the 3DS of any particular model causing it so far unless it's all of them which that test will help solve.

I have never seen this ghosting effect on the GBA version and I play it quite regularly. Here's a shot of the GBA version on the Retron:
