@root Gameboy being retro… sure, but Wii, Xbox360, PS3?, … please no :(
@xianc78 @lanodan @root Sometimes it just feels like if something has to be made in the previous century to be considered "retro", otherwise it will never be retro.

@ryo @root @lanodan Too me, when the kids who grew up with those consoles are adults, then it's retro. People who were 3 years old when those consoles came out are now over 18. And zoomers really seem to be nostalgic for the Wii given all the Wii Sports and Mario Kart Wii music remixes on Youtube.

But it might be harder to accept because those consoles set the standard for modern gaming (ditching memory cards, DLC, etc) so it's hard for people to accept them as retro. They also had really long lifespans. The last official Wii game was released two years ago. (Some limited edition port of Retro City Rampage)

@xianc78 @ryo @root Well it also feels weird to have your childhood being labeled as retro.
@lanodan @xianc78 @root My childhood has been labeled as retro 20 years ago already, nothing too weird here.
