Have any of you fellow 3DS owners (particularly Ambassadors) noticed that the NES downloads like Zelda and Super Mario Bros. appear ridicliously small on the screen? WTF!! Is there any way to get rid of the black bars? I called Nintendo and they say they don;t know what I'm talking about ::) Anyone else having a hell of a time playing those so small? |

Um, no. They fill as much of the screen as they can at their original aspect ratio. They fill the screen vertically. The only way to make them take up more of the screen would be to stretch them horizontally, and that would just look terrible. |

There must be some magic Nintendo can do to fix this, right? If they could redo the ratio for a TV, why not a handheld? |

They fit because you tell your TV to force 16:9 (the Wii is so stupid that it won't display 4:3 properly on its own, you have to tell your TV to do so). Why anyone would want to play classic games all stretched out is beyond me. |

This will cause the image to take up the entire screen, but it will stretch it as mentioned. --- Quote from: wiggy on August 21, 2012, 07:50:57 AM ---They fit because you tell your TV to force 16:9 (the Wii is so stupid that it won't display 4:3 properly on its own, you have to tell your TV to do so).

I do love how Rare made a handful of N64 games available in widescreen though. |
