Where do you see the Gamecube retro market going, /vr/?

Prices have been soaring and it's increasingly hard to find even normal games like Mario Sunshine for under $50.

Is it a bad time to pick up some games, or is this going to continue? I'm considering trading up and getting back some childhood favorites, but you gotta wonder if the dust will just settle and leave these guys offloading at pennies on the dollar.

I don't really care about the money but with GCN everdrive-like devices coming soon, it's definitely a bit tough to stomach the inflated prices.

Seems like these people don't give a fuck how long they hold onto them. Why advertise a GameCube lot and then sell everything seperately?

Really? I'm sure there are people here who's first console was a 360. I'd consider GameCube retro at this point but ngl I didn't read the rules:/

Gamecube ps2 and xbawks are not co sidered retro on this board

Only gen6 console thats allowed is dreamcast

I don't know if 6th gen should be considered retro or not but regardless of what a few people like you and me think, the rules say anything before Dreamcast. If there are guys who have got a problem with that then they should say that on a IRC or something, we anons don't make the rules.

Then the rules are fucking stupid. It should be a gen/horsepower thing, not a year thing.

Your personal nostalgia =/= retro. Sticky says "retro" means platforms pre-2000 as well as ports and remakes of games on those platforms.

I'm pretty burnt out on N64. I've got a pretty substantial collection and just ended up buying an everdrive to play the rest. Save for a yearly Majora's Mask or Conker playthrough I'd say I'm pretty much tapped.

GameCube had some really weird games and there are lots I can remember just vaguely that I'd like to track down. There's something a bit more nostalgic about it despite it not being my first console. Pic related!

I'm sorry man, I won't do it again.

Though I do think this fits better here than on any other board. Should we have a retro boogalo board?

No problem, anon. Welcome to the board. There are retards here who intentionally make continual 6th gen threads, only to shit up the board out of spite of likely being underage, so I think you can understand why this can be a source of frustration around here. Generally no one has an issue with passively discussing any non-retro game here, by the way. It's the off-topic thread-making and intentionalities that derail the focus of this board the most.
>Though I do think this fits better here than on any other board. Should we have a retro boogaloo board?
We've been wanting a board called /v2k/ or /vr2k/ to resolve this, but the nipmod in charge says no deal. At this point, it's probably best just to make gen 6 (or /v2k/) generals on /v/ or /vg/.

>>6498028
Idk man, the way I see it retro died the day games started coming out in desperate need of patches with some sort of DLC leaflet instead of a manual. I wouldn't go as far as to throw Wii into it yet but 6th gen is certainly debatable.

I wish this was a thread about GameCube prices:^(

This isn't about your feels retard. It is NOT retro. Just because some fucking zoomer feels nostalgic about his first console, doesn't mean it is retro. You haven't been long enough on earth to decide what is retro and what is not.

Thanks anon, this is my first time.

I've always seen fragmentation as a bad thing so it's a sticky situation for sure. If you throw PSX and Dreamcast on here then GameCube isn't a very far cry from that.

Can we talk about Gameboy Advance on here?

DC is allowed because it was released before Jan 1, 2000. GBA is post-2000 platform, so no (except for ports on it from the SNES and such). Same goes for operating systems and arcade boards (eg, Win 2000 is the last retro OS, I think, since it was technically released in Dec 1999).

>> No.6498061

>>6498048
Well

Okay then I guess. Sorry for ruining your board dude :(

I personally think GameCube prices will stay inflated, and I base this on the N64 holding up so well. I also have very good prospects for the Wii U but we'll see how that goes with the large amount of ports that Nintendo is doing.

You know this could have been a thoughtful discussion about the rise and fall of Atari prices, the effect having an easily HDMI accessible console will have, something to do with the Gameboy player making GameCubes more multipurpose... Heck I tell ya,

Heck
