I wonder what they'll do about putting handheld games (and the smaller resolution that goes with it) on the big screen? I'm going to assume for now they'll have some sort of border (like a 16:9 version of the Game Boy Player's), but I cannot be truly sure. And speaking of Game Boy Player, what about games like M&L Superstar Saga that had rumble features on the add-on? Thoughts, comments, and speculations outright encouraged!

This is a general assumption, but I think they'll just stretch it sort of how DS game's are stretched on the 3DS XL.

Hopefully the games won't end up all blurry like they are on the 3DS and like NES games are on the wii u

Maybe they will spend the time working with them so when they release, they have a higher resolution so they don't look blurry. Kind of like Banjo Kazooie and Tooie on Xbox love arcade. Screw Microsoft :(

I was once known here as KillerMario, but since I really like Banjo-Kazooie, I changed my display name to show them my respect :)

I don't really mind what they look like, as long as it's good enough.


Bring the noise.

They will probably touch it up a bit so they don't look low-res, but not pixelated either: sort of if the game is being played on an emulator. (which it technically is)

But I really don't care what they look like: I can get Metroid Fusion, Metroid Zero Mission, Fire Emblem, F-Zero Maximum Velocity, Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga, Mario vs Donkey Kong, and they might finally have a virtual console version of Yoshi's Island.

The good news is that since the GBA was 16:9 and the Wii U is 16:9, there probably won't have to be borders like there was with the GameCube player. I think.

The Aspect Ratio was technically 3:2, but they really shouldn't have a problem with it.

I'm sure Nintendo will be able to make the resolution on GBA games look good on WiiU,

but given their past track record with Virtual Console I just don't see them putting more than 30 gba games on there if that

I'd be happy with 30. Given that a lot of GBA games, not all, were pretty good.
