Great news for all retro gamers, as you are going to get a choice of three display modes when Nintendo finally unpack the NES compact console.
The three display modes are –
- Pixel Perfect, where each pixel is rendered as a perfect square (and therefore gives you a perfect square on your big screen). As Nintendo points out, this lets you “see the games exactly as designed” even on modern hardware.
- Then there’s a 4:3 mode for “the original NES game look”, which is going to stretch your games ever so slightly. This matches the same aspect ratio that most original NES gamers, playing on a cathode ray tube (CRT) television, will be familiar with.
- There’s also an intriguing “CRT filter” mode for that authentic look, designed to look as much like an old television set as possible – it even comes with fake scan lines and is the one to use if you really want to feel like you’re in an episode of Netflix favourite ‘Stranger Things’!
