So many classics on this handheld, feels like it was made specifically for the kind of hardcore gamer who cut his teeth on the 2D side-scrolling action platforming era of the 3rd and 4th generation.

Agreed, in many ways it is dare I say the quintessential retro system. It’s like a love letter to the SNES.

>> No.6698424

>>6698408
It is, really
Fun fact, the GBA is the only Nintendo platform since the NES (besides the Virtual Boy) to not have a new mainline Mario title released on it.
But nobody noticed or cared because we got Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros 2 and 3, and Yoshi's Island.
I'm trying to track down a Gameboy Player disk for my gamecube, since I just threw down for the GCHD mkII adapter on that.

Library's pretty terrible--bad ports, new decent games are mostly worse in every way than 8/16-bit gen, and it has bad sound. It's redeemed by a handful of good-to-great games, like Rhythm Tengoku and Advance Wars

>> No.6698484

You know what's sad? How short the GBA's lifespan was. It was released in 2001 and the DS came out in 2004. Sure, some games came out after that, but most developers hopped on to the DS pretty quickly. I really liked the GBA as an extension of the SNES and the sorts of games that would come out for 16 bit consoles but I wish it had another few years.

The Gba hardware is made of parts from before 1999 era , it produces retro graphics way less advanced than a Dreamcast or a PlayStation. Has ports ranging from Atari to SNES and Genesis consoles , there is even DooM ports for it.

The GBA is NOT RETRO. What's so hard to understand? The only retro hardware is whatever came out before 1999, this is a very important year and the only thing that matters. Hardware capability and graphics have nothing to do with it. What games you played as a kid is irrelevant. The ONLY thing that matters is 1999. You have to draw the line somewhere, and it makes perfect sense to draw it here because the sorts of games that came out after 1999 are fundamentally different than the ones that preceded it. Really, 1999 is the year that separates retro from contemporary gaming.

Well first of all the GBA has a couple of 3D games so that wasn't my point. And of course 2D doesn't mean retro. As I said, you have to draw the line somewhere. GBA isn't retro because it came out in 2001, and unfortunately that's a couple years after 1999 and so it isn't retro.

Sure, Sonic Advance came out the same year as Sonic Adventure 2, but it was on 2001 hardware, not 90s hardware like the Dreamcast, and it shows in its distinctly 2000s game design.

To me, it's obvious that if you had to draw a line somewhere, you'd draw it between 5th gen and 6th gen, between the PS1/Saturn/N64 and the GBA/PS2/Gamecube/Xbox. Can you think of a better place to draw the line? I don't think so. The choice that was made for /vr/ is the best choice that could have been made. 4th gen is retro and 5th gen is retro because their hardware was launched pre-1999, 6th gen is not retro because it came out in 2000 or later, and that's all that matters.

This makes sense to me. Undertale and Fez are distinctly postmodern games. Although the graphics are less advanced than the N64, their game design is clearly 21st century. Cutting things off at 1999/2000 matters because we are talking about distinct eras not in visuals but in design. The same goes with GBA, right? It's just too different compared to the SNES and N64, which are retro consoles with a lot in common with each other (the most important: they were released in the 90s).

The only reason people are so autistic about not making an exception for GBA, is because despite what people claim, /vr/ actually *IS* for defending one's childhood games as being retro. the 1999 rule is fantastically stupid because 5th gen babies get to pretend their modern 3D games are retro AND be elitist about the GBA despite it being closer to 4th gen games than 5th gen.

Also during the early days of /vr/ GBA was banned from discussion, but then so was 5th gen and 5th gen babbies cried, and cried about how their games predate 1999 until they got their way.

tl;dr: 5th gen shouldn't be on /vr/, GBA has always been technically against the rules but only reluctantly so until 5th gen autists needed to defend their modern consoles as retro.

Zoomers redditor memes are so bad. They're proving the point that the GBA shouldn't be retro. Compared to retro handhelds, the graphics look too advanced.
Of course the graphics are less advanced than home consoles, because handhelds are tiny and have less power.
5th gen didn't become retro because "5th gen babbies cried" it became retro because it became retro.
GBA will never become retro. Maybe it's retro by your definition, but it's not retro by this board's definition. Deal with it.

Poor logic, many consoles that get discussed here have more advance graphics than the OG Gameboy. It's a pocket SNES.

>5th gen didn't become retro because "5th gen babbies cried" it became retro because it became retro.
Actually no, if you look in the archives the very first version of the sticky explicitly said 5th gen was not allowed despite the cut off date being 1999 (intended to allow 4th gen games released in the late 90s to be discusses) and on the first day of /vr/ there was a lot of posts from 5th gen babbies crying that if the rule says 1999 then their 3D modern consoles must be retro. And rather than just rewriting the rules to be more succinct that 4th gen was the cut off, moot just gave in and allowed 5th gen.

>GBA will never become retro. Maybe it's retro by your definition, but it's not retro by this board's definition. Deal with it.
Well the board's definition has changed before.

