NOT RETRO

>>6647684
not retro.

Just disguise it as a game boy thread and you're good to go.

>>6647684
Because the autists here think that a portable SNES isn’t “retro”

>>6647684

Because it makes you seethe and you're a faggot.
Maybe next year ;^) keep crying

>library is 80% snes ports
>not retro
In all seriousness realistically anything that doesn't have the trappings of modern systems (eg. online required, DLC, HD resolutions) should be considered retro if it's old enough. The GBA is the same age as the Genesis and SNES were back in the mid-00s and they were considered retro then. unfortunately mods are dingbats who seem to think the forum is going to be flooded with fucking Halo posts or whatever if they include the rest of the 6th gen as if anybody who regularly posts on this forum gives a single shit about some mediocre console FPS. when was the last time Kuru Kuru Kururin got discussed on /v/, huh?

The sticky states:
>Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier.
It's that. fucking. simple. This is a board for discussion of pre 2000 consoles. If you don't like it you can leave and go to one of the hundreds of other retro gaming websites out there that allow discussion of GBA/6th gen.

>>6647771
We'd love it if you gave up and left. But at the same time, it's more funny if you stay and cry more.

LMFAO

>>6647684
6th gen stuff gets discussed here all the time. You gotta do it in a stealth way. Like maybe you start a thread about a 4th or 5th gen game and then you start casual discussion of the sequels for ps2. It happens here all the time. But if you just start a 6th gen thread, it will get deleted. I'm all about 6th gen and I enjoy how offended people on this board get at the idea of ps2 being retro.

>>6647812
>y-you're a ledditor
I can do it too!
Also there's a pretty clear fucking difference when one medium has far quicker progression in terms of technology and overall culture. Like it or not, stuff like the GBA has a lot more in common with its predecessors than the 3DS or Switch and games that appeared were far more primitive and limited in terms of scope than what gets shat out onto modern handhelds.
Don't worry though, I'm sure you'll just call me a redditor again instead of actually acknowledging that the definitions of 'retro' on this board are dumb as fuck and pretty clearly just mean "whatever was in MY childhood is retro! stop discussing games three years older than it! REEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

>>6647820
My fucking sides.

>>6647815
Announcing a report is against the rules

>>6647820
Thanks I’ll do this next time

>>6647684
Gba was released in 2001 its old, anyone who says it isn't is even older

You can leave and go somewhere else that has a definition of retro that you agree with then.

>>6647948
NooooOOOooo! Change your rules change your rules change your rules!!! I want to talk to the big boys about my toys!!! YOU SHOULD CHANGE YOUR RULES
PLEASE CHANGE THE RULE

>>6647947
xbox wasn't in my childhood, never gave a shit about it, just think it's utterly hilarious how half the regulars on this board pretty much just use it to go "NOOOOOO WHY DOESN'T ANYBODY DISCUSS MY SHOVELWARE FROM YESTERYEAR DUMB ZOOMER NORMIES" as if a single year difference between hardware is going to make everything released on it not retro

The word "retro" literally MEANS everything up to the Dreamcast. If we wait 50 years does the PS4 magically become a retro console? Obviously not.

GBA is after the Dreamcast so it's not retro, but also it will never BE retro.

>>6647773
Discuss it on /v/, then. Or, you know, on reddit.

>>6647965
Why can't there be a new word that comes after retro and build a containment board for that

Mobile SNES. Nothing wrong with talking about that.

>>6647995

>>6647820
noooo why are you telling THEM our secret way of operation?!

>>6647820

>People saying portable SNES
While there were many snes ports on gba, there were also lots of exclusive games showing advanced features which clearly mark GBA as not retro (examples: minish cap, warioware inc, golden sun, advance wars)

>>6647820
This is also good because it keeps new age stuff like COD and Halo at bay.

>>6647684
Let’s just discuss it bro. The worst that will happen is some early 20s smooth brain will shriek ‘zoomer’ at us before a mod deletes the thread.

Playing Densetsu no Starfy 2 today, fun wetformer with a gorgeous art style. What are some other good Japan exclusives for GBA? I’ve heard the bit Generations games are cool.

Hmm

>>6648198
I've never told you to back to anywhere. But you should go back to r/gamecube schizo

Deus Ex is considered retro and the Dreamcast became retro when the Wii U (the first 8th gen console) came out.
/vr/ should make 6th gen retro when the PS5 and Xbox Series X come out.

