Nintendo Eagerly Embraces the Next Generation of Technology!

Yeah, some sort of "recrapification gauge" would be nice. Well, TVs already have that. Most TVs I've used do have a sharpness altering thing. The TV has a normally fairly crisp image (relative to it's poor settings I mean), but you can reduce it to a very blurry image pretty easily. In fact, I purposefully did that when I played RE2 on N64, and it made the FMVs look a LOT better. My brain filled in the details that just didn't exist instead of the TV pretty much making it obvious that it's blocky as hell.

The difference is, a TV at its "sharpest" is nowhere NEAR a HDTV, much less a computer monitor... the degree to which this matters varies, but it can (obviously) be anything from 'clearer the game looks worse' to 'they designed it assuming the fuzziness would be there and it's something actually meant to help the graphics'...

Oh by the way, any, ANY, image enhancing software HAS to ADD stuff to the image that was NOT in the original image. At a certain level, it's just impossible to enhance the image without out and out creating a complete fiction. What I'm saying is, it's impossible for Batman to enhance a blurry white spot in a background into perfectly legible text since that text was not in the original image,

I know, and it's annoying when movies do that... but yeah, for games, similarly, all they can do is smooth things out, make it clearer, etc, not actually change the coded graphics.
