think of it like this; would you have considered the SNES retro in 2006?

there's a much bigger difference between games released in 1996 and 2006, than there was in games from 2006 and 2016

really, other than slightly faster hardware and better resolution, games haven't improved all that much in the past 10 or so years


it really just kind of depends what you want to consider. 1996 is already really post-SNES, PS1 and Saturn were already out for a few years and it's the year we got Mario 64, Tomb Raider, Mario Kart 64, Crash Bandicoot. so I guess I'd argue that a lot of the foundation for modern gaming (though Goldeneye isn't released until 97, which is really the beginning of the rise in console FPS games so we're not QUITE there in 96 yet)

there is admittedly a bigger jump between SNES and Xbox 360 than there is between Xbox 360 and now, but idk
