For those of us with a love of CRT and a permanent grain to our games, the NES mini has the ability to switch between different display "filters".

CRT - Gives the games that real 80's feel, simulating a CRT tv. Important to note the word "simulating" in this sentence, no excessive lines here.

4:3 - Does what it says on the tin. 4:3 aspect ratio.

Pixel Perfect - Apparently providing the exact 1:1 scale of pixels from cartridge to screen, making games look clearer but slightly different in proportion to what you may be used to.

Phoenix lives in the North East of England and gets paid to hide that fact in voiceovers. She's also a writer, a/v editor and someone who spends a frankly ridiculous amount of time gaming. She can't resist an amiibo. She will talk your ear off about videogames, wrestling, comics, bad films and My Little Pony.
