2000 is actually my favorite year for retro gaming. Among others, we got FF9, Chrono Cross, Vagrant Story, Legend of Mana, Threads of Fate, Year of the Dragon, THPS2, Soul Reaver, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Grandia II, JJBA, Banjo-Tooie, Kirby 64, Majora's Mask, Perfect Dark, Pokemon Gold and Silver, and most of all, the PS2 launch lineup.

1. I was born in 1987.
2. Reminder that several of the PS2's launch titles were also released in arcades or on the PS1 and/or the Dreamcast, and the DC version of Unreal Tournament is based off the PS2 version.
That being said, my favorite of those games are Midnight Club, Smuggler's Run, Tekken Tag Tournament, DOA2, and SSX.

How about for 6th gen only, we make the cutoff on a console-by-console basis?

>Dreamcast
All of its official US releases are retro, no question.

>PS2
Due to being the only console of its gen to build off last gen rather than make something entirely new (and worse graphics compared to Xbox, GC and sometimes even the Dreamcast), any PS2 game released in 2000 or 2001 is retro.

However, with the sole exception of Contra: Shattered Soldier, everything released on or after January 1, 2002 is not retro, baw, abloo, söýged, reported, etc.

>Gamecube
Melee is retro because it exclusively represents Nintendo history from N64/GBC and earlier eras.
>muh Roy strawman! Point discarded!
He was a Smash original character. Shut your mouth faggot.

Anyways, as the Gamecube is easily the most zoomery 6th gen console (and the Wii is basically a repackaged Gamecube), the entire rest of its library is not retro, baw, abloo, söýged, reported, etc.

>Xbox
So technologically advanced compared to its competitors that the hardware itself is firmly in the modern camp. However, three of its notable launch titles are retro.
PGR is retro as it directly builds on a Dreamcast came released the year before.
DOA3 is retro because it follows up the previous year's retro DOA2 with no meaningful changes.
Combat Evolved is retro because 1, it can be played on pre-2000 Windows hardware, and 2, it's Halo 2 that normie fratboys fawned over.

However, the rest of the library is simply too modern to be retro and is thus not retro, baw, abloo, söýged, reported, etc.

So that should appease every 6th gen advocate here and if you object, feel free to suck a fart out my ass. And to the anti 6th gen autist, mail yourself a bomb. Why do that? Because you're probably retarded enough to do so.

For me, it's Silent Hill 3. It's not my favorite SH game, but it's still incredible. The game almost feels like a time capsule. Something about the soundtrack and the urban setting just scream early 00s to me.

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.

Why should we have to give something up to let in you assholes when you could just as easily go somewhere else? Why are you constantly begging to be let into a place that doesn't want you?

because /v/ is legit fucking garbage.
desu I hope the mods are taking note of all this spam and outright make a new board at this point. I think it would probably be the best course of action.

initially I was opposed to the notion of adding more vidya boards, but /vrpg/ has proved to me so far that might not be a bad idea at all. It's pure, concentrated video game discussion. It's great.

Name me one other place with as much traffic as this board (aka more potential for discussion) where you can not only seriously discuss your favorite 6th gen and earlier games, but also shitpost and anonymously call people faggots and niggers without the tedium of being permabanned and the fear of getting cancelled IRL.
Right now, /vr/ checks off all those boxes except the 6th gen part, so that's what I and others are advocating for.
>what we want to talk about
Reminder that we 6th gen advocates are also part of /vr/, and most of us also love those consoles that are indisputably retro. We just can't rest until the last piece of the puzzle is placed.
/vr/ is almost perfect, but 6th gen exclusion is like that stubborn piece of food stuck within an otherwise perfect smile. So I and others like me want to floss out that last barrier to having a perfect board.

Regardless of what the rules say, you can't stop people in their 20s from coming to 4chan and they will end up comparing 5th gen games to 6th gen, if Boomers can't see that without loosing their fucking minds about >muh 1999 rule, then /vr/ is going to suck forever.

Even if you are 37, the vast majority of people who have enjoyed discussing gen 4 and prior since /vr/ was created are younger than you. Being half a decade older than moot (may he RIP in pieces/burn in hell) does not give you any authority, you self-important retard. The library of the GBA has vastly more in common with the paradigms of game design of the 4th gen than it does with the 6th or even 5th. I was born in the 80's and grew up with an NES, so miss me with the "the adults are talking here" shtick.

The argument for it is that as time goes forward new things become old and old things become classic. We need to bring in 6th gen so we can get rid of 3rd gen and back and create /cvr/ - classic retro games.

Retro is like the classic era of movies or classic rock. No matter how much time passes classic rock will never include nirvana nor will Godfather be including in the classic age of movies. And that is also why video games made after mid 90s will never truly be retro. That being said I think 6th generation is worthy of discussion, plenty of gems.

Thing is, nobody denies those consoles aren't getting to retro status, it's that THIS board's definition of retro is just consoles pre-2000.
The fact that Hiroshima Nagasaki just added >>>/vrpg/ board imo is probably sometihng that'll mean we'll get a 6th-7th gen board.

