Nah, there's 2 resolutions for NES: 256x224 and 256x240 (I prefer the last one).

With the current version of the software, dragging the 3D slider up will show only one of the stereoscopic images on the PC software display. But loopy said there will be updates for it so there can be some proper stereoscopic display later. The webpage mentions most of the details and also has a support forum.

If I'm not mistaken, he worked on the Jumbotron DS as well. He's ancient and well-known in the mod scene. XD

Wait..... So he sells DS USB Capture cards too?

Do you have to mod your DS's to do these things provided the set gives instructions how to set up, or does the thing he's selling is all ready for use? Do you just need that USB, plug it in and start recording? On the site it says it only works for the old PHAT DS. Also that he's selling these pre-installed. So I take it it sounds like there is some modding involved here for the users?

Think of it more like an in-line video signal bypass.
VixyNyan can correct me, but what I imagine is happening is that he is soldering in extra leads on the video signal pins for the LCD screens and running it through some sort of signal conversion to a USB port and then on the computer side it decodes the signal into Video that Windows or whatever other platforms he makes applications for it for can understand.

Ick, its not like the screen resolution of the NES is bigger than the 3DS resolution, right?
An actual NES hooked up to a television stretches the screen horizontally somewhat (neither of the NES's two resolutions are a proper 4:3 ratio).  That's why us old guys all screwed up our precision jumping when we first played Mario Bros. Deluxe on the Gameboy Color.  Throughout a handheld generation of Mario Advance ports, we adjusted.

What's going on is that the 3DS is attempting to simulate that old TV stretching instead of doing a straight 256x240 window.  But it looks ugly as hell on a fixed pixel display, I agree.

Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS Heats up for the Holidays (release dates, new games and more)

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nintendo 3DS owners are getting an amazing lineup of downloadable games for the holidays and beyond. Original games, classic games and demos will all be making an appearance in the Nintendo eShop. Fans also will soon find downloadable versions of select Nintendo 3DS hits that have already launched as packaged goods.

Nintendo 3DS owners will see a sequel to fan-favorite Pushmo, classics like Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania: The Adventure, plus a series of three original games developed by LEVEL-5 and several well-known Japanese collaborators.

“The Nintendo eShop demonstrates Nintendo’s commitment to providing consumers with unique digital content through a combination of creativity and convenience,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “The variety and quality of games coming this year is unmatched, from new entries in established franchises to original properties.”

The following content is scheduled to launch in the Nintendo eShop in 2012:

ORIGINAL GAMES

NightSky launches Oct. 25. NightSky is an action-puzzle game that offers an ambient game-play experience with cerebral challenges that fill uniquely designed, picturesque worlds. Each of these worlds is broken into different areas in which the player must maneuver a sphere by using realistic physics to advance.

Crashmo launches Nov. 22. Players can embrace the laws of gravity and challenge themselves with a whole new kind of action-puzzle play in this exciting sequel to the critically acclaimed Pushmo. New gravity mechanics and gadgets like floating blocks, doors and move switches await, testing players’ skills as they push, pull and slide each puzzle’s colorful blocks in order to climb to the top. Just be careful where those blocks are moved—unsupported blocks will come crashing down. Crashmo contains lots of puzzles to test your brains, and enhanced puzzle-creation and -sharing features mean that even when all the puzzles are cleared, the fun never has to stop.

Fluidity: Spin Cycle arrives on Dec. 27, letting players tilt, turn and even rotate their Nintendo 3DS system 360 degrees to maneuver a puddle of water named Eddy through a maze-like, magical world. Change from liquid to a block of ice or a steam cloud to solve fun, gravity-defying puzzles and defeat Goop monsters. Fluidity: Spin Cycle features a new storybook setting to explore that spans the ages, from a lost world full of dinosaurs to the modern world and beyond.

Three original games from LEVEL-5 and several well-known Japanese collaborators will launch in the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS before this holiday season. The first of these games, SUDA 51’s LIBERATION MAIDEN, is set 100 years in the future, when the president of Japan boards her Liberator, Kamui, and fights to free her country one region at a time. AERO PORTER by Yoot Saito and Yasumi Matsuno’s CRIMSON SHROUD are also slated for release by the end of the year.

Get ready to unleash pedestrian-tossing pandemonium with Grace and Savannah in Tokyo Crash Mobs, a fast-paced action-puzzle game coming to the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS in early 2013. Players will need lightning-fast reflexes and an eye for strategy to survive the three chaotic weeks that lie ahead for our heroines, as they take on anyone and anything that gets in their way.

Super Mario 3D Land, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 64 3D and Mario Kart 7 will become available for purchase from the Nintendo eShop on Oct. 18 at a price of $39.99 each.

VIRTUAL CONSOLE

Mario Golf (launches Oct. 11)
Castlevania: The Adventure (launches Oct. 25)
Ninja Gaiden (launches Nov. 8 )
Zelda II – The Adventure of Link (launches Nov. 22)
Wario Land II (launches Dec. 20)
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (launches Dec. 27)

So, lets see.

Mario Golf, that's actually pretty cool (even if it is the third [tornado fang]ing golf game on the eShop, its like they're competing with the US PSN's multitude of shitty Bass fishing games), Tennis next? (Though they won't have Link-Up capabilities anymore...)
Ninja Gaiden, NES I would assume.
Why not just get the rest of the NES Ambassador games out the door they're all ready after all.
Wario Land 2, About [tornado fang]ing time, now lets get KDL2 because for fucks sake there is no good in setting records for "Longest gap between release in English-Speaking Countries"
Lost Levels, own it already, next.

Watch as after this they go into another 2 month lull with the VC games then push them out again. Oh NoA you mismanage your digital platforms so well.

Only if said Mii is playing something that isn't supposed to be revealed. ;3

Same thing happens for RawMeatCowboy (GoNintendo) when he plays Paper Mario on the 3DS.

oh also, since this is relevant

Denpa Ningen RPG 2 confirmed for NA localization as The Denpa Men 2!!

Source

the first one was great and I highly recommend everyone (in NA) get it. Mostly because it's worth it, but also because you can transfer your Denpa Men from DM1 to DM2, and because if you get the Completion Emblem in DM1 from getting every item you can transfer it to DM2 and unlock something.

Well with the name and advertisement can you blame them, it looks interesting though.

I still fail to see how it sounds like a gay porn.

Denpa, from the Japanese word for Radio. Japanese title being Denpa Ningen RPG, so literally radio human role-playing game. (after watching the Ryuusei no Rockman anime, I noticed they say denpa ningen a lot because of what it means)

The Denpa Men, obviously meaning the same thing as the original Japanese title.

They Came By Wave, referencing the fact these Denpa Men come and go via radio waves.

The advertising may help, but the title... you're stretching it if you think it sounds like that. Either that or trying to bandwagon with Archer who started this whole discussion.

Still, try the game out (there's a free demo on the 3DS eShop that lets you save at any time and transfer your data to the full game) before shunning it just because you find some issue with the name.

I think it's waves of semen, but that's still a long stretch.

On a side note, isn't Little Red Riding Hood a very suggestive title? Little. Red. Riding. Hood.

Dude I meant the fact that the commercial looks very controversial and, along with the title, can give people the wrong idea.  

A kid catches grown men in one piece jump suits that were in very weird positions in nets and then they follow the kid around looking very very happy.  I mean that doesn't make me think of porn, but it does give a very negative image, like slavery, stalking, and maybe pedophilia due to the fact that they're grown men.  The title just enhances that a little bit on the latter 2.  

Like I said it's a very interesting game and I may try it out, the commercial will give people the wrong idea however.
