/vr/ - Retro Games

Left is an emulator. Right is how it looks on an actual TV.

>>4541985
As opposed to a counterfeit tv.

>>4541985
>purple sky
Just the way the developers intended it :^)

>>4541978
Mario in left looks awful

>>4541993
>Just the way the developers intended it :^)
Yeah, just look at the back of the box. All that purple sky.

>>4541985
Obvious bait is obvious.

>>4541985
In my experience I get the right on emulators and the left on the actual hardware...

>>4542058
I get neither of those on hardware, but I've been closer to right back in the old days on those old CRTs that you always had to adjust the colors on.

>>4541978
on my tv is blue

>>4542035
Screen shots on box art back then were actually photographed off CRT screens. They likely adjusted contrast to make them look more appealing.

Also, practically nobody actually adjusted the contrast on their TV's in the 80s. So it probably actually appeared more blue on most people's TV's.

Shigeru Miyamoto himself confirmed he chose a shade of purple because it looked more appealing than the shades of blue that were available.

You happen to have a source for that?

>>4541978
Purple may be more accurate, but blue simply looks better.

Right.

The blocks and ground were never that bright orange on the left on my screen and Mario was a deep red.

>>4542134
nintendo developed on lcd screens so those pictures are likely not even crts

>>4542361
This is complete bullshit

>>4542374
it's commonly known that this is true. just look at the text in those boxart screenshots. even an early pvm doesn't have geometry and sharpness good enough for that.

>>4541978
Depends on how warm or cool the colors were on the television you played NES on as a child.

/thread

>>4542134
One of the graphic designers also said in an interview from the 80s that it's meant to be slightly purple, because the game isn't set in a completely realistic world.

>>4541978
>NTSC autist wars

You're never going to get a reference color that matches every shitty 80's CRT and whatever people remember it looking like in their heads.

Looks like the PC88 version desu.

>>4542361
>>4542375
Pretty good bait.

>>4542150
It’s objectively supposed to be a shade of purple. A properly calibrated set reflects that.

>>4542546
>"i picked the purplish blue"
>objectively purple
Ok.

lol

>SEE?! OBJECTIVE PURPLE

Some of the tippest of the top keks. Not quite peak keks, but close.

>>4542558
Not him, but the image on the right could best be described as "purplish-blue"

>>4542546
>It’s objectively supposed to be a shade of purple.
>"the theme of super mario bros was the blue sky"

>>4542567
And yet it's only referred to as "purple" here, mostly for bad bait reasons. So which is it? Is it "purple" or "purplish" blue?

The absolute state of bored, roleplaying kiddos on /vr/.

>REEEEEEEEEE IT WAS BLUE

You all need to drink bleach.

>>4542612
lol, no one actually thinks it's purple. it's just funposting. let the kids think they're trolling people.

The nes's color palette changes depending on the television it was plugged in to. It was all based on whatever decoder the tv is was plugged in to is using. There is no "real color", because the color miyamoto picked was probably slightly different than the one that showed up on your television unless you and him happened to own a display with the same decoder.

>>4542568
>>4542603
>>4542607
>>4542614
>I picked the purplish one

>>4542638
I'm Miyamoto and I can confirm it's purple and if you don't play on my personal TV you're not getting the developer intended experience

>>4542058
you can choose color palettes on emulators, so it's possible to have both.

>>4542640
>purplish blue means purple
If you say so.

>>4542694
What if it's blueish purple?

>>4542572
>What are translation errors

>>4542638
>>4542658

>not breaking into the developer's house to steal his tv to play NES on

Fucking casuals.

>>4542546
>>4542558
>>4542567
This is the kind of high-quality autism I come here for.

The correct answer is, depends on your TV. Some of us played that shit in black and white

>>4542827
>purple = black
fucking idiot

I will tell you later when I load it up on my calibrated BRAVIA. No emulation.

