Anyone feels that N64 games (from original console) are the worst looking on an HDTV?

Anyone feels that N64 games (from original console) are the worst looking on an HDTV?

My AV Famicom hooked via composites is better looking than that and so is my Genesis 3 and Super Famicom via S-Video.

I was trying to play a game of Zelda MM and it's blur city, can't believe I bought that system and those games without even seeing how well they run on an HDTV first, N64 games have to be the only VC games worth buying for the Wii. Feel like selling my N64 stuff now.

BTW, Zelda OOT and MM on GameCube disk Vs VC, which is better?

They are pretty fuzzy but thats just the n64,stop picking on it ;___;

IMHO, playing N64 is like having glaucoma. Blurry, painful and you have to smoke weed to make it feel better. On a HDTV you have to smoke even more weed.

Ya but they didn't look that bad back on an SDTV from what I remember.

This is beyond fuzzy:

I say just get an emulator and run your 64 games through there.

Apparently it is tough as bolts trying to get RGB SCART out of a 64, so you may as well run it in full-HD through an emulator (Assuming you're using a PC).

From what I've seen, some HDTVs make a LOT of systems, especially 2D and some early 3D ones look like shit.

That whole generation was ugly.

Good times though, the N64 was awesome for it's 3-4 year lifespan.

Well I can't talk for all of the 2D and 3D system, but:

-Famicom and NES games on my AV Famicom look great minus a bit of ghosting
-SuperFamicom via S-Video are the best looking one (2D anyway)
-Genesis games with my modified Gen3 with S-Video are a step below my SFC
-2D PSX games running on my PS2 Slim are just as good as my SFC and most 3D games look good (Square RPGs are fuzzy but not N64 fuzzy)
-GameCube and PS2 look great with Components and my DC via VGA is best looking last gen system.

This is why I don't plan on getting anything other than an SDTV CRT anytime soon. For me, LCD and plasma TVs don't cut it for gaming, even for newer stuff.

Are you kidding? Have you ever seen a PS3 or Wii game on an LCD? They look great. Hell, even GameCube games were made to be played with progressive scan, meaning that both EDTVs and HDTVs work well for that old system.

I'd like to have one TV for all my systems, and I actually don't care all that much about HDMI or anything like that. Call me old-fashioned I guess.

Instead of making Nes and Genesis clones they should make an N64 clone,
but one that has a switch on it that forces the output to 640x480.

And no i don't wanna make an emu box.

Sorry, but 360/PS3/Dreamcast are best on progressive scan LCD and Plasma televisions. Any other opinion is just wrong.
