Guys. Holy shit. Nintendo's own DS Virtual Console on Wii U can upscale games.
It's a setting you need hombrew to get to, but just setting it to 2x made Final Fantasy IV go from this:

What's with the PS1-like lack of perspective correction? I thought the DS didn't suffer from that.

You can't be serious that this is a setting in the actual emulator and Nintendo has it set to 1x because Nintendo. That's fucking terrible!Guys. Holy shit. Nintendo's own DS Virtual Console on Wii U can upscale games.

It doesn't. Probably just textured that way.What's with the PS1-like lack of perspective correction? I thought the DS didn't suffer from that.

Wow that's really unbelievable. I know that Nintendo doesn't seem to give two craps about the VC. But if you bother with adding such an option. Than bloody use it! 😐yep it is....

That's because it is being rendered at a higher resolution. People just say upscaled usually.That actually looks like a higher native resolution and not just a simple upscale.
All of the options to disable the dark filter for NES and N64 are there too....Nintendo really doesn't care.
Yea that's pretty much my reaction to all this, coupled with the fact that the vast majority of games work very well on their emulator, they literally just passed on a ton of free money for very little effort.All of the options to disable the dark filter for NES and N64 are there too....Nintendo really doesn't care.

Actually it doesn't. With a higher native resolution the text font would still have sharp pixels, in the upscaled picture it's rounded instead so it's more like a 2×SaI family based filter upscaling.That actually looks like a higher native resolution and not just a simple upscale.

That's a separate artifact. There's also an option in the DS emulator settings called PixelArtUpscaler which applies that filter. The 2x render though really is 2x internal res.
It's because it looks it's using that shitty smooth scaling filter in addition to the increased internal resolutionI see. And what's up with those horrible uneven textures? They are completely unlike all the higher res screenshots posted in this thread before where you could see the pixelated textures clearer than in the original resolution.

much betterIt looks like the filter also filters the textures. Here's a shot I took from DQ9 with the 2x option on and the pixel art upscaler off:
This. Thanks Aeana for clearing that up.much better

How many times have we got to remind people that these filters are blanket epilepsy-prevention measures? They're intentional. It's not that they don't care, it's that they don't want the risk of these games causing epilepsy problems for some people.

That Blood of Bahamut game looks awesome. It's really JP-only?
I'll never understand the pure unwillingness to allow toggles for setting like this.I don't think it's that people don't know why Nintendo do it, it's that they could easily offer a toggle in the VC menu, but they don't. I certainly have no problems with epilepsy, so I'd love to play these games (Earthbound) in their original form, let me toggle the filter!

Offering a toggle is still a risk that any sensible corporation has every reason not to take. It would take just one case of someone toggling it off, getting a seizure, attempting to sue Nintendo (DESPITE the warnings that would be in place) to garner enough negative press (even if Nintendo wins the case) to make them regret it.
It makes no sense that a game like Mario Maker is playable in all it's high contrast glory yet the original NES rom is deemed unsafe to play at normal contrast. Why don't they apply this filter to every single game on Wii U if they are so worried about epilepsy? There should be a toggle option with a clear warning screen and parental controls. That's all they need to do, but as usual, we will have to wait at least 5 years for them to do it.

Oh wow, Krammy, just keep on posting those gifs whenever you want. Looks sooo good.
It's a great game. Probably the best looking 3D games on the DS.This thread is gonna make me buy that Wizard of Oz game.
