There really is no reason at all that the GBA should still be verboten on here. It's a natural fit for the board in nearly every way.

>It's a 2D focused handheld with a number of entries in or ports of /vr/ staple series that already get discussed on here anyway, meaning the rule is already loosely enforced with regards to it.
>It's old enough to have fallen out of popular discussion on 4chan and would thus be unlikely to attract many crossboarders. /v/ has maybe one thread about the console each week that reaches a cap of maybe 200~ replies and /vg/ users who frequently discuss its titles are both rare and likely post here already.
>It's already over sixteen years old and with the release of the Switch has now seen three new generations of Nintendo handhelds come out, putting it on par with the likes of the N64 and PS1.
>Is the final iteration of a /vr/ staple handheld line - the Gameboy family - and it being included would be a solid way to round out the bunch.
>When the Dreamcast got added it was in an exceedingly common position; infrequently discussed by other boards, part of the very early sixth gen for its type of console (home), the last member of its particular line, and home to many games that were already talked about on here anyway. Adding it in no way compromised the quality of the board in itself, and serves as proof that the GBA could theoretically be a fine fit for /vr/ as well.
At absolute worst we should unban it at the end of this console generation, by which point it'll be nearly at its second decade most likely, but I see no reason why it shouldn't have been allowed already with the dawn of the first eight generation handheld.

The fifth gen's top selling and most influential titles in no way shape or form have a arcade heavy influence and arguably are the earliest point at which you could start to argue that the 'cinematic' mindset began to emerge in at the time AAA games.

Further, fifth gen and earlier Handheld CONSOLES are still CONSOLES and as such would be disqualified both for their resolution as would the earliest home console generations since fucking none of them had 240p as the standard resolution.

And the Dreamcast isn't an exception to anything but your stupid list you idiot, the rules of /vr/ don't prohibit to start with.

I wouldn't mind GBA, but I think it's a slippery slope. It's "stylistically" fine, but that'd eventually see DS games, "retro" indie games, etc. show up here too, and the whole point of the board is to give more space to a generation of games that don't get a lot of discussion on a faster board like /v/ or /vg/.

That said, if there needs to be any change, I'd say it's a clarification on allowed PC games, either by a general rule or by a specific list. Diablo 2 and Deus Ex get a lot of discussion here, which I'm fine with since this is a good board for them, but I'd feel better if they were whitelisted on the main post. A lot of post 1999 console games get a pass, particularly in the form of later N64, PSX, and Dreamcast games, along with some GBC games as well. Approving those games in the sticky would just mean less trolling in the threads when they pop up, since the threads themselves already stay up and troll posts get deleted in them by mods. Obviously, no one wants Halo, a game whose beta released in 2000, but pushing the envelope a tad for the PC would allow it to remain on parity with console games.

Later generation systems will inevitably be allowed here one day, whether you can accept it or not. Our perception of what is "old" now is constantly changing and evolving. It used to be the old arcade and atari era from the early 80's and late 70's period that was primarily considered to be the true old-school just 15 or so years ago.

Pretty much every core Nintendo franchise would get a bit of a boost too, like Zelda and Metroid, though they already discuss the games covertly when they come up.

>>4334156
I feel like moving the PC ban to 2001 at least would be healthy for the board as a whole. Way too many popular games on here came out in the two years after the cutoff, the rule is already ignored for PC pretty much.

And I think the GBA has actually fallen to the point where it IS pretty much in line with the other platforms discussed on here in terms of discussion on other boards. Fuck, the PS1 at a minimum is vastly more popular on /v/ and the N64 probably is too.

It was already said how much bullshit that picture contained, there are many /vr/ related actual, non-handheld consoles too that don't apply to those rules.

Now add in handhelds and microcomputers, valid /vr/ as long as they are pre-1999. There's no reason to restrict the argument only about consoles in the first place if the rules of the board don't specify that the content can only be about consoles.

>Every fifth gen game is allowed, regardless of its release date.

Exactly my point, which is pretty cut and dry for consoles whose games release in a stairstep format. For PC, it's a very granular development, you can't take a handful of games from 1995 to 2005 and conclusively point to which ones are 5th and 6th gen. The best we can hope for is a consensus by the /vr/ userbase to allow/disallow specific PC titles.

Also, DS will never be retro to the current generation, despite it having good games that I certainly wouldn't mind discussing. I don't particularly care for the idea of /v2k/, but if there would be somewhere it'd belong, it'd be a board like that. If you're dead set on discussing it here, you're going to have to wait for the original userbase to die off or leave.

For PC, the limit is 1999. Officially. No newer games are allowed by the rules.
For the rest, pretty much everything goes. A 2015 game for the Atari 2600? No problem.
Lately there has been no negativity against early 2000 PC games though, as the argument is generally "It runs on a PC from 1999" and that makes perfect sense, just like with the consoles. The PC is a platform without dedicated specs after all.

I mean I agree and this is why boards go to shit. But it's a lose lose situation. You can ignore the posts. Nothing happens. Someone is going to shitpost. That's what happened to /k/ and why it was a stormfront 2.0 until Mods smartened the fuck up and made /new/.

All the mods have to do is ban any meme newer than 2006 and board quality would be perfect on /vr/. But it wont happen and /vr/ will slowly turn to /v/.

People are going to bitch and moan, but at the end of the day, everyone on /vr/ is a basic bitch who only plays the most popular SNES games.

Any thread not pertaining to a super popular topic almost immediately dies.

I don't care. If you implement a 15-year rule, then it's going to have to be consistent. If you view the Sega Dreamcast as an exception, because it's largely based off of arcade architecture, then that's fine with me.

The 15 year rule is going to hit hard in 2020 when the 360 is considered "retro" by that standard, which also doesn't feel appropriate.

I don't give a shit about GBA threads, or a PS2 thread now and again. If there was a single containment thread, I don't think it would negatively effect the board at all. As long as it was just -one- thread. The issue is that once the floodgates break, everyone's going to post whatever the fuck they want, and people will continue to troll, just instead of demanding GBA, they'll demand PSP and DS.

There isn't a clear answer. I do know the modwork on /vr/ is spotty at best, so maybe the solution is some more consistent mods.

God, yeah, as much as I may want the GBA on it's pretty much entirely because for whatever reason its 'dead' in the mind of /v/. I don't think any of the GC/XB/PS2 trio will reach that status - even five more years from now it'll still probably rabidly shitpost about them and their games.

And fair point on the meme thing but given how quickly they evolve and emerge it seems like it'd be impossible to enforce.

Yeah, the point people need to be driving home if they want GBA here is NOT the X generation/X years old argument. It's because GBA is fundamentally way more similar to the previous generations. PS2/XB/GC were the definitive start of modern gaming and will remain so until there is enough of a change to what is now considered modern gaming.

No, it does not. It does not output a resolution at all as it's fully analog and the internal one is sub-240p.
