DS games on the 3DS

I made this topic to have people discuss what they think about playing ordinary ds games on the 3DS. Some people say it's really blurry but I think it's just fine. I've been playing Super Mario 64 DS on my 3DS because I wanted to play it with a joystick and it works very well. As far as I know, nothing is negatively affected in the game itself. If you hold select, you can play the game without any blurriness. However, it makes both screens very small and that is a huge distraction to me.

It's fine, but with DS games that have large amounts of aliasing and not making DS games to oiginal aspect ratio, they do look pretty bad.
I thought exactly the same thing since DS games appear more blurry than normal. LUCKILY if you hold start and select while you boot a DS game it turns into 2 tiny screens which makes games less pixely and blurry than they do on a normal DS like this picture for example.

I see nothing wrong with that. I don't own a 3DS, but it's something I do all the time for PSP compilation games (Capcom Classics, Midway Arcade, etc.) or something I even did for the GBA while playing GB/GBC games. I don't think you even had a choice for the DS while playing GBA games (just 'small' on default).

Don't see where the "issue" would be :p It's the same screen size/resolution, and having them full screen is unplayable to me.

The 3ds has a special screen that allows you to view 3d footage and that apparently has a bit of distortion.
True, I can see that, then. I still haven't seen a 3DS in person :p I'm sure my cousin and family have one though. I'll see it/play it eventually :p He graduates in June so I'm sure there will be something to do afterward.
 
I thought Super Mario 64 DS on the 3DS was very neat looking. Pokemon games look a bit blurry though.

I agree with the Pokemon blur thing.
