@cobalt in handheld mode the display option includes dot by dot - so a pixel by pixel match to the original. There’s clearly something different about when in tv mode that means that option disappears. (I don’t play docked much so haven’t investigated it)
Funny how no one realises stock is built based on retailer orders/demand...Nintendo try sell in, no one bites, less stock is produced, game sells well at retail, retailers have under-ordered, no stock to replenish, hence shortage.
eShop prices are full RRP in order to ensure retailers are kept happy. If Nintendo sold games cheaper than RRP, retail would sell less copies or need to match the eShop price, thus losing them money/margin. Nintendo don't want to fall out with retail yet as the majority of sales come from boxed versions. If everything goes digital in future, that would change things. For example, if Mario was cheaper on the eShop than it is in a real shop, why would I buy it from the real shop? Then real shop owner gets annoyed as no-one is buying it from them, so stops stocking Mario...which equals less sales overall for Nintendo as the game isn't on shelves across the country......see?

From a UK point of view, I love that I can play 60hz versions of SNES classics. Would be nice to have more games for sure, but 60hz F-Zero? Cheers

When I first saw this back in the day running on a Japanese SNES, I was blown away. Still awesome today. And 30p! Bargain.
