I play Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age on my GameCube Gameboy Player on my 50inch tv and I never bother switching from "widescreen" to "normal."

Now THAT is stretched, and I love playing every minute of it. I guess I'm weird.

Yup.


GBA games are already widescreen.

Hmmm..? Mine aren't. I can distinctly tell the difference when I change resolutions or pop it in my normal GBA.


Okay, I did the math, and it's slightly wider than standard screen ratio. Standard screen resolution is 4:3, and 640x480 pixels. Proper widescreen is 16:9, which would be 853x480. The GBA is 240x160, which is 3:2. Multiplied to full resolution, it would be 720x480.

So when stretched to full widescreen, it wouldn't be stretched as much as a DS game, which is at standard ratio.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
