The emulation is hands down better than Nintendo's own garbage Virtual Console on the Wii U by leaps and bounds,
Thats too bad to hear , I would hope that a Nintendo product would be up to snuff. Accurate emulation is apparently a real PITA from a coding perspective but can be good enough that only real purists will notice the difference. Ill see if I can dig up the links if anyone is really interested in reading them. Honestly they dont say much more than I did with some examples though. I guess a frame by frame remake is just to taxing even for modern systems. There was some sort of "special sauce" that made things function smoothly IIRC
Yeah for some reason the emulation of the NES on the Wii U is just terrible. I have Dr. Mario on the Wii U VC and that's one of the games included on the NES Classic and the difference is night and day. The colors are more vibrant and pop much more on the Classic whereas on the Wii U they look washed out and the image looks dull, even over HDMI. Fortunately SNES and GBA games look vibrant and sharp on the Wii U VC, it's just the NES games that look like ***.
Any chance of side by side pics?
I wonder if they upscale the CLassic or something? seems like the least they could do for $60. Wii is only capable of 480p I think
My iPhone's camera sucks but in the images below the NES Classic and the Wii U are both plugged into the TV directly with HDMI.
Yuuuuup. Thats a noticeable difference. I had to looks twice, but I can only assume the difference is MUCH more pronounced in person. I can only attribue that to the difference between 480p and 720p, but I am still a bit of a scale/resolution novice. Thanks for taking the time to post up the pics !
