There is an option to enable 16x9 on the Gamecube NSO version.

Yeah, I noticed that when I went back. It’s not as sharp so I wonder if it’s like anamorphic DVDs, 640x480 stretched to 854x480. Anyway, it’s fun, it still looks great. Would totally buy if it were an option.

Not sure what native res NSO uses for GC but the Gamecube title was 480i/p (576i for PAL) and the HD version for PS3/Xbox was 720p.

Didn’t expect it so quick.

Seeing such a nice retro game collection on each of the console apps really makes wish we can buy and keep the games. I hope Nintendo has thought about what they plan to do with the games if they ever decide to end this service like they did with the virtual console.

Mario's Super Picross now supports mouse controls on the SNES app for Switch, as well as Nobunaga's Ambition

Love those Picross games. Didn't play them the first time around but I completed two of them on 3DS Virtual Console.

I keep seeing posts that Super Mario Collection/Super Mario All-Stars was announced, is that just rumors? Don't see anything official.

Nothing official, probably "insider leaks" or grain of salt rumors.

Nintendo's Twitter & YouTube would have shared the news if real.

I used to love playing this game on PC back in the day. In fact, I'm pretty sure I still have the Windows 95 rig I used to play this on including the below controller. Might just have to dig both out of storage this weekend coming up.

(Click on the image above for additional pics.)

I want to say I still have the calendar as well. Brilliant marketing campaign. Was just hitting puberty at the time as I recall.

And look what we have here. Remaster anyone?

Adding the game to my Steam library as we speak.
