DS Games Appear Better On 3DS After Update?

OK, so the 3DS can play regular DS games. No big deal. But before, they have appeared to be low quality in the appearance department. Could that have changed with the latest 3DS firmware update? It appears so. Hop inside for some before and after shots of Pokemon Platinum on the 3DS.

The first image here is before the 3DS was updated. It appears low quality, pixelated, and generally not too good.

This second image is after the 3DS was updated. It is noticeably better, with less pixelation and an overall smoother look.

So, what do you think? Does it look better? Have you noticed this with any of your games?
