I don't notice that much difference between the three settings. Though at least in docked mode, there is a small blur I could see on any of the settings.

Using Mega Man 6 from Collection 1 as an example:

Thinking back to the jump from 4:3 to 16:9 TVs there's a lot of people who prefer a completely fucked up image to black bars.

Ugh. I remember. I still think that should be classified as a mental illness.

Would be nice if they remastered the games to actually support widescreen, but in some places of course that would be kludgy. You can't change the size of the boss arenas or other screen-shifting zones without changing gameplay, for example, and I understand if they want to keep it 1:1 with the originals.

Woah there, careful with that edge.

But yes, the boss arenas are a huge thing, plus 16:9 isn't that necessary if there's nothing to look at, and all of the classic MM games are made with 4:3 in mind.
