What about the emulation don't you like? I thought the general consensus was that it's great and a big improvement over the VC versions?
The Wii U NES VC was garbage because the colors were waaaaay washed out and there was significant input lag (which seemed worse on the GamePad). OTOH the vanilla Wii NES VC was basically perfect, even had native 240p support.
The NES Classic has these following issues:
- Colors aren't as bad as on Wii U but they're still kinda ugly
- Sound is laggy and at the wrong pitch
It's arguably better than the Wii U emulator, but not the Wii emulator, no.
I don't really understand why it gets so much praise really, I mean it does the job as a cool-looking official legal NES emulation box, but why is the emulation quality still worse than decades old emulators?
