This is the most retardedly adorable and inoffensive game I have ever played.

You know how even Kirby eats his enemies and shoots them with fireballs and shit? How even Mario uses some semblance of violence to get his way?

Well you can forget all about that shit because in this game, your attack is throwing CANDY. That's right motherfucker, you throw candy at enemies and then run past them when they are too busy eating it to hurt you.

Wait, does /vr/ dislike filters or what...? I always use the HQ4x filter, makes the game look a lot more appealing especially when played in fullscreen imo...

Nice photoshop, bro. I'm sure the point you're trying to make is very correct, seeing as you can't into actual evidence.

Yeah, you make it blurry and totally distort the pixels. Way to ruin the looks of a perfectly fine game.

>make it blurry
that only applies when you size the filter further up from the size it is intended for, for HQ4x the max resolution would be 1024x896

even with slight blur still looks better than nearest neighbor at full screen imo though

Do you guys not do like texture smoothing and shit on N64 emulators either? Makes that shit bearable.

It still looks ugly and headache-inducing. You're doing a disrespect to the original game, that's what it is.

Pixels aren't meant to be displayed like that.

As you can see, there's still pixelation. The filter only confers what's minimally necessary to upscale to a higher resolution without it looking as shitty as it would without a filter.

You can barely even see that mode 7 background. How in the hell that's an improvement?

I used HQ4x, it smooths it out a bit, but doesn't look completely redone.

I'd rather have someone tranlsate Tokimeki Memorial or something like that, instead of some otome game.
