Compared to a standard 1080p television at 1920×1080, it’s practically a postage stamp.īased on your experiences with modern “retro” games, you’d expect it to look something like this, with every square pixel faithfully reproduced in a sharp picture: A “perfect” SNES game display. That’s because the hardware of these consoles is limited in the amount of resolution it can put out, as are the video cable standards from that era.įor example, most of the games on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System use a display resolution of just 256×224.
And while it’s true that these titles are very much inspired by both the art and the limitations of games from the 80s and 90s, an old console on a new TV won’t look anywhere near as crisp and clean as a new pixel art game. If you’re plugging in a classic cartridge-based system for the first time in years, you might be expecting its pixel-based graphics to look something like modern pixel-art games like Stardew Valley or Hotline Miami.