>>4542737
NOW THIS IS DAMAGE CONTROL

>>4542471
I thought my screen had a crack in it for a second.

The left is a Nesticle screenshot. Nesticle is an ancient as shit emulator and has very poor accuracy. Trust me, the real thing looks nothing like that.

>>4542471
This does weird things to my monitor when I scroll the picture.

>>4542134
>Shigeru Miyamoto himself confirmed he chose a shade of purple because it looked more appealing than the shades of blue that were available.

Japanese consumer TVs in the 80s also had a habit of tweaking the NTSC signal to give more accurate Asian flesh tones.

I've played SMB on a couple different CRTs and also a Sony Bravia LCD TV and the colors always looked like the right picture.

>why won't girls go out with me
>good thing no girls can see me argue blue vs purple

>>4543364
So you’re quoting yourself?

>>4542471
It gets worse the longer you stare at it.

>>4543301
The white balance?

The color palette does differ from TV to TV but every one I've ever used had a purple sky. The bricks look more reddish on a real NES and not quite as mud brown.

>>4541978
left is america mario
right is russian mario

>>4541978
Same shit, makes very little difference.

so what about RGB modded NES? how do those palettes look?

>>4547931
Like the color palette of the poor Playchoice 10 whose PPU is now sitting in your NES.

>>4542471
How can I enjoy this on my 4k Vizio television if it has those disgusting black bars on the side?

>>4547936
Is this 2003? Why do retards still think a Playchoice 10 PPU is the only way to get RGB out of a NES?

>>4544234
The white balance was turned down and the Asian balance was turned up

>>4542709
then it means blue obvioulsy

>>4547931
You can select your own palette.

it doesn't matter to me because I don't have autism.

what the game looks like is irrelevant provided I can tell what an object is intended to be.

>>4548102
What shader is this?

>>4541992
>what's a computer monitor?

>>4541978
You made left screenshot with wrong colors on purpose to push your purple sky agenda.
Here is how accurate colors actually look. I use Wavebeam palette on my emulators.

Is it considered sacrilegious to say I never liked the NES graphics and always preferred the SNES All-Stars version? The night levels were always so comfy.

>>4550680
Say what you want about the graphics. But those sfx are trash

>>4550680
All-Stars 1 and 2 are bad, because the jump physics are altered. gotta play NES for the true experience

>>4550680
>night levels

Those were winter levels

>>4550680
Me too, but it was my first experience with the game, who knows if it would think the same had I played the NES first...

>>4550680
Nah, SMB1 already looked ugly by the time of SMB2 and SMB3. You would have to be rather nostalgic or have specific preferences to prefer the SMB1 aesthetics.

>>4541978
no one and dont play shitty gaymez

>>4550697

>tfw no complete sound restoration patch

The GBA/DS Pokemon remakes have GBC sound patches that work wonders.

>>4541992
As opposed to an emulated tv.

>>4550807

Idunno, it's a lot more colorful than the dull schemes used in SM2 and SM3

>>4542546
It's similar to how most NES games opted for the orange-ish color over the yellow one when coloring yellow things, because it looked more yellow on CRT TVs while the yellow color ended up looking a muddy brown.

>>4550957
It’s actually nothing like that.

>>4550680

I hate that the enemies don't have outlines but Mario and the power ups do. They should have either given everything outlines, or kept it true to the original game and not given Mario and outline.

But other than that, the backgrounds are nice and so is the music.

>>4550697
Yeah, the Fireballs, the jumping, the stomping, all of it's pretty weak compared to the NES SFX.

>>4550924
I rather prefer those colour schemes than the bright tacky ones in SMB1.

>>4541978
both are wrong: purple sky or orange clothes, pick your poison

>>4541978
Left sky looks like winter, right looks like summer. Looks like summer in game so I take right.

>>4548102
>>4548795

>>4541978
How is this a debate still? Look how the official VC version looks on the 3DS (a noncustomizable by the user screen). It's BLUE.
