Topic	So at what point did you realize that PS2/GC-era games are retro now?

It's a fairly loose rule, and I do think that there is some kind of a curve by which older games became retro more quickly than newer games. For example, as Chain pointed out, the PS360Wii are now old, and in fact, all three will be 15 years old by the end of the year (360 hit it last year). Obviously the later titles from that gen aren't retro yet, but if I were hosting some sort of retro gaming channel on Youtube or something like that, I wouldn't object to spotlighting Wii Sports at this point. --- darkx Games beaten in 2021 - 34; Most recent - Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus <cite>Underleveled posted [p:958999458] in So at what...
