PC Engine isn't bad, but it is a bit niche.
I bought a Coregrafx and a SuperSD System 3, and I've only ever really played Rondo of Blood and sometimes Devil's Crush.
It's a great console if you like shoot 'em ups, but it really feels like it lacks the variety of the Genesis or SNES.

>> No.6416228

Dreamcast is not retro in any form of the word. Why /vr/ has decided that is totally beyond me. There is nothing about the system that's retro. It's a fully online functional console that utilized DLC and modern, open world games. Headhunter is pretty much GTA and Shenmue was 110% modern. Nothing retro about Shenmue at all. it also started QTE.

Guess the idea is Dreamcast was the last of the feel of the lost arcade style game. As for the online I know you will easily argue against it but Sega Genesis and Super Famicom both had ways to connect online and play games. Might not be the same as Dreamcast but it was there. As for QTE we can look at Dragon's Lair.

All 6th gen systems are "retro" in terms of user experience compared to what came after. What did you do with your ps2 when you first got it? You took it out of the box, plugged it into a CRT, put a game in and pressed power, and you're off to the races. For a ps3/4 whatever its, unbox, plug into your HD flat panel via hdmi. Input wifi information, connect to wifi. Your system needs to update. Download, restart. Do you have an account? If yes sign in and import account info. If no, sign up for account. Enter dashboard. Advertisements for latest titles/offers are visible. Do you want to watch youtube, browse store, stream media from local network, or play game? Select game. Your game needs to update to use online features, which are vital to many game functions. Download update? (3.4GB) System will restart when finished. Etcetcetc. As if ps2 or gc etc isn't a quaint simple experience in comparison

On the other hand when I got a Vice City itch a few years ago I found a cheap ps2, brought it home, plugged it in, and was playing within 5 minutes. That’s a major draw to pre-always online consoles.

>in any form of the word
Modern use of the word "retro" comes from the fashion industry. The word was used in the 70s to describe fashions from as little as ten years earlier. These days, the fashions of the 70s are considered retro, so it's fair to assume that the word "retro" itself doesn't refer to a particular time period and can refer to styles from as little as 10 years ago (though 13-20 years is more common.) The word itself obviously has nothing to do with whether a video game console can connect to the internet, so it's not "any form of the word," you dipshit.

Not sure what this autistic /v/-tier meltdown is trying to say. Is it trying to say that /vr/ isn't already infested with weeaboo coomers, or is it trying to say that there weren't late-era 5th-gen games like Spider-Man 2, Capcom vs. SNK Pro, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Mega Man X6, KOF '99 and Dragon Quest VII that were all released for the PlayStation in 2001, 12 years before /vr/ was created in 2013?
