A few days ago I decided to "upgrade" the Virtual Console version of Paper Mario 64 so I could play it in bed using my GamePad. I turn the game on and everything seems darker than I remember. I thought it may have been a placebo effect due to stories I heard from other GAF members, but then I decided to compare the two for myself. My apologies for not having direct feed screenshots, but this the best comparison I can come up with. You can also take a look at this video for additional footage. You'll immediately notice that the game looks darker than it should be. NES games experience a similar problem, as all of the games are not only darker, but have a weird "blur" filter slapped on. Nobody knows why, but given the prices they charge, I expect better.
Wii version on left, Wii U version on right. As you can see, all of the colors are darker and more washed out. So after waiting over two years for Nintendo 64 games to be added to the Virtual Console, this garbage is what they give us. Hilarious.

What people seem to be missing is that it's not as simple as "oh it works in homebrew". It does, sure, but then you have people saying it's at "near perfect" speed. Near perfect is not enough for Nintendo.
Nintendo want the games running as they did (if not better) than on the original consoles, and having it be "near perfect" is an issue. Then there's the Virtual Console features. Just throwing the GBA binaries on the handheld and selling them would be terrible, especially as they don't activate sleep mode when you close the 3DS.
