SNES 2? Dang, no S-Video support. Still, if that's no big deal then it's fine. Besides that my experience with S-Video recently has shown me first hand that A: the improvement is noticable and B: actually after looking at a few games I'd rather take the digital glasses off.
Some of it looks better, but for the most part with the full clarity you finally see exactly how pixelated the old games look. The games were clearly designed to actually USE the blur to create a smoothing effect, and that sometimes tragically applies to in game text which is now clear but not as legible.
It both looks better and looks worse. Tragic really, pick your poison. Those filters they put on Metroid in Metrod Prime and the two NES Zelda games in the Zelda Collection? Those were there for a reason, the reason being if you happen to be using component.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
