It will, eventually people will stop throwing tantrums, and either they leave, or they'll just do what they always do and discuss the old games they're actually interested in. Perhaps some of them will some day take the leap and check out some of the legendary classics of 6th gen.

Honestly, retooling Donkey Donkey Picnic into a Super Mario game was a great idea, regardless of if the original Super Mario Bros. would get localized or not, the resulting game is really good, and much better than the game it's based on.

How I wish that was true. We got a few main-line Mario Staples out of SMB2 like bob-ombs and POW blocks but Miyamoto is way too adamant about making sure SMB2 stuff is largely forgotten outside of maybe Birdo in spinoffs and Shy Guys in Yoshi's Island and Captain Toad. All we've gotten in mainline Mario after Mario 3 was a single level with Ninji in SMW, a few mutant Shy Guys and Snifits in SM64, and a single song in SM3DW.

YK: DDP / Mario USA / Mario Madness was directed by Tanabe with minimal input from Miyamoto so it makes sense that it’s not referenced as much, just like we don’t see much carried over from the Mario Land series into later mainline Mario games.

Actually, it never does. If anything it slowly gets worse as the board is consumed by people who prefer the new rules, and then it's changed forever. A recent example is /asp/

So the term retro gaming. What does that even mean? Hmmm lets google it for a moment, shall we?
>Retrogaming, also known as classic gaming and old school gaming, is the playing or collecting of older personal computer, console, and/or arcade video games in contemporary times. Usually, retrogaming is based upon systems that are obsolete or discontinued

Oh. So I guess it's ok to include games from 2007 and below. Imagine losing your shit because mods decided to get with the times. I sure can't

It's going to be shit posted in here for a while. Give it a few days and it should calm down. Boomers complaining doesn't help at all either.

It's gotten worse because you pathetic boomer faggots have stopped talking about games to make complaints to the mods, discords, and /qa/, AND generals where you endlessly bitch about the changes.

The only reason the catalog doesn't have old /vr/ threads is because old posters have stopped making them. You are all just hysterical fucking women. It's so mentally ill. Just keep posting like normal.

And don't even get me started on the anti-GBA SEETHE gen poster false flagging Gen 6 threads.

I'm talking about the shitposting and the seethe that has taken place in response. Shitposting is an art, and people were doing an excellent job at it for the first two days after the rule change.

In case you zoomers don't know what this picture means, it's an "instruction manual" a book that used to come with video games. This is the SNES port of The Outbreak one of the hardest arcade shmups of all time.

why do you have so little free time? I've seen the divorce rates in developed countries and surely your kids hate you by now for not endorsing their only fans page or fortnite career?
