Ditching the aliasing makes all the difference.

Through Dolphin. ctrl +print screen. I've noticed they look odd as well. Might just use fraps from now on, instead. 

I actually loved Skyward Sword at 480p. I think it really fit the whole watercolor style.

Hmm interesting! The colors look very odd as to how dolphin usually looks:

Xbone games would look great too if they weren't always 720p! Haha jk

Actually that is my post-processing injector. I adjusted the HDR and bloom effects to suit my tastes. It's called sweetfx (only works in DirectX.) In some games it looks better and in others its worse. I usually adjust it to the game I'm playing. So in SS I think it looks better, but SMG might look worse. 

A lot of those pics look oversaturated... I'm guessing that's the "better bloom" you're talking about.

Nope, I didn't mess with saturation, although you can if you want to. 

Well the colors look much darker than they're supposed to. Satorl Marsh looks nice but Makna Forest looks awful imo.

I think it's the HDR. Here's a comparison with the original.  I'll take a pic later without the post-processsing effects.
