It's just upscaling. Anything under 100 unless emulation isn't going to be real HD. You need an FPGA or HD mod hack. It will be a 720p signal but not 720p quality...
I fully expected that esp at this point. VC was great for awhile on Wii, it brought me back to Nintendo for awhile as a heavy retro gamer. Then Wii U dropped quite a bit of that... then they cancelled VC on Wii...ugh (still would have been fine for years to come). Of course now switch gets nada. Then they release Nes and SNES classics that are impossible to get. Nintendo has turned on the fans who made them who they are. Good thing I've been heavily collecting carts instead the last few years instead of buying more drm, non transferable, kill the whole platform forever games. They will also drop VC for Wii U and 3ds in next year... prediction <--.
Nintendo has an incredible backlog of IPs and it's like they don't recognize the value of it... People are just waiting to throw cash at you. There is a whole retro gamer scene with $ who doesn't give a flip about most new games but would gladly buy your hardware just to download old stuff on the go and an occasional new game.
@sleepinglion SimCity is not a Nintendo original but Maxis, they might have just bought the port rights at the time to include their version, but not subsequent.
As much as I liked some of these SNES games at the time and as much as many are classics, most of them aren't ones that I'm gonna go back and replay... Nintendo actually left out a LOT of the most fun, replayable games on that system I'd go back and play now, esp the 2 player fun games... Fortunately I have most of these already in some form or another.
Super Street Fighter II (more players) Mortal Kombat 1, 2, 3, championship NBA Jam (either version) Turtles in Time (great beat em up) Final Fight 3 (another great beat em up) Battle Toads Double Dragon (seeing a pattern here...) Killer Instinct One of the Madden Games One of the Ken Griffey Games Clay Fighter Rock n Roll Racing Samurai Showdown, etc etc...

Old post, but same. I skipped that whole Gen and glad I did!
