Japanese Wii Virtual Console?

[DrVenom]

On the PAL (and also US Wii I believe) there is an issue with most of the TurboGrafx and Turbo CD games. Some kind of smoothing filter has been apllied to them.
It is hard to find much information about this on the internet for some reason but from what I have found it appears that only the last released games does not have the filter.
I bought Gate of Thunder which definitely has it. Gradius II and Dracula X does not have it. Lords of Thunder I am not certain about. I think it might have it but much more subtle than Gate of Thunder (which looks horrible).

What I was wondering is if anyone here had experience with the Japanese Wii Virtual console and knows if the PC Engine and PC Engine CD games on there has the same kind of filter?

Yup. I totally know what you're talking about.

Spriggan has it, so I would say "Yes", to your question.

I ended up getting "Wiimednafen" and using it, to avoid the filters. I don't know why, but it seems to be only on the PC Engine games.

Oh that's too bad. But thanks for the help.

I just remembered there are some PC Engine games on the japanese Playstation store as well. Not quite the same selection but I wonder how they stack up?

It probably just depends on the game. The Darius games and Image Fight are all super crisp.
