Can you really call a game "retro" when you've probably never played it until it got popular 10-15 years later?
>>

Yes. It would still be a retro game. It just wouldn't be nostalgic to you specifically, which seems to be the word you are looking for.

gud post, /thread

>>3225504
Yeah, if a game was released 20 years ago but I'm only playing it now does that somehow mean it wasn't released 20 years ago?
>>
>>3225585
It apparantly does if you're playing a game that never came out in America.

I feel like this was supposed to turn into some sort of "gotcha" to justify wanting to post GBA/PS2.
>>
>>3225504
Yes. There are many games that never came out in certains region like in my case the US.

There's also for a lot of people a limit to what games the could get. For me I grew up on NES/SNES/N64/Genesis, I was limited in when I could get new games. I swapped games around a lot at local places where I could trade a game for a dollar and a lot of what I picked up was stuff I read about in nintendo power and I had very little readily available internet access until I was about 13 or 14. For new games I was usually limited to what my local wal mart had.

Anyone who thinks what your asking is fact is nothing more than a hipster faggot. As your picture implies your talking about FE4 for me and many others there was very little way of even getting this game or knowing it existed outside of japan.

It's a little messy but not bad at all, I had no problem understanding him. Chill your asses out and/or quit samefagging.

God I'm sick of seeing this.

Nice.

This is probably the worst post I've ever seen.

What a dumb question. When calling something retro, the only parameter considered is age which does not change depending on perspective. A game released in 1990 is 26 years old for all of us. I'm actually playing your pic right now because of the new translation and it's great, but that doesn't somehow make it not retro.

>>3225504
Idk senpai. If its new to you then damn.

Can you really call a game "retro" when it got released after the 1999 cutoff date?

Such a weird arguement. Theres tons of little games that only a few anons played and unlike Geneology of the Holy War they never get theie day in the sun. Are they somehow not retro now? Or are they retro until they get a revival and then its new age hipster bullshit?

The little faggot who just found /vr/ will soon learn that him memeposting shit isn't welcome here.

You really can't call anything "retro" unless it's new and made with a dated aesthetic/sensibility.
