I feel like the only person who had 1/4 second lag on the few online matches I've done in SSFIV.

My friend was playing Star Fox Command on his 3DS and it looked okay on the screen.

Games that rely heavily on pixels will suffer a lot of quality loss. Games that do NOT, however...are given more replay value.

Well, I did say "almost" no issues. I did have a couple matches where the frame rate would slow for a half second then go back to relatively normal speed. But still, it was completely playable and usually lagless, unlike, for example, Brawl, and it's one of the better Nintendo games I've played online.

I really like the music player aspect of the 3DS. It's so darn fancy. Simple, but fancy.

Even if you set the resolution to the way it naturally is?

Um...

You won't noticed so much of a difference with non-heavy pixel games when the screen is stretched out. That is totally not a bad hidrance at all.

Pixel games while stretched out, however, look horrible.

So then you should set it so that the screen isn't stretched out. Or is that not what start + select thing does? I've only played Spirit Tracks, so I guess I wouldn't have noticed either way.

Even though you do have the option to compress the screens, it will look all weird. There are huge black bars, and that can also mess up games that rely too much on the touch screen.

Seriously guys

Just hang on to your old DS/lite/DSi

Pokemon Black is so glorious on the DSi.

I tried playing the Pokemon on my friend's 3DS, and it was ugly as heck.

Pressed START and SELECT right after booting the game?

Yep, I played in small mode, and everything seemed fine (I also liked the look better; even if large screen isn't awful, it's still annoyingly blurry to me).

I was playing Chrono Trigger and Castlevania in blurry mode earlier, and I don't see what all the fuss is about. They look fine if not better.
