>With the release of the 9th generation of consoles, the 6th generation and the Wii will now be considered "retro", though the remainder of the seventh generation (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U) will not.

I still don't get this meme. Martinet doesn't say "bing".
Is it a joke because of the Bing search engine or something?

It's a Sonic the Hedgehog meme. "Bing bing" is the sound of hitting a bumper, while "WAHOO!!" is what Sonic says when he boosts.

the Wii is an overclocked Gamecube with motion controls

[Anonymous No.5980765]

Maybe a better way to look at it is.. how long has it been since a given system was actually relevant in the market.

PS2 - last AAA titles came out 2007-8ish (GOWII, Persona 4)
Xbox - That I can recall, had the most chad version of Outrun 2 SP in 2006
Cube - idk but probably shit was happening up until the wii came out

Dreamcast - writing on the wall since 2000, officially dead 2002 in western market.

There's a difference

Xbox 360 came out 15 years ago

15 years plus two generations progress is what many people consider retro.

Seeing as the next gen is coming soon and it’s over 15 years old, you technically did not shitpost.


But I wouldn’t put 7th gen here, though I do think 6th gen has a place here, and wouldn’t make any significant changes here in fact it would relieve some of the shitposting and being new discussion here. This is a slow board but it’s also stagnant and varied discussion is dying off as the same exact threads start popping up all the time here.

Man of course that's what your mind first jumps to. You're a living incarnation of basedjack. Every childhood reconstructionist manchild such as yourself should be purged off this board. That's not what this board is primarily about, sixth gen retro or not.

Every single human being on the planet knows that the "retro era" of gaming refers to "the CRT TV era", i.e. "6th gen and earlier".

The ONLY place on earth, online or offline, where anyone would ever suggest 6th gen isn't "retro" is /vr/.

[Anonymous No.5980881]

>>5980869
This is correct

The only reason 6th gen isn’t allowed here because it’s 4chan of all places and autistic spergs flip shit if anything challenges their super cool club of talking about doom and crt TVs endlessly until they die of heart attacks at the ripe age of 37. They don’t want to see ps2 threads yet they already have ps2/psp/wii u emulation threads where they smugly bypass the rules.

It's supposed to be the sound of a coin being collected, since the meme used to be "bing bing *wahoo* 1up!" I think people mistook it for the sounds Mario makes while doing a triple jump, so the 1up part got left out over time.

this but it serves as an argument for allowing 6th gen since the 5th and 4th gens are also past the meme 80s back to the future miami definition of retro.

As much as I'd like to discuss the silent Hill games beyond 1 here I don't think the 6th generation consoles should be considered retro. The 6th generation feels closer to this gen than the 5th gen in terms of gameplay, style and graphics