>>6647684
>It’s right on the cut-off date to be discussed on /vr/
You mean two years after it? Are zoomers really so stupid they can't even count anymore? Embarrassing...

>>6648218
>/vr/ should make 6th gen retro when the PS5 and Xbox Series X come out.
6th Gen will never be retro.
Not after PS5 and Xbox SeX come out.
Not in three years.
Not in ten years.
Not in a hundred years.
6th Gen will never, ever be retro.

>>6648225
woah cool i wonder when that decision was made
oh 2014? cool i wonder how long it's been since then, oh it's been 6 years? cool gba should be retro

>>6648230
>he still thinks "retro" is about how old something is
Zoomers, zoomers, zoomers. What are we gonna do with you guys?

>>6648234
i literally pointed out that 6th gen stuff, especially shit like the gba, is more in line with the 16-bit era of games in terms of tech and aesthetic and stuff like the 3ds and switch is far more evolved than it
stop being dumb, gba falls into the retro category for anyone who isn't a contrarian janny

>we're now in 2020, so the middle ages should end later

>>6648239
Zoomers on life support. This is perfect.

>>6648237
>i literally pointed out that 6th gen stuff, especially shit like the gba, is more in line with the 16-bit era of games in terms of tech and aesthetic and stuff like the 3ds and switch is far more evolved than it
That's your opinion. Still doesn't fit with the definition of "retro" this board has been run under for all these years. Why do you think it's going to suddenly change now just because you're upset your threads about Mario Kart Super Circuit aren't taking off on /v/?

>retro style is a style that is imitative or consciously derivative of lifestyles, trends, or art forms from the historical past, including in music, modes, fashions, or attitudes. It may also be known as "vintage inspired".
The GBA has been dead and obsolete for a decade and a half anon. It's time to put on your big boy pants and accept that your stuff isn't the only old manchildren shit.

>which clearly mark GBA as not retro
I can't think of anything the GBA can do which is clearly not retro. It had hardware sprite scaling, rotation and alpha blending, like the Jaguar, Saturn and PlayStation. It had a CPU powerful enough for graphical effects, but nowhere near as powerful as the N64. It was more powerful than 5th gen handhelds, sure, but nothing about it couldn't have been made in 1999. The CPU in the GBA is from 1994.

>>6648239
>I'm retarded and I don't know what the word "retro" means

>>6648270
For some reason, /vr/ uses a completely different definition of the word retro.

>>6648279
because the manchildren jannies and half the regulars on this board are buttmad that consoles three years older than what they grew up playing share more in common with those than the modern always-online microtransaction-pushing 4 quintillion polygon consoles of now
it's the 90s version of 'fortnite bad minecraft good' except with a healthy dose of channerisms

>>6648270
Yes, you are.

The "rules" are merely a suggestion. The fact of the matter is that the sixth generation is and will forever be retro, no amount of chimping out and waaahposting (yikes) is going to change that. There’s now always at least one 6IXTHGANG thread in the catalog, and there are many more where this one came from. You lose. Grow up and move on.

BASED thread OP. Start another one and send more grammpashit to the archives. Maybe a PS2 General this time?

>>6648354
I personally think the PS2, GameCube and Xbox are in this strange limbo where they're not quite modern anymore but they're still not quite retro yet.
On the one hand, this generation gave birth to many zoomer franchises like Ratchet & Clank and Call of Duty, and online first truly started here.
On the other hand, there are still many traditionally retro games there and it's the last generation made with CRTs in mind (even if there are many games on them that support 480p and higher, then again, the Dreamcast did support 480p and that is definitely retro).

The Wii is in an even stranger limbo since there are still some new officially licensed games being made for it (the Dreamcast doesn't count since it's new games are homebrew) and it had tons of zoomershit but it was still made with CRTs in mind and many games there wouldn't be out of place in a retro console.
And the definitely modern Xbox 360 came out before the Wii.

>>6648408
Do you consider the original R&C and Call of Duty to be zoomer, or just what the franchises became? First CoD is even a PC exclusive, and the first few Ratchet & Clank games have a different feel to them compared to everything Future and beyond.

Still not deleted. I guess GBA is retro after all.

>>6648472
Imagine unironically being a specimen like >>6648354 and getting dabbed on hard by based 6IXTHGANG zoomers.
