4 once that Fire Emblem Musou port comes out.
PS4 Pro is not a new generation. To me a new generation means an entire library of exclusive games. N3DS isn't a new generation because only a few games are unique to it (plus some VC offerings). GBC in contrast is a separate generation from the original GB because it had a whole library of exclusive titles.

What did anything I say have anything fuck all to do with price?

I apologize. Sarcasm is hard to convey over text.
Edit: after re reading this I think, that you think, I was implying your interest in wether something was retro or not was purely for you to make a buck. This isn't what I think or what I was trying to imply at all. I was making a joke about this retro gaming bubble we currently live in.

When buying or selling with other collectors locally, it is understood that retro is defined as being 2 generations or more for that family. So PS2 retro, PS3 is not.
It has nothing to do with price and more to do with how it is advertised.... so if someone is selling a box of retro sports games, you know it is box of shit not worth anything.
We also use 'vintage' for anything 80s or older... but I have really only seen that alot for computers.

Yeah I got it was sarcasm but it came off like you said, that the reason we were discussing somethings retroness was its value.
Just a case of misunderstanding, its all good.

Totally agree
I always enjoy reading your posts so I didn't want to get on your badside! Glad we could hug this out.
I think the poor Canadian dollar, looking at buying another house in Toronto combined with the steadily increasing cost of retro gaming has me a little salty lol

I considered the NES very retro back in the mid 90's, but then again, there were parts of the world it was still being sold and games were being developed for it.
That's a decent system, I would agree with that. I would also count anything over the 25 to 30 year mark as vintage, like the 2600, C64 and 128, and anything using the Intel 8088 or older. NES/Famicon and Master System is pretty close to vintage now I would think.
I only own the "ugly" X'Eye (wondermega 2)

I had an x'eye for about an hour. Got it off ebay and it couldn't read CDs.
Cool looking, though.

Actually, my CDX is going strong, it's the same one I've had since the 90s.
The x'eye I had gotten was in OK shape physically, but was bathed in the scent of cigarette smoke, so that probably fucked the lens up something hard.

Its hard for me to think of the Gamecube/PS2/Xbox as retro. Once people start giving a shit about them again, thats when I consider them Retro. Do y'all consider music from the 80's and 90's Oldies?

I just got a giant fuggin' box of case fans for my new computer case. $140 worth of fans. I'm fucking stupid.

I had this argument in another thread recently. IMO GBC is a separate platform, whereas DSi and N3DS are not.
There were hundreds of GBC exclusive retail games. Including massive names and megahits like Pokemon Gold/Silver, Super Mario Bros Deluxe, Metal Gear, Zelda Oracles games, no need to go on. There were I think five DSi exclusive retail games. Unless you look it up, nobody has heard of any of them, most were DSi exclusive only because they used the camera. And I think one N3DS exclusive?

Crystal is the only exclusively color Pokemon game.
And while I am normally the one to defend the GBC as the "best gameboy", particularly in relation to its library, the games you listed are a pretty significant portion of the good exclusives. Other personal favourites I can think of off the top of my head are wario land, hamtaro, and dq3. At which point I start really blanking. The GB library is overwhelmingly grey and black carts.

It doesn't really matter if it only had a few 'top' games that have stood the test of time (some games were huge names back then but are worthless now, eg Tony Hawk games, Donkey Kong Country port etc), the key is it had so many exclusives on clear carts.
According to this list there were 423 GBC only games, and only 166 cross-compatible Black carts.

Yeah, productive day.
Don't mind the Razer swag -- dude over there sent it to me. All I bought were the asinine number of fans and BoI.
So retro up in here.

I guess I never realized there were over 400 GBC exclusive games.

If we're still on the subject of buying habits, I keep telling myself I'm done buying retro stuff and then go and buy more.
Late last year I was like "yeah I've got every system I want and pretty much every game" and then "oh yeah Xbox" and went on an Xbox game buying binge.
A couple weeks ago I was like "I'll settle out the Wii U and 3DS library as stuff gets cheaper but otherwise call it quits for a while" and then last week I bought a PSP go along with new old stock accessories for it.
I feel like I'm going to keep up this pattern for a while.
Why do you need 7 case fans?

A couple for air intake, I've got 2 radiators that'll use 2 fans each, and then the 120 is towards the back of the case to push more air out. And the point is to run them all at really low RPMs so it's super quiet.

I do the same thing. I just bought Mario Party for the N64 cib. All I need is Mario Tennis to finish off my boxed Mario 64 collection. Now I'm starting to look at the Wii library, seeing what I missed. I told myself I would quit for awhile, save some money and play some games. Maybe get some home improvements done. Well, I'm feeling lazy now and we just got our refund. It never ends. I always find an excuse to stop and startup again. I'm beginning to think it's a sickness really.

My cable mess was pretty bad but when I moved I untangled them and threw away the ones I had no intention of ever using. Now it's only kind of bad.

Ziploc bags are great for controller management.

I have no issue with controllers? Just use rubber bands on the cords.
That sounds like a good idea for AV cords though. Rubber bands plus a small bag would keep them separated very well.

It looks like you just started a real life game of Katamari Damacy. I think I see some sweet finds in there.

Easily. It's butt ugly.HOW can you hate on the X'Eye???
I will own one within the year, hopefully.
Yo my box of chargers / ac adapters looks like that on a smaller scale.
Eh, while not as good looking as a Duo R or RX, it's better looking than the original PSX or the Sega Saturn

The HD model 1 Genesis spoiled me from the beginning. Everything after that looks inferior.
Except the Wii

I also went the Ziploc route and it's glorious
Anything with the Genesis logo on it is instantly gross to me. Nasty logo design which kills the sexy system. Barf. MD for life.
Props for digging the Wii though.

I like thinking about games for ps3/360/wii that don't exist in better forms via remaster or PC version.
Some may not even be good games, but these are some that come to mind. I excluded Nintendo first party because not a lot of Wii games got remasters, and never PC ports with them.
Ico/shadow of the Colossus
Ratchet and clank games/collection
Jak and daxter collection
Devil May cry trilogy
Nier
Wet
Vanquish
Bayonetta
Yakuza 3,4,5,dead souls
Killzone trilogy
Resistance trilogy
Motorstorm trilogy
Metal gear solid legacy collection
Outrun online arcade
Sega rally Revo
Lost Odyssey
Blue dragon
D&D collection
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Dark stalkers collection
Afterburner climax
King of fighters 13
Ace combat 6
Tekken tag tournament 2
Tekken 6
Soul Calibur 4/5
Turok 2006
Sonic 2006
Resident evil Darkside/umbrella Chronicles
House of the dead overkill
Ghost squad
Burnout revenge
Ghost recon advanced warfighter 1/2 (the PC versions are different games made by a different developer)
Project Gotham racing 3/4
Halo reach
Red Dead Redemption
Midnight club LA
Nights Wii
Sonic Wii games
It would be nice to get together a definitive list. This is probably missing a lot, just off the top of my head.