We’ve discussed this already, but the classic retro handheld GBA absolutely should be permitted. It is considered by most to be a continuation of the classic retro console SNES and its game library consists almost entirely of classic retro 2D style games. It has a strong retro vibe and soul for days. It really makes sense to be able to discuss classic 2D side scrolling action platformers such as Ninja Five-o, Astro Boy: Omega Factor and Lilo & Stitch, to name but a few titles in its vast library of retro classic 2D gems. Not to mention retro classics like the Castlevania, Fire Emblem, Densetsu no Starfy and Golden Sun series, as well as all of the undeniably retro classics that got left in Japan such as Tomato Adventure and Magical Vacation. Intelligent discussion of these 2D retro classic GBA titles will be an overall boon to the discourse on /vr/ and enhance board culture in general.

Not me, I’m salty that 5th gen is considered retro when it’s just the 6th gen but worse as 3D gaming at home was still experimental and 3D at home in general came a generation too early due to the hardware constraints.

By allowing discussion of 5th gen, that has just opened up this argument that therefore 6th should also be allowed due to their similarity in mechanics and style.

Keep /vr/ to consoles that are largely 2D only (I.e 4th gen and earlier) and no argument can be made that Halo is now retro.

The PSP remaster was pretty good. I was surprised at how it was completely voice acted, every single line of dialogue is voiced. The gameplay is kinda DnD-esque, too, with how the traps and environment interaction work.

I hated the level-up system though. You have to use weapons to level up, but weapons are limited-use, and you have an inventory of only 20 items. So you're stuck hoarding weapons until you encounter an enemy that's worth using them on.

Conker Live & Reloaded is closer to an Xbox 360 game than it is to Conker's Bad Fur Day, despite sitting in the generation between both. Everything before 2000 is a clear and easy to understand cutoff point. Allowing the Dreamcast because it was released in 1998 makes sense, especially when it's close graphically to the N64 than it is to the GameCube. GameCube, PS2, and Xbox are painfully not retro. You can kind of make a case for the GBA because of the SNES ports, but why not just talk about the SNES originals at that point?

It does not. Homebrew is not different in any meaningful way from the indie hogvomit that gets dumped onto Steam and GOG.
Homebrew is not retro, simple as.

Lol learn to read and then see what the rules say. "Retro" as defined by the mandate of the board. Your personal opinion on what 'retro' should or should not encompass don't mean anything to anyone.

all titles are N64 unless otherwise stated
Best post-1999 retro games for me:
>Pokemon Trading Card Game 1/2 (GB Color)
>Capcom vs SNK 1/2 (Dreamcast)
>Mario Party 3
>Perfect Dark
>Jedi Power Battles (PS1)
>Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal (Game Boy Color)
>Pokemon Stadium 1/2
>Mario Tennis
>007 TWINE (Multiplat; N64)
>Conkers Bad Fur Day
>Shenmue 2 (Dreamcast)
>Banjo-Tooie
>Zelda Majoras Mask
>Turok 3
>F1 World Grand Prix 1/2 (Multiplat; N64)
>Pokemon Pinball (GBC)
>Team Buddies (PS1)
>Music 2000 (PS1)

Does DK 64 count? It came out on December 1999 and I got it at Xmas 99... so I only played it for under a week of 1999.

Also, I hear Mickeys Speedway USA (N64, Rare, 2000) is good, but I dunno.
To be honest, I could continue. But just to pick a top 5 or so:
Mario Tennis, Pokemon gold/silver, Banjo-Tooie, Perfect Dark

Then don't come to this board if you don't like what the rules lay out the board os here for. I don't give a fuck what you think of the rules, they're not hard to understand and if they're too much for you go make a reddit or something.

>> No.6717724

Yeah, and I don't give a rat's ass what you think about what I and many others think about the rules, so shove your 5200 controller up your ass and stop talking, faggot.

It deserves to be here more than Pee-er Stolar, as it's a game non-s0ilets actually care about. But no, neither are retro.

>> No.6718164

>>6717724
No. I won't stop. Because you are here acting like an entitled brat demanding we cater to you and I have zero interest in that. If you like what the board is here to discuss, then you're welcome to join in. If you're just going to have tantrums that it's not here to talk about the GBA then you're in the wrong place and your opinion is meaningless.

It's a big internet, go find a forum that suits what you want to post, because this ain't it and we're not changing for your whiny baby ass.

Pier Solar is 100% retro by the board rules. Sorry if that hurts your feelings.

And that's a bad thing, and disingenuous to boot. pee pee bernie stolar neither looks nor plays like anything released on the genny during its actual lifetime. Not to mention it was developed by filthy yuros who are not only subhuman but nonexistent.
Also it's homebrew, aka it's not an official release, aka it doesn't count. If at a basketball game, a fan takes a ball and lands a three-pointer after the game is over, does it count? Of course it fucking doesn't.
Only shots by players during the game matter. Only official releases during the system's lifespan matter.

Doesn't matter, that's the board rules. I could explain why they are how they are but you're too stupid to make it worth the effort.

That's right, ohh so alone except for the people who matter and those who enforce the rules. Go ahead and make another doomed GBA thread and then scream into your pillow over how alone I am.