No I absolutely do think that, but it already happened with moot pussing out and allowing 5th gen. The fact is, if this board remained at it's 4th gen cut-off people would still want to discuss GBA occasionally, but no one would be arguing for other 6th gen consoles because the only reason people do is because of how similar they are to 5th gen games.

Allowing one generation of modern 3D texture polygonal consoles because the originally 1999 rule was so poorly written is what has ruined /vr/, not people wanting to discuss GBA.

Exactly my point. They're consoles. The tiny handhelds like Gameboy have much less processing power so of course they have worse graphics. You have proved my point.

Nice projection. I don't claim this to be a "cool kids" place, it's full of losers. Since you're an even bigger loser though, you see this place as having cool kids and you want your childhood handheld to be allowed here so you can talk about it here and feel like a the cool kids you look up to.

This can't be repeated enough. Graphics don't matter. Hardware doesn't matter. Game design doesn't matter. What games you played as a kid doesn't matter. 1999 matters. It's a very important year, the final retro year in fact. Hardware made after it just isn't retro and never will be. I don't care if something as powerful as the PS4 came out in 1999 and something like the NES came out in 2000, it doesn't matter what contradictions people find, if it's beyond the cutoff it is NOT RETRO.

GBA is definitely /vr/
GBA can be played on the Wide-Boy 64 which is a peripheral for the N64, which is a console made in 1996. Who cares if the add-on is made after 2001, as long as it runs on hardware that was made before 2000, it counts, just like how games like Conker's Bad Fur Day and Fifa 2005 count. The Mobile Game Boy Adapter is an add on for the Game Boy Color released in 2001 which allows you to connect to the internet using your GBC and that is 100% allowed so why isn't it the Wide-Boy 64 allowed?

In what way?
5th was 1999 or prior, like the SNES. That's what matters for being allowed on this board. PS5 is after 1999 so it's not allowed and doesn't have as much in common with 5th gen as the SNES does.
So you're just referring to some other aspects of the consoles that you autistically think matter more, like media type?

The Wide-Boy 64 is a 2001 peripheral as well which allows you to play GBA games on it, so GBA games should count using the logic that you're running them on 1996 hardware.

Because the justification for Dreamcast being considered retro is the 8th generation being released, not "suck it zoomie faggots DC is retro because I want it to be and I declare it to be the last retro console ever!" as people seem to think the sticky says. People pointed out that in 2014 the Dreamcast was older than the SNES was when it started to be considered retro. I think that was poor reasoning, but that's precedent we have now. 3D console generations are retro after they're 15 years old and they're at least 2 generations behind the current.

>Justification for the change in a console's status as being retro is linked to the release of a new generation.
Even if it says "1999", that's clearly not the only rule and if the no "5th gen" rule could change and so could the "no DC" rule, then presumably using the exact same reasoning for allowing the DC in 2014 would be applicable for changing the 1999 rule.

It wasn't retro previously, but its status changed with the release of 8th gen. It's not because it was released in 1999 since that was still true when it was against the rules, if the DC's retro status was actually linked with its year of release then that "8th gen" qualifier wouldn't be needed nor would it have been banned in the first place.

>This is true about the Dreamcast.... You said "3D console generations" which is different than the Dreamcast.
The entire 5th gen and Dreamcast weren't initially considered for being 3D majority consoles. As soon as 5th gen was allowed, that already started a precedent that 3D can be retro if they're old enough, at the time it was just using the "1999" cut-off date as a reason for why 3D gaming should be considered retro.
Once that happened it was only a matter of time until the DC would be allowed on the basis that it's a 3D console that was older than many retro consoles were when they were considered retro. The fact it was released in 1999 was a lucky coincidence since clearly moot or mods didn't have any intention of including the DC when that 1999 rule was made.

So actually it's not different, the allowance for 3D consoles was reasonable considering they predated the "1999" cut-off date and that opened the way for the DC being allowed and with the DC being allowed "with the release of the 8th generation" means that the 1999 rule isn't just arbitrary, it's also meaningless now that the DC needed to be quantified with it's "two generation prior to current gen/15 years old is retro" justification

The 1999 rule has been superseded now, it's obsolete, it should be changed and we can stop having multiple troll threads going where people are either flooding GBA in protest and smug dickheads making shitposts mocking "zoomies". If 6th gen gets allowed, I'd say they're would be fewer 6th gen posts than shitposts now.

If you think threatening to continue making troll threads will make you get your way, that's really sad.
Also, I'm fine with multiple troll threads. They get deleted within a day. If there were multiple 6th gen threads that were allowed and stayed up, that would ruin the board.
>If 6th gen gets allowed, I'd say they're would be fewer 6th gen posts than shitposts now.
It doesn't matter what you say, because your opinion is zoompilled and wrong. Even if you're right, that doesn't matter either. I prefer 10 troll threads that get deleted over 1 single 6th gen thread that is allowed and stays up. Why? Because it makes you seeeeeethe, nana nana boo boo ;^)

You can spam shitposts about them all you want, and they will be deleted within a day.
If you think those consoles will be allowed because people would prefer not to have shitposts, you're wrong, because if they were allowed there would be just as many 6th gen threads that stay up than there are 6th gen threads that briefly go up and are deleted now.
